Comparison of Short Stories By: Sara Chaude Mrs. Laurencot Block Five chaude home The stories __A Rose for Emily__, by William Faulkner and __A Piece of Steak__, by Jack London were very interesting stories that were honestly very boring to me, and had me confused in many parts of the story. One difference that the stories had was that __A Rose for Emily__ was very confusing throughout the story and didn’t flow fluently like it did with __A Piece of Steak__. For example the __A Rose for Emily__ kept going back and forth from future to present which made it very hard to keep up with the main point of the story, while __A Piece of Steak__, just kept mostly with one time period and very orderly picked its events in a precious way to keep it from being confusing. Another way that the two stories were different was the tone of the story__. A Rose for Emily__ was written to me in a very creepy and mysterious way that kept you always guessing what was going to happen next. This helped me pay attention to the story and not drift into space while I was reading the short story. However, the __A Piece of Steak__ did the exact opposite, this story was not boring, but yet again, not interesting to me, so therefore when I read it, I was thinking about other things instead of being focus on the story. This story by Jack London also didn’t have a creepy tone to it, Jack London had more of a down to earth tone that was very settle and just gave us the main points of the story. The last difference that I could come up with between the two short stories was the story __A Rose for Emily__ was twisted and strange and I couldn’t really related to it because normally you don’t hear about an woman sleeping with a dead human body for years and having sex with it. Unlike the story __A Piece of Steak__, which was very easily to relate to because it was simple and normal, and people who have ordinary lives could easily relate to it. In conclusion there were many differences to the stories __A Rose for Emily__ and __A Piece of Steak__, but I pointed out the main differences that came to my mind while I was reading the two interesting, but boring stories.
