Discussion of “A Rose for Emily” by W. Faulkner.

Answer the following questions. Minimum length 3 complete sentences. Please use specific examples (in the form of quotations) from the story to support your analysis. Format your work in MLA.

Here is the correct way to integrate a direct quote from a literary text:

Example: Miss Emily is described as “a fallen monument” (Faulkner 32). This metaphor implies that regardless of her attempts to deny change, she – like any other human being – died.

1) EACH quote should be introduced with a signal phrase:

Miss Emily is described as “QUOTE” (In-text citation).

The narrator states, “QUOTE” (In-text citation).

The narrator states that “QUOTE” (In-text citation).

2) PROVIDE in-text citation. MLA follows the author-page method of in-text citations. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation (or paraphrase) is taken must appear in the text. Example: (Faulkner 32).

Please note that the final mark of punctuation comes AFTER the in-text citation.

3) COMMENT on each quote. Explain what it means and why you have included this specific quote in your analysis.
