In “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily’s actions shock the reader—she kills her fiancé and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

 Prompt Response: 

The most shocking news story I have ever heard that shocked me was the school shooting story that happened at Robb Elementary School. Many people were sadden that the children died at young ages and were not able to experience other life experiences and shocked that someone could be so cold hearted to go out and kill innocent children that were celebrating their achievements during that time. The story revealed that humans do not care what harm they put into people as long as the outcome pleases them.

Summary: 

In class we finished reading the story "A Rose for Emily" and started a characterization chart based on the character we chose.


Reflection: 

I learned how to look for quotes in a story to infer how a character thinks, acts, speaks, etc.
