" A Rose for Emily"

This story grabbed my attention right away. I first assumed that everyone had gone to Miss Emily Grierson's funeral because she well liked and looked upon as the town's elder. I was way off. In this story Faulkner has done a great job at attracting the attentions of readers and keeping that attention.
In this short story Emily Grierson is painted in a dim light. She is considered a psychotic off spring of a long line a mentally unstable family members. Living in the south, Emily was not afraid to go against the grain of society as she dated a northerner by the name of Homer Barron. Society had pity and condemnation for her. Faulkner has made this short story interesting in the order that he writes the events. When Emily goes to buy poison I had assumed it was for Homer, but then she buys weeding rings and men's attire. As the neighbors begin to complain of a stentch coming from her home I has assumed that maybe the food in the house has been spoiled and never cleaned.
The end of the story was quite interesting. When the neighborhood bust down the door to a room to see it nicely decorated and all attire for a wedding there and a dead man in a bed, I then realized where the stentch had come from.
This story is narrated by obe of the people in the town. I think that it was narrated as such because this person new the family background and it gave it a more dramatic, if you, appeal. The narrator of this story did it in an interesting order. He/she started by explaining the funeral and then goes back in time to explain the familie's history. Great order!
