EGL 1020 Paper 3 Assignment: Applying Criticism For this assignment, you will need to choose either William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" or Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" as your text to analyze. After you have made your selection, you will then need to agree, disagree, or qualify your position with the following essays (see attachment) as they relate to your topic: 1. Ray B. West's "Atmosphere and Theme in Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily'" 2. Frank Bernhard's "Frost's 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'" 3. Donald Greiner's "The Indispensable Robert Frost" If you choose "A Rose for Emily", then you will necessarily only have to focus on West's essay. If you choose Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", then you may use Bernhard's essay, Greiner's essay, or both. These articles are attached beneath this assignment as .pdf documents. The objective here is to demonstrate your ability to grapple with the elements of literature in a given work and respond to criticism. We will cover these critical essays in class to highlight some of the main arguments from each author. You will need to quote extensively from both the story or poem as well as the critical essay(s) to defend your position. Attach a works cited page as usual to document your sources. If you do not wish to organize your paper by agreeing/disagreeing/qualifying, then you should state a position about one of the texts and then incorporate the critical essays to either support your view or as a counterpoint you can then refute. Below are sample thesis statements to help you form a position. However you structure your essay, make sure you fully explain your in text citations, so the reader can follow your reasoning. The required length is a minimum of 3 pages. Your Works Cited page should feature both the story you are analyzing as well as the text(s) you are including in your analysis and responding to. Sample Approaches: 1. As Ray B. West brilliantly points out in Atmosphere and Theme in Faulkner's A Rose for Emily", Emily is trapped in the past, and her interactions with the town and Homer Barron become warped by her own imprisonment. 2. In Atmosphere and Theme in Faulkner's A Rose for Emily, Ray B. West accurately describes Emily as a creature trapped in the past, but he overlooks the evil influence that the townspeople have on Emily and her warped actions.

The Upbringing of Emily and how it influenced her Life
Ray B. West successfully explains to the reader in Atmosphere and Theme in Faulkner's
A Rose for Emily" that Emily is trapped in the past, but he fails to recognize that Emily failures
highly relate to her upbringing, she was not exposed to the society and had little knowledge of
the community lives. She was very emotionally attached to her father to the extent that she
refused to acknowledge his death. There are many insights into the story that further elaborate
her strong belief in her father. In one case, she refused to acknowledge that time had changed
and her father’s influence only existed during the time of Colonel Sartoris’s leadership.
According to Emily, as long as Colonel Sartoris was alive, she was to be protected and therefore
not liable for paying taxes. However, that is not how the then society worked. She did not believe
in change and prefers enjoying status quo. Emily could still not believe that Colonel Sartoris had
died and interestingly, he had died ten years earlier.
At the opening of a story, she i...
