A Rose for Emily

Posted by msroyal on March 19, 2009

We are now beginning to study the Modern era in literature (1900 to 1950’s). This era is where authors began to look at America with a more cynical attitude. They began taking a more bold approach in their writing styles, and disputing the “American Dream.” In studying this era, we will read two stories.

One is the short story by William Faulkner entitled “A Rose for Emily“. If you missed this story, you can access it from the link, being the title of the story. You must then complete the following dinner menu assignment. We discussed the appetizer in class; however, you are responsible for the other assignments. If you lost your study guide, you may access it here too. Be sure to follow the directions to avoid doing any other extra work that will not be counted.

Have fun with this project, and if you need some assistance, email us or send us a message by commenting on this post.
