Because every rose has it's thorn- A Rose for Emily

This story's beginning mirrored Metamorphosis (and I'm sure all of my classmates want to revisit that wonderful story.) Similar to Gregor's story, this short story begins with Emily dying. It isn't really a big deal, in fact her town can't wait to stick their noses into Emily's stuff. She's just dead, it says that she's sick but that's the deepest this story goes in explaining her death. Also this story is told in parts with each different section going in chronological order with the exception of the first one about her death. The questions at the end of this story suggest a surprise ending, but my fellow readers the ending wasn't a surprise at all. The women locks herself in her house after her father dies, showing a distressed mental status. Then there's a random terrible smell, and Emily buys poison, then to top off the cake Homer goes missing. HELLO she killed him, end of story. Even the fact that the body was creepily visited by Emily wasn't a surprise. Emily was messed up and no amount of lime would erase that.
