One of the largest overall themes in the short story is the senses of guilt. The mother of the story is quite clearly feeling as if she hasn’t done enough for her daughter Emily. The mother in this story is feeling guilt for many, many different reasons whether it be the overall way she raised her child, for having her know what it’s like to have an absent father, and for overall not being the best mother that she feels she can be (Olsen 419 – 425).

“That’s why they were only taking a few things at a time; they weren 't really coming for ivory and paintings. They wanted me!” Even when she wasn’t in her room she was always afraid of something. “I always dreaded that my parents would divorce. It was my third biggest fear, right next to the fear that one of them would get abducted by heartmen on the road to Sugar Beach, or my first fear, that I would get sucked into the lagoon by neegee.” Out of all three fears only one seemed to happen. Her parents relationship finally came to an end after a lot of fighting, disagreement, and cheating. “Daddy, I hold your foot, don’t leave us. Daddy, please, I beg you” she cried that day. From then on, except the servants and cook, “it was only women at Sugar Beach.” Even after dealing with something so hard in her life that wasn’t even what affected her the most.

Many people have ways of influencing others. Most people use words to affect other people. An amount of individuals would utilize their gift of persuasion to convince others of their causes or maybe arguments, while some use authority to force people to do as they are told. These several differences can apply to fathers as well. Not all fathers are similar when it comes to educating their children. Many are gentle, while some are more dominant. Randy T Caldwell, a somewhat young spirited middle aged man. Dark skinned with black Gucci frames to accommodate his big brown eyes. Standing 5’11, board shoulders, happy, loving, man of

According to Victor Strandberg Emily Grierson from “A Rose for Emily” should be understood by the readers as the hero of the story. He says she is a hero because she had the strength to overcome all the situations in which she was involved. For me a hero is a person or character who is admired by people. In addition to that, to overcome a situation you have to defeat it or leave it in the past. I do not agree with Victor Strandbreg for those reasons.

Annoyed at this, I turned once again and lay on my back. I took a deep

Emily was a very stubborn and hard headed woman throughout the story. In the beginning of the story, Emily was a young lady who lived at home with her father. He had no intentions of allowing any man to marry his daughter so any man who ever came to the house to call upon his daughter was ran off before they could even get one foot onto the porch.

A horrible epiphany of the truth about the plantation strikes the grandmother which then leads her family and herself to a mishap. It is significant that the story reveals how nowadays, circumstances are getting worse because before, everything was fine and this produces a positive effect to the young characters such as the grandchildren. Having said that, this is also the reason why they get into a misadventure where they encounter their vicious murderers.

Throughout the novel, Alice Walker takes the young girl on a journey of self-discovery, “ I feels like shit but I felt like shit before in my life (…) The first two months was hell though, I tell the world (…) And I try to teach my heart not to want nothing it cant have.” Celie also talks about her stepfather and how even though she had children from him, she does not hate him, “I don’t hate him (…) Look like he trying to make something out of himself. (…) When you talk to him now he really listen.” Celie realizes that people can change and she believes even her stepfather has changed and has become a better person, regardless of what he has done to her.

The tale opens with the narrator explaining the pain she feels when she is reminded of her past and the choices she made. The main character reflects on how the situation may or may not have affected her child Emily. As she suggests, although it is years later, she still does not

Celie was a little girl who lived with her step dad and mom and sister named nattia. Mr Albert wanted to marry nattia but her step dad wouldn’t let him so he offered celie to her and Albert needed and woman to take care of his kids and the farm and to cook for him. Celie would get beat by albert for talking back to him or not doing what he wanted her to do. If she didn't have dinner ready by the time he said she was in trouble.

The story begins at Miss Emily’s funeral, where the whole town shows up to say goodbye to their past treasure. Emily is a symbol for the past days and her life was a mystery, which is what made her so interesting. The story consists of flashbacks from an unknown narrator and tells the tale of Miss Emily and the towns different perspectives of her. Faulkner’s short story is like a “time machine…[it] is about the past and Miss Emily’s tenacious clinging to the past”(Clausius). However, the fact that the whole town shows up to her funeral means that they too can’t let go of her or the past. The town is almost haunted by Miss Emily; although, the narrator is sympathetic towards her. At her funeral, the narrator notes that Emily has been “. . .a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the

There are many lessons to be learned from this story, but one of the major ideas is about her mom getting kidnap and her only choice is to save he. I believe that this is the theme of the story because it mostly talks about Emily and how his dad died with a big secret hidden. Another reason I believe this is because she loves her mom but and now has to save her from the monster of creature

My father passed away in 1991, two weeks before Christmas. I was 25 at the time but until then I had not grown up. I was still an ignorant youth that only cared about finding the next party. My role model was now gone, forcing me to reevaluate the direction my life was heading. I needed to reexamine some of the lessons he taught me through the years.
