The assignment is to pick an idea or question from your reading bookmark or second draft and really go in depth to discover and disclose the real information behind the comment.
To be fair, I did not really follow these directions. I wrote down the events in order to see the time frame these events fell under.
However, off the top of my mind, One thing I want to go a little further in depth on would be in the comment made by the author about her rather loose minded aunt. "People in our town, remembering how old lady Wyatt, her great-aunt, had gone completely crazy at last," (519). I believe the reason he put this comment in the story, was so that a little doubt would linger in your mind as you read. Even as you read, you would see ulterior motives that may or may not be present. The author cares to mention the relationship between her father and Miss Emily in the story as well, though perhaps not the way you'd normally see a father-daughter relationship. "Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the forefront, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip..."(519 to 520). So when Miss Emily dies, and they have firmly buried her, the curious townsfolk decide to break open the enclosed upstairs. In the bed they find her 'boyfriend' Homer, the gay construction foreman, and a single silver hair on the indented pillow next to his long dead body.
I believe Miss Emily was as crazy as her great-aunt. And the body is the dead cold truth.

What I like most about being my age? I like the ease of life. Having a house and food that I have a direct right to. Despite the fact that I have to work to pay for some of the food, and that I have to maintain the house I live it. What I am looking forward to as I get older is having a full time job where I can earn a quality amount of money and I can see how I handle the challenges of life that every adult has to accept in order to live. What I am not looking forward to is the inconvieniences of less free time and a lot more sleepless nights worrying over the said challenges in ever adults life. How should age be measured? I don't quite see the point in this question . . . age does not have anything to do with life other than the age you can accept responsibility. You are as old as you want to be. Id have to say behavior.
