Emily Green-
Why would William Faulkner start the story at Emily's funeral?
           The author would use this literary device in order to let the reader know what will happen in the end. Shakespeare does the same with Romeo and Juliet. In "A Rose for Emily," the author explains Emily's tragic ending, then focuses on telling about Emily's life leading up to her death.
Olivia Wolff-
Do you see any symbolism in Emily's house?
         I believe that Emily's house symbolizes her hidden life concealed from the public eye. Within her house, she is free to act in whichever way she wants, and she doesn't have to worry about being critisized by the public. She finds freedom in her ability to act as she pleases within her own house.
Sarah Williamson-
Why would the narrator scramble the order of events in the story?
        The narrator might do this in order to provide explanation for the way Emily conducts herself.  The author explains how Emily's life ends, then provides explanation and reasoning to back up why her life ended the way it did.

Literary Analysis:
The author maintained a mysterious tone throughout the story. The author kept the readers thinking and contemplating Emily's story through mixing the order and not going in chronological order. While the reader stays confused throughout the story, the ending provides closure; however, there are still questions left unanswered.
