A Rose for Emily

This story was actually enjoyable in my opinion. At first the ending did not make any sence, but today in class my intrigue was caught and i reread the ending twice. What i found is that each of the sections progressivly makes Emily's life worse. The last line, and last image we get of Emily, a once great powerful woman, is a thin, silvery hair. She didn't pay taxes, and was married, and had a fairly nice house. She i reduced to nothing more than a thin hair. The fact that she was sleeping with a man rthat has not been seen in 40 years is an incredible twist. Personally it i one of the beter endings to a story that i have heard.
