My online source that I've chosen about Faulkner's plot was from  http://figment.com/books/255-SOUTHERN-LITERATURE-lives-/chapters/366 . To summarize what they stated about Faulkner's was that; the plot was structured in a way so that we would be able to know that there's many levels to this story. It went from the past, to the present. It's been made clear that in this story, the past is a living thing. The events that has happened yesterday in this story or to Emily's farther is affecting her today. Even during the story, when the narrator is telling the story they must explain the previous one from the present one to make sense. For example, " Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town . . ." (Faulkner 91) In regards to the book, it was stated that almost the similar thing just different way of stating. Overall, this is just a awesome story all around! 

When it comes to the stories that we've read so far the one that I'm going to compare to my life is "The Story of an Hour". I know you may be thinking wow, that's depressing. In all honesty my life is awesome and full of excitement but this story plot is similar to one of my plots in my life once upon a time. I'll take you guys to this particular time in my life, when this plot was similar. It was a Saturday morning when my mother, and I were at Golden Coral eating a delicious breakfast. We then received a call that my uncle had been missing, and we both began panicking going crazy. To fast forward we got the call that he was found dead in a alley. This hurt so bad, and tore me up. Likewise, in this story Mrs. Mallard heart was troubling and she was informed about her husbands death. Her husband death was caused by a railroad disaster.

When it comes to movies I rarely look at those. Although, I don't look at movies as much I do recall watching a movie entitled "Frozen", with my little cousin. This movie had tons of figurative language throughout it. There were similes throughout the entire movie. One of them that stuck out to me was when she used the wind to compare to her emotions. "The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside." The meaning of this particular figurative language was to express her emotions that she was having at the moment which were going crazy like the wind. Another form of figurative language that was used in this movie was metaphors. "She is cold", although she's comparing two things to indicate that she's cold, she's not using the words "like or as". These are just two to the figurative languages presented in this movie, with there literal meaning although there more.
