Activity 1

Activity 2
Please read this short lecture on “A Rose for Emily.”
Activity 3
This link brings you to a very interesting literary analysis of “A Rose for Emily” by Professor Mary Ellen Byrne of Ocean County College, New Jersey. The article is actually written for instructors teaching the story to the class, so please don’t be put off by the occasional comments about students. I include this in the week’s readings because I think the article discusses the
functions of town and time in the story so well.
Film: “A Rose for Emily” (Optional)
You may enjoy this 26-minute film adaptation of the Faulkner story.

Click this link to access the Week 4 Discussion Board.
As I’m sure you can understand that, with nearly 80 participants in our OpenLab group, it is not possible for me to respond individually to every single post. However, I assure you that I do read every post. I will, of course, be jumping into the forum from time to time, usually in the first few days of the week. This discussion board really belongs to you and your colleagues.
