The main focus of this essay is talking about the short story "A Rose for Emily". I think that in this essay Judith Fetterley describes what she believes is the overall theme of the story. Fetterley goes into great detail of how the story really goes into what a woman is, how society and men create this image of what a lady is and the double standards that go for women as well as men. I believe this because at one point in the essay she says that Emily Grierson basically got away with the murder of Homer Barron. Throughout the essay she uses text from the story to prove her points. In addition she also breaks down the story and the character of Emily. For this essay Fetterley uses textual analysis. She analyzes the story, gave details on what happened, the reasoning behind it amongst other things. She not only states her opinions but also facts from the story itself. She makes you understand basically everything about "A Rose for Emily" without having to actually read the short story. This authors approach would be good for college essays when you have to analyze a story or certain information and write an essay on what it is specifically about.
Questions for Moreno.
1. Do people believe that by enforcing the English language as the primary literacy/learning launguage it is taking away from these students cultures?
