Day 90!

Welcome back from your long weekend! I hope you all enjoyed the extra day and two hours off...thanks Polar Vortex!

Today, we will spend a few minutes recapping what we discussed on Friday, and then we will jump right in to our next story "A Rose for Emily"!

"A Rose for Emily" can be found on page 817 of your books. As we are reading, notice details that reveal other people's perceptions of Miss Emily and her family. Doing so will help you consider the question "How does literature shape or reflect society?"

Also, as we are reading, pay attention to parts of the story that Faulkner purposely leaves ambiguous. We will talk about the potential interpretations of these sections of the story.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
