Write a First Response to A Rose for Emily.
You may use the following prompts: What surprised you most about the story? Which aspect of the work affected you most? Why?
Or you may freewrite your response.
Be sure to provide specific textual details and quotes from the story to justify and/or explain your response. Remember, a first response is not a summary -- use 3-5 quotes from the story and discuss how it affected you.


Put together a time line of the events (as best you can) to prepare for an in-class activity.

Enjoy your time with William Faulkner and Miss Emily Grierson! 

Guidelines for first response papers are available here:

If you have any questions, send me an e-mail at english102wcc@gmail.com, and allow up to 24 hours for a response (although I will most likely get back to you much sooner than that).
