A. The metaphor that is used in the article is, “Her eyes, lost in the fatty ridges of her face.” Another metaphor and smile we can see are, “With a thin gold chain descending to her waist and vanishing into her belt.”
The chain one does not use comparison, so it doesn’t qualify.
B. His blue eyes looked like the deep ocean. She has a heart of gold. This baby is like the sunset.
good
C. The narrating that I see is from women that can see how women are judged by the decisions they make around their people even though they are just minding their own business. Yes, women of the town, plural.
D. This shows that women prorate just to show how men are nice and kind-hearted people to just show the world that they are never wrong. The neighbor shows Emily as bad because of how she was and how she would just stay in her own business and live the way she wants to.
E. People think of her as not a nice woman and a woman that has the attitude of the wealthiness she has and that she can cause harm to the other girls in the town.In what way can she harm other girls if she keeps to herself?
F. They think of that man as he is behind the money and that he is just doing this under the pressure of the property of Emily.
Yes, they saw him as a “golddigger,” but mostly it was becasue he was a Northerner, not from the South. There were strong dislikes in the country back then.
G. They find the room as decorated as a bride’s room and see that there were man’s clothes in line and that something might have taken place in that room.
H. The people in the town are just judging the women. This can be retrospect because the man and women are just keeping an eye on Emily’s business.
I. This article shows how women are put down if they hang out with a man and how bad the world just starts to show them because of them being a woman.Your answers seem to omit any reference that Emily killed Homer, possible because he was not going to marry her (there is some hint he was gay) and–even worse–she was sleeping with his corpse!
A) One of the metaphors that were is used was spotted at the beginning of the story when they described Emily as a âfallen monument.â And for a simile, they used the the description of âlike two small pieces of coalâ to describe her eyes
B) Hands are soft as a babyâs butt. He runs fast like a cheetah.
I donât kiss and tell.Remember, Viviana: you need a comparison.C) Maybe a woman or someone is from the town where Emily lives. It seems to be a group rather than an individual.
D) I would say this leans more toward criticism of womenâs values and priorities because the Men came to pay their respects for the passing of Emily and though people may have opinions and judgment, for the woman that overrides what was important.
E) it was very clear that the people were completely surprised that the arsenic was brought to the house. They didnât want to believe that Emily can do such wrong to someone. They called her cousins to watch her but after they left they became more concerned.
F) Emily cared about Homer considering that is the only guy she ever loved. People think poorly of him because he was in a lower class compared to Emily and he is a Northerner and laborer. Back then Men were judged off based on [please reword] where youâre from and what job they had.
Is Faulkner saying that Homer was gay? If so, does it matter?
G) When people go inside the locked room they find a body that had menâs clothing.
H) This can be retrospect by looking at the past and this quote involves a lot with their judgment and opinions
I) itâs clear how the author is biased against women because it shows how women are perceived and downgraded because of whom they hang out with. I donât believe the phrase âyou are who you hang with.â Though there were opinions that were made against homer, immediately it made her look bad and the town felt the need to watch after Emily. Also, the main character is a crazy killer who sleeps with a corpse.
A.) A metaphor I saw in the beginning was, “Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care…” A simile I saw was Emily’s eyes being described as “two small pieces of coal.”
Not sure about those metaphors since comparisons need to be expressed. Simile is good.
B.) Metaphors I use in conversations: “It’s raining cats and dogs outside!” “I feel like a cow”
Smiles I use in conversations: “I’m a walking library” “Time is money” “My bed is like a cloud”Metaphors omit “like” or “as.”
C.) I think the story is narrated by someone in the town who observed and watched everything that happened with Emily.
Yes, but more than one person who all agree with one another.D.) I think it is a criticism of women’s priorities because they weren’t really there to pay their respects. They wanted to be curious and just see the inside of the house. They weren’t there to mourn. The portrayal of Emily is a criticism because we listening to what an outsider thinks of her. We are getting Emily’s character through someone else’s eyes.
E.) When she bought arsenic the townspeople thought she was going to kill herself.
F.) People may have thought poorly of Homer because of where he was from. He was from the north. They also thought poorly of him because of his occupation.
G.) At the end people find Homer’s body in a room. What happened was Emily poisoned Homer and kept him in the room, in fear that he would someday leave her.
H.) Those lines didn’t mean much to me because some people can say things like that as a joke. Or people simply exaggerate other things people say. Not sure of it meant anything in retrospect but it could have contributed to his death/murder.
Interesting.
I.) I think the author could be biased about women as he is writing them in a way that portray them as crazy, curious, or demanding.
Good!
