June 3 "A Rose for Emily"

1. How does the physical setting (time and place) impact the story "A Rose for Emily"? It helps to give the charachter's personality their validity and their vitality. It helps to round out the flat charachters without the use of personal descriptions. It provides the overall mood of the story. 
   
2. While time and location are important, consider also the way cultural environment is linked to setting. Think about how the story might be different if set in a different time, place/region, and culture. The story would neccessarily be different if set in a defferent time and place. Time and place were actually charachters in te story. He spoke of the change in the attitude toward Ms. Emily as the town changed guard with time. Yet, they still showed a type of respect and familiarity that is the custom of their region. The debate about the taxes would not be the saem in New York City, and a New York nigger and a Mississippi nigger are two totally different niggers.. ;-)
