At first, “A Rose For Emily” by William Faulkner was confusing for me, due to the fact that the story is not in chronological order, but it was much easier to understand after rereading it. The lack of chronological order made me anticipate what would happen next. The avid descriptions of the characters and the house made it easy to visualize what I was reading. When Emily bought the rat poison, I believed that she was going to use it on herself, but when Homer disappeared, I predicted that she had killed him.
