Abstract
This paper discusses Inge Scholl's moving book about her brother and sister, who formed a student group, the White Rose, to fight the Nazis with propaganda and intelligent arguments. They were beheaded for treason in 1943. The story is presented in detail. The author of the paper asks: "Did the White Rose members give up their lives in vain?" The author feels that the White Rose members should always be remembered for their bravery and strong belief in freedom for all.

From the Paper
"At first, Sophie did not know her brother had any part in the leaflets, but when she visited his room, she saw a book marked with a passage that had been reprinted in the leaflets. She grew frightened because she knew her entire family was in danger if he was caught. Three more leaflets came out in a few more days, and they were found throughout Munich, sometimes in mailboxes. Some they were found in other southern German cities, too. Then the leaflets stopped because all the students had to fight in Russia during the summer break. Sophie went home, and while she was there, she heard from a nurse that all the children in the hospital for the mentally ill were sent to concentration camps and exterminated. While Hans and Werner were fighting, they found out their father was in prison for his remarks about Hitler. They took it as a "mark of distinction" (Scholl 39). On his way home, Hans gives a Jewish prisoner a daisy and a chocolate bar, and she put the daisy in her hair after he left."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes William Faulkner's short story, "A Rose for Emily". The paper looks at how Faulkner used modernist elements such as third-person narration, symbolism and other modernist literary devices to portray the characters in the story.

From the Paper
"Upon examining William Faulkner's portrayal of changing conditions in the South in his short story, "A Rose for Emily" it is evident that Faulkner reveals these conditions primarily through the modernist elements in the story. The literary approach Faulkner incorporated to describe the reaction of the townspeople to the death of Miss Emily Grierson is typical of modernist approaches to literature, for he utilized third-person narration, relied upon symbolism to develop his theme, and created characters who reflected the cultural isolation of Southern life. These distinctive formal characteristics of modernist literature were incorporated by Faulkner into "A Rose for Emily" because he considered that modernist literary devices were necessary in order to portray his characters exactly the same way as he..."

Abstract
In this article the writer reviews William Faulkner's short story 'A Rose for Emily' and discusses how Faulkner uses plot. The writer explains that this concerns specifically a plot that is slowly unraveled through the eyes of inquisitive local citizens to build a story that develops a dynamism and momentum that few other short stories possess. In particular the paper also notes the constant re-emergence of certain themes and how Faulkner's plot is compelling in large part because death bookends the story and serves as a grim undercurrent throughout.

From the Paper
"A great plot most often makes for a great story. This is especially true of William Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily' in light of the fact that the story builds towards a grim surprise that gives the tale a power and resonance that stays with the reader long after he or she has turned the final page. In the pages that follow, this paper will examine what plot does for 'A Rose for Emily' and how Faulkner's masterful use of plot allows him to take a tale about personal conflict and turn it into an American classic. The story begins with Emily Grierson's funeral. This is eerily appropriate, for death is something that hangs over the story in much as the "smell" hangs over Ms. Grierson's house in the opening pages of the story."

Abstract
William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily is a creepy, patient telling of how one small town manages to maintain appearances of tranquil normalcy while a local woman goes mad and becomes a danger to those around her. Her madness is frightening to the town in a way that is humorous to the reader. An upright hypocrisy seems to pervade the story.Told after Emily Grierson's funeral, the deranged deceased woman's house is a classic old haunted house "that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies" (340).

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," comparing Miss Emily Grierson to Charles Dickens' similar character, Miss Havisham in 'Great Expectations'.

From the Paper
"In William Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily' Miss Emily Grierson is a woman who has never married. This spinster status however is not of her own choosing as she has been seriously involved with a gentleman caller for some time Homer Barron. Homer begins seeing Miss Emily shortly after her father dies in the midst of her grief. A construction company foreman as well as a Northerner Homer is loud and strong posing a significant contrast to the smaller and more reticent Miss Emily ..."

Abstract
The paper examines literary techniques of symbolism and foreshadowing in William Faulkner's short story "A Rose For Emily." The paper explains the role of the narrator and its themes. The paper also discusses the values of the Old South and reasons for Emily's perversity.

From the Paper
"The literary techniques of foreshadowing and symbolism are employed by William Faulkner in "A Rose for Emily" to further the themes and action of his gothic short story. Symbolism joins the story's external action to the theme while foreshadowing prepares the reader as well as the townspeople of the tale for the climax of the multi-layered story of Miss Emily. Another special element is the function of the narrator within the story."

Abstract
This paper examines how William Faulkner was an author who had exceptional themes and a similar style in all of his works. In particular, the paper examines three of Faulkner's short stories - "A Rose For Emily," "The Evening Sun," and "Barn Burning" , and explains how he combines the themes of revenge, social class defined by race, and the negative consequences of the difference in class and gender, in each of the stories.

From the Paper
"In all three of Faulkner's stories mentioned, he describes a kind of social class that was present in the time the stories were written. This is most obvious when he discusses white supremacy in all stories. In "Barn Burning," this is seen when Abner disrespectfully talks to a black servant. Regardless of Abner's social status and poverty, it is evident that he feels he is superior to the black race. He exemplifies white superiority by saying " "Aint you going to even send a nigger?" He cried. "Atleast you sent a nigger before"" (Faulkner 89). The way that he talk about blacks in a condescending way shows that Abner thinks of blacks as subhuman. Faulkner also shows racial situations similar to this in "The Evening Sun." "

Abstract
The paper describes how Emily becomes stigmatized as a past tense entity that has little hope for a future life. The paper looks at how Emily's tragedy begins a spiral downward, and looks at how the rose becomes a symbol of past prestige for the Grierson family, and ultimately is the symbol of freedom for Emily's death. The paper discusses how while roses can lay on coffins as respect for a person's life well spent, so has Emily forsaken the present tense and the future because of her family's fallen past.
