Symbolism


A Rose for Emily
By: Chloe, Becca, & Liana

Rose – Love, and that looks can be deceiving.
·         Love – Roses are elegant and pretty and it’s something you get on valentine’s day.
·         Looks can be deceiving – Roses are beautiful but they also have thorns which are painful.

February – Harsh
·         Harsh – Winter can be cold and harsh
.
Stairways – Creepy, Falling
·         Creepy – Sometimes when you walk up the stairs they make a creeking noise and it scares Liana.
·         Falling – You never know if you are going to fall up or down the stairs so you never know what’s coming

“Her voice was dry and cold” – Old, Out of Breath, Cold outside, Mean, Worn, Harsh
·         Old – Old ladies have old little squeaking voices
·         Out of Breath – Old ladies have no breath – you can just picture it in your mind.
·         Cold Outside – Sometimes in the winter the air is more dry and it is not humid
·         Mean – Old ladies have really high pitched voices or really low voices like “get over here young lady!”
·         Worn – Because old ladies are old!
·         Harsh – Long pointy nails, and they have harsh voices!

Rat – Sneaky
·         Sneaky – Old Emily is very miscellaneous 

Snake – Slither
·         Slither – Emily can easily get out of things – like her taxes

3 gray beards – old men involved, wise
·         Old men – They’re ore wise and they can control things and they have more experience. They have more stories to tell.
·         Wise – Old men are wise and smart.

Midnight – Crimes, Important meetings
·         Crimes - Because no one can see them in the dark and everyone is asleep and it’s dark.
·         Important meetings - You can’t see and nobody knows about it and it’s a time where everyone’s quiet.

Gray – Ancient, Dull, Not Exciting (a.k.a. boring), Depression
·         Ancient – because the story seems like the 70’s and ancient means the 70’s - It’s kinda like slavery time.
·         Dull – All color has been sucked out of it and it’s just not fun to look at
·         Not Exciting – Which is more funner? Pink or gray? Those are your options!
·         Depression – Depression is upsetting, and gloomy, poopy!
