This story left me wondering why did Porter get married? I think that Porter didn't get married to his wife for love it was for another reason, maybe to escape the fighting with Wilson. The protagonist in the story I think is Porter because he is the one that commited some sort of crime. I sort of feel sorry for Porter's wife because she has no idea what is about to happen when they get to Yellow Sky. As for Wilson, I woudn't say he is the antagonist because he has a problem with Porter but I don't know what kind of problem. The climax in the story is when wilson goes to Porters house and Porter finds Wilson there he says he got married.
I want to know what the importance of the marriage to Porter was? And why wilson didn't do anything after he finds out that Porter is married? Another thing that left me wondering was that what was Porter and Wilson's problem between each other. other than that this story was full of suspense and action. Very entertaining story.

The Found Boat
In this story the protaginist to me was Eva. The story beggins telling of her and Carol and ends with Eva and Carol. The action is when they get to work on the boat to fix it. The climax does not come until they start playing truth or dare because thats when they start going alittle crazy. They also tell of Frank, Bud and Clayton and it seems that Eva kind of likes Clayton. At the end however it is Clayton who makes Eva hate all three of them when he squirts water at Eva making Clayton, to me, the antagonist.
To be honest I have trouble understanding or getting the point of this story. It seemed to me that it did not have a meaning. I read it three times and after the third time the story was the same to me. The only thing that stood out to me the most was the humor that was put in the story.

A Rose for Emily
"A Rose for Emily" is a short story that summarizes the life of a black women named Emily Grierson. Alive she is seem as an obligation upon the town. After her father dies she becomes sort of a secret character to everybody. She stops going out and starts having a conflict with the mayor and aldermen about her taxes. The climax of the story is when she goes out and buys the arsenic which we don't know what she uses it for until the very end of the story. Later on she starts dating Homer Barron, which supposedly is gay, and later he dissapears. When she dies people go in her house and find the remains of Homer Barron and next to the pillow they find parts of her hair.
I thought that this story was very scary in a way. We have an evil and crazy protagonist that is a murderer and has an attraction for dead bodies. One of the things that left me wondering was Miss Emily's servant. Why was his role in the story? And why did he dissapear? Another things that left my mouth open was when they find that Miss Emily had been sleeping for many years next to the body of Homer Barron. Overall it was a very enjoyable and misterious story.
