(a rose for Emily) Did you find this story depressing? Uplifting? Disgusting? What is your overall reaction to the story?

Answer:

I find it depressing just my opinion oh and for the people that didnt read it heres a short summary

Explanation:

“A Rose for Emily” was among Faulkner’s first published stories. Like many of Faulkner’s stories, it takes place in fictional Yoknapatawpha County, located in Faulkner’s home state of Mississippi. Setting so many of his stories in one location allows him to treat this community in depth, which in turn allows Yoknapatawpha County to stand in as a credible microcosm for the American South at large.

The town of Jefferson as represented in “A Rose for Emily” is an insular one. The only outsider is Homer Barron, a Northerner, and his death is caused as much by Emily as by the druggist who sold her the arsenic, and by the townspeople who watched murder happen with bemused indifference. As a result, the town itself has a crypt-like staleness. The “we” of the narrative reinforces the closed space of the story, in which any outsider is treated with scorn. Within this sealed tomb of a story, from the name of the town, Jefferson, to the first residents mentioned in the story, the town that the living occupy is likewise filled with the bodies and memories of the dead. Emily may live with the dead in a horrific and quite literal way, but, as depicted by Faulkner, she is a product of the death-obsessed and backward-looking culture that made her.

What reason does Greta Thunberg give for her claim that a low-carbon economy isn't going to work?
because our emissions have to stop, if we are to have a chance to stay below the 1.5-degree target
because the U.S.A. is leaving the Paris accord and that seems to outrage and worry everyone
because planting trees is good, of course, but it's nowhere near enough of what is needed
because it doesn't lead to anything

Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work anymore, live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody."

HELP PLEASE
As a young boy, Rama, an epic hero of the ancient Hindu culture, was sent to contend with demons. His father, King Dasaratha, did not want to send him, but the sage insisted. Many cultures have stories of young boys going into battle with forces much bigger or more experienced than they are. One famous story comes from the ancient Hebrew texts about a boy named David who went into battle against a giant, named Goliath. Another story concerns a Native American hero called Arrow Boy. Modern stories can feature female heroes such as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.

Why do you think so many different cultures have stories in which young people triumph over forces much greater and more experienced? Can you think of other stories that feature young heroes against forces of evil? Discuss a few.

Was but a book. What liberty

Memories of a Memory
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.
