I choose this drawing as the
house of Emily because it represents the alienation, mental illness, and death.
It is a shrine to the living past, and the scaled upstairs bedroom is her
macabre trophy room where she preserves the ma she would not allow to leave
her. It’s when the group new sprinkled time along the foundation to counteract the
stench of rooting flesh, the town people skulk along the edges of Emily’s life
and property. The house, like its owner,
is an object of fascination for them. They project their lurid fantasies ad
interpretations on to the crumblingdificeand mysterious figure inside. Emily’s
death is a chance for them to gain access to this forbidden realm and confirm
their widest nations and most sensationalistic suppositions about what had occurred on the
inside.

Summary:
It
begins at the funeral of Miss Emily Grierson. Most of the people of Jefferson
went to her house for her funeral. Nobody has been to her house in ten years,
except Tobe, the servant. The house was old. She is a motherless child, so when
her father died she denied his death for three days until she break down and
gives up the body for burial. The town had a special relationship with Miss
Emily ever since it decided to stop billing her for taxes in 1894. While her father
was alive they have much money. However, after the mayor died the “new
generation” wasn’t happy with this arrangement because they did not have the
verbal paper agreement and thus, they required her to pay taxes but she flatly
refused to pay. Thirty years before, the tax townspeople collector had a
strange encounter with Miss Emily about a bad smell at her house, about two
years ago after her father died and a short time after her lover Homer Barron
disappeared. Lots of people complained about the bad smell. So, they sprinkled
lime around her house Not too long after her father died Emily begins to go out
with Homer Barron the construction foreman at their town. Most people saw them
riding in his yellow-wheeled buggy every Sunday afternoon. The town heavily
disapproves the affair and brings Emily’s cousins to town to stop the
relationship. One day, Emily is seen buying arsenic at the drugstore. When she
bought bunch of men’s items, the townspeople think that they are going to get
married. Homer leaves town, her cousins leave town, and then homer came back.
He is the last person seen to enter the front door of Miss Emily’s house. After
that, people rarely seen Ms. Emily leaves her house, except for a period of
half years when she gave a painting. At the age of seventy-four Emily died from
illness in one of her downstairs bedroom that hasn’t seen light in many years.
Her hair turns gray and she gains weight. Tobe, her servant, lets in the town
women and then leaves by the backdoor forever. After the funeral, and after
Emily is buried, the townspeople go upstairs to break into the room that they
know has been closed for forty years and that they discovered Miss Emily’s
disturbing long kept secret. Inside, they find the corpse of Homer Barron,
stretched out on the bed with a suit and wedding tokens spread about. As the
townspeople entered and moved closer to the bed one discovered a long strand of
gray hair upon the pillow next to him.

“Men
crossed Miss Emily’s lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing
along the base of brickwork. The broke open the cellar door and sprinkled lime
there, and in all at the buildings.”
Connecting
to reality... We live in this world together with other people. We will to cope
with a world which is challenging and something unfortunate circumstances.
Every
living we are trying to survive, we are busy doing our own business and work
without minding other people but not all person is having the same mind and set
principles “mind your own business;” there are people who love to get in the
way others life, they crossed the boarders, sniff along just to gather
information on a particular person, for some reasons that they are the only one
who knows what those are. But to cross someone’s life has one reason; you have
a hidden agenda; it maybe you want to use it against him or use it to help the
person for you to understand him.
Aside
from that there are people who are fun of interfering your decisions in life
they keep on commenting or making actions not for themselves but for others,
the results maybe good or bad for that person. It will only be known when the
time comes.
That
is the reality in life that cannot be erased and inevitable that there are
persons who are having this personality or behaviour. As an individual we
should learn to deal with person who are
like this and tend to continue your own life to survive in this crazy and sometimes
gobbledgook life.

Passage
“Of course a Grierson would not
think seriously of a northerner, a day labourer.”
I choose this line because it
emphasized that the ladies there thought that Miss Grierson will not attract to
Mr. Barron for Mr. Barron is just a labourer. Also they thought that Miss Emily
was looking for a man who has a high standard that would fit in her
expectation.
