First appearing in the April 1930, issue of Forum, “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner is a tale of an eccentric recluse. Emily is essentially a mystery, hidden within the dusty walls of her home, controlling what the townspeople know about who Miss Emily Grierson truly is.

It has amazing sights and scenes, as well as other fun tourist attractions. Going on the tour at Niagara Falls taught me a lot about the site.

It was defined by Irish aristocracy, before going out of fashion in the 16th century and almost becoming obsolete in the 19th century. Plehov, Mel.
