  2. William Faulkner • Faulkner’s favorite theme: The American South as a microcosm for the universal themes of time, the passions of the human heart, and the destruction of the wilderness. • Faulkner’s style often strains conventional syntax. In other words, he often strings sentences together in ways that do not follow grammar rules.

  3. Literary Terms • Setting (p. 719) – the time and location in which a story takes place • Flashback – a scene that interrupts the normal chronological sequence of events in a story to depict something that happened at an earlier time

  4. “A Rose for Emily” • Uses a 1st person plural narrator (we, our, us) • Set in the South within a community affected by its loyalty to family and the past, its faithfulness to old values, its pride, its fierce independence, and its scorn for all that is newly accepted. It is a racially segregated town.
