Summary
Summary
• “A Rose for Emily” is a short story by American author William Faulkner, first published on April 30, 1930, in an issue of The Forum. The story takes place in Faulkner’s fictional city Jefferson, Mississippi, in the southern county of Yoknapatawpha. It was Faulkner’s first short story published in a national magazine.
• ‘A Psalm of Life’ by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes the purpose of life, and how one should handle the sorrow and struggles along the way. The poem begins with the speaker contradicting a listener who wants to explain life to him as a matter of number and figures.
• ‘Friendship- In this work, Emerson says that when two people meet who think alike, they grow intellectually and spiritually through affection. Friendship teaches us many valuable things in life and through friendship we learn to fully admire and sincerely comment on one another for the accomplishments. We truly enjoy being in one another’s company and we are happy for their achievements. When we are with our best friend, time just flies by and our sorrows and tragedies all vanish and just their company would keep us happy. Always a good friend would appreciate the fine qualities in us and we could just be ourselves with them.
• In search of the Present- the speech delivered by Paz in acceptance of the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature, in which he discusses gratitude, separateness, and modernity.
