Team Awesome

Pierce and Walsh

1. From Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily"
Using 5A and 7

How does Faulkner connect the imagery in lines 34-41 of the house to that of Ms. Emily in lines 42-49?

Answer: The imagery of the house reflects that of Ms. Emily, in that both are described in decaying, Gothic terms.


2. From Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"
Using 5A

What inference can the reader draw about the tone of the story based on the imagery displayed in the opening paragraph?

Answer: Based on the imagery, the reader can infer that the tone will be dark and ominous.
Note: his could be a great pairing to just give the students the opening paragraph and use it for inferencing in isolation.
