Analytical Response to "A Rose for Emily"

"A Rose For Emily" is a short story written in the early 20th century and it is broken up into five sections, each important to overall cohesiveness of the story. Each section details some part of Emily's life and each one adds to the depressing overall feel to the story. What makes the story work the most, I think, is that you know that she dies at the end because the first part of the story focused on it.

"A Rose For Emily"  is definately not the best story I have ever read, but I did find that I enjoyed reading it enough to see to the next section, just to see what would happen to Emily next.
