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!

What advice would you give your 20-something self about intellectual wellness? plz be descriptive
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The ability to open our minds to new ideas and experiences. The desire to learn new concepts, improve skills and seek challenges in pursuit of lifelong learning contributes to our intellectual wellness. Say if you want to be a Doctor, or an Artist. You have to go out and learn those things/requirements to become what you want to be and not what other's say what you shold be. Its all about your own mind set and what you think is best for you, you can go out and even be successful at a young age. All I gotta say is.. . Let your mind be free and reach your top goals, if something gets in your way you have to power through them. And keep on going.

Make a hyperbole related to thanksgiving.
slava [35]
Hi there!
Thank you for posting your question on Brainly!

So, to put it simply, a hyperbole is a statement, but it’s not supposed to be taken literal. It’s an exaggeration. And you want one for thanksgiving... so it could be something like:

“The thanksgiving feast at my house was so big, it could’ve fed an army.”

Now we know that this person didn’t have enough food at that feast to feed an actual army, but from this hyperbole, we know that there was a lot of food at this feast.

Have a nice night and please contact me with any questions!
