A Rose for Emily
When I first saw the title of the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, I told myself that this may not a story with a happy ending since I have read another book which named "Flowers for Algernon". The book ended with the failure of its protagonist's brain surgery. As I expected, "A Rose for Emily" isn't a happy story at all. William Faulkner uses the literary technique flashback few times throughout the story. I like this the most, because it's very interesting and it divided up the plot of the story into several layers. However, I hated it as well because it made me confused when I read it for the first time so I have to read some parts of the story over again to make sure I'm clear with what's happening in the story. I would like to recommend "A Rose for Emily" to a friend since it's hard or even impossible to see a real person in real life who will isolate themselves from outside world for their entire life as Emily did. Now, we can experience it in this story.
