A Rose for Emily

This story definitely did not go the way I thought it would. I thought that Miss Emily Grieson was someone who was famous in the town. The first line of the story states that when she died, their whole town showed up to her funeral. After reading on I think that the narrator is someone who either lived next to or close to Miss Grierson because she knew a lot of small details about the house. The part where I thought the stroy started to twist was during the funeral when the narrator started to have flashbacks of Miss Grierson. Homer was known as a funny guy in town so many people were supprised to see them together. I think she decided to kill Homer after he told her that he liked men and she wanted to do it before he left her.
