"A Rose For Emily"

A Rose for Emily was a story that I will never forget. It was one that will haunt me forever. Never in a million years would I have guessed that she just left Harmon to rot in a bedroom. That is one of the most disturbing things I have ever read. But why? I think she did it because she didnt want to be alone anymore. He was one of the only human beings that payed any attention to her and when he died she didnt want that feeling to go away. She wanted him to be with her forever. Which was probably why she didnt want them to bury her father. For the same reason. She didnt want to be alone. The neighbors werent the most neighborly people. The only time they payed attention to her was when something weird or new was happening. They didnt care about her on a daily basis. She really had no one so no wonder she wanted to keep those who loved her close. Dead or alive.
