Only human beings get a cold when standing out in the rain not animals

Faulkner’s short story "A Rose for Emily" was initially distributed in an April 1930 version of Saturday Evening Post. It is a gothic grotesque‚ and at first look seems to have little in the same way as the short story‚ "Soldier’s Home" by Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway’s story gives off an impression of being the tale of a soldier recently returned home from benefit in World War I.

We wished we were back in the mountains but the spring weather

homoeroticism‚ Nick’s love for Bill‚ is another theory. However‚ these speculations ignore too often the reasons proposed by the text‚ indeed‚ at one point‚ by Nick himself. Nick’s explanation‚ too often ignored‚ is abetted by the story’s beginning; here Hemingway describes the mill town that once stood near the site of the story and the mill ruins that are all that remain and where we learn why the love relationship failed. Throughout the story we get hints as to why the relationship will fail. Nick and
