William Faulkner's famous short story "A Rose for Emily" is written in first person plural pov. As a thought experiment, I want you to re-imagine the story as if it was narrated in first person singular by Homer or Tobe. In 200-300 words, describe how this shift in point-of-view would change the story. What would be some drastic changes? What changes might be more subtle? What would become more visible and what would become more hidden with this different narrative mode? Would this shift change the basic theme(s) that you took away from the story as it is written by Faulkner? This blog writing is a thought experiment, so there is a lot of open space for you to speculate.
Please post the blog before class on Thursday.
