Kicker - LOL. Sounds just like me trying to dig way back in time. I do remember the teacher talking about Faulkner as well as many other American authors. As a teen what was more important was the fun I had talking in class with Kim Hodges who sat next to me. LOL So things are a little spotty in my memory.

Dej - Thanks for the suggestion. We aren't allowed to use Wiki as it is not a credible source. In fact, we had to watch a video (via youtube) on it and take a quiz. I can't use Wiki in my anthropology class either. Even at the high school level, they don't allow the students to use it as a resource. But, I read through your link and got some ideas and that was helpful.

I did find a book, "A Reader's Guide to William Faulkner" that I am going to go get at the school library. Google books shows a little preview and I found lots of useful info. In fact, in one section it discussed "Peter" and when I read it, the theme was similar to the Reader Response I submitted. This will be my 3rd resource that I can use to site from. I read over the assignment last night and I have to use one of the sources listed in our reading. For "A Rose for Emily" the web site listed is the "Faulkner on the Web." I am going to have to go back to that site and do more research.
