NARRATIVE: William Faulkner’s stories are often told from multiple points of view. “A Rose for Emily” is told from the point of view of unnamed narrators who harbor their own attitudes towards Emily. In a narrative response, rewrite any section of the story from a different point of view: either that of Emily, her father, Tobe, or a character of your own imagination. Be sure to incorporate and modify specific descriptions and dialogue from the text as needed in your alteration of Faulkner’s classic story. Write at least ten sentences.
As I sat in my dimly lit parlor, the memories of days gone by flooded my mind. The townspeople whispered about me, calling me strange and reclusive. They didn't understand the love I had for my dear Homer. I still remember the day my father passed, leaving me alone in this grand old house. Tobe, my loyal servant, was always by my side, silently watching over me. The years seemed to blur together as I lived a solitary existence, trapped in a world of my own making. But even in my solitude, I clung to the memories of the past, holding onto them tightly like a fragile rose. And so, as the years passed, my once lively town faded away, leaving me to wither just like the rose for Emily.
