Miss Emily's Facebook


Miss Emily would definitely have her profile set to private because of how unsocial she is. She would only accept people she thought she knew from her community. Which means she probably wouldn’t have many friends or wall posts. Miss Emily would have only a profile picture available for people to see. Her other pictures would remain private for only her to see. The only application that would be present on her wall is that of her horoscope. Info would be limited and she would never change her status. She doesn’t want to give too much attention to her page. The only reason she has one is because she wants to know what the talks of the town were.

The deed is done. Now leave me alone. Stop worrying. Everything is under control.

Now Miss Emily I know your not buying poison to harm nobody is ya? Leave that nonsense alone. The community is worried about you.

Miss Emily I'm not sure what you bought that poison for but I hope your not causing any mischief. You will get me in a heap of trouble, and I was only being a good businessman. Please be careful.

For Miss Emily’s facebook I decided on her profile based on things I knew or assumed I knew about her from the story. She wasn’t much of a people person and she didn’t want people intertwined in her business. Her comments are pretty straightforward as well. She was mean to anyone who talked to her, and didn’t give him or her much reason to be nice. The story creates her to be this wicked old lady and so that’s how most readers interpret her. Our only source really is the author, so we can make things up about what we think she may be like, or how she may feel, but the author pretty much dictates what he wants the audience to think or feel about her as a character.
