Author William Faulkner's plot in his short story, "A Rose for Emily," basically serves to tell the life story of Miss Emily Grierson, a member of one of the venerable families in the mythical Mississippi town of Jefferson. Faulkner's story line jumps around in time, creating a somewhat confusing sequence of events. However, we learn that Emily has had a strict father who allows her little freedoms growing up, and he looks down upon most (if not all) of her suitors. Emily has few friends, and when her father died, she refuses to allow his body to be removed until forced to do so by authorities. She lives alone in the aging family home, served only by a Negro manservant. Emily eventually courts the visiting Yankee foreman, Homer Barron, spurring gossip throughout the town when it is believed that they are to be married. Homer disappears and the townspeople assume that the relationship is over. Then, a mysterious smell pervades the grounds of the Grierson house. Little is seen of Emily for years, and she retreats to the solitude of her house until her death, when authorities discover a terrible secret. ( THAT TOOK FOREVER ) but there u go!

Siddhartha: Final reflection
maks197457 [2]

Answer:Throughout his excursion, Siddhartha learns and experiences many unique lessons that will shape him into the man he so desperately wants to become: a man of peace and tranquility. He has his ups and downs but after encountering a beautiful woman, Kamala, and learning the methods of love and compassion, he transforms into a singular character. This was an infinitesimal yet, pivotal moment that displays how Siddhartha was guided back to his purpose after being led astray by wealth, greed, and temptations. It changes the tone, diction, and message of the remainder of the story.

Siddhartha left the ‘Illustrious Buddha’ to seek further knowledge and gain a better understanding of why there were so many issues plaguing mankind.  After seeing Kamala, he sought her counseling and wanted to learn the art of love. She instructs him to find a ‘job’ and obtain more ‘money’. This leads to Siddhartha to use his ability to read and write with a merchant that would make him very wealthy. This is ironic because he was once in a similar state of wealth and prestige as a Brahmin before he left them. He begins to become more enamored with Kamala and becomes blinded by love. His disposition and attitude towards life changes completely. Siddhartha undergoes a seriously contaminating transformation that was influenced by the temptations of this world. The entire reason of his journey has changed. He has no purpose.

The moment Siddhartha decided to follow Kamala’s advice, seeking her guidance on love, he began to deviate from the path of his journey. His urges and temptations are too strong and it tarnishes his inner peace. This antithesis is used to connect Siddhartha’s internal and external conflicts. By committing himself to Kamala, he has completely lost sight of his own intentions. His journey began when he left his father and his village to seek enlightenment on his own. It included a series of painful and meticulous searching and labor, but he gained much knowledge from it. Now Siddhartha is enjoying himself, gambling and drinking frequently.  ‘He had no feeling,’ Siddhartha was truly lost.
