A Rose for Emily Dear townspeople of Jefferson Mississippi: I know that all of you must think that I am insane after the discovery that you have made. But none of you really know how my life has been and what took me to do what I did. I want you to read and reflect on the story of a person and after reading it, you can feel free to think and judge me however …showed first 75 words of 677 total…

…showed last 75 words of 677 total…know if I was insane but for the first time in my life I was able to keep someone that was truly mine due to the fact that I never pertained to anybody in my life, not my father, not society and not anybody that would love me. I am not asking you to understand or forgive me, but can you truthfully in your heart judge me having read what my life has been about?
