Question

Identify two examples of local color from the story "A Rose for Emily"

Answer 1

Local color is basically regionalism. It's using attributes of a certain area (Like American South) in a novel or story to make the novel have a special meaning. In Faulkner's Rose for Emily, one example is the way people speak. The southern dialect Faulkner writes his characters with is Local color. I'll let you figure out what the other examples could be. Hint: think about the book's setting and the culture of that place.
