"A Rose For Emily"

What is the point of view of the story? Who is telling this story? How is this unusual? Why would Faulkner select this point of view? How does the point of view fit with the theme of the story? What specific lines in the story give you clues about who is telling the story?
    
      On A Rose For Emily, by William Faulkner, the point of view of the story is set as observer. The story is narrated by an unnamed character who throughout the whole story seemed to be part of the everyday conversation and also seemed to know everything that goes around town. This method of narration is unusual as it gives the reader the illusion of the character being an important part of the story or one of the main characters. I believe that Faulkner chose this point of view to give an unbiased perspective. The point of view fits the story in a way that does not give any idea of the outcome or set any emotional distress towards any character. Throughout the story, I found many clues about the narrator being an observer. The first line that star to giving me the idea is the sentences,"When Miss Emily dies, our whole town went to her funeral."(33) Another line that gives me the idea that the narrator is an observer is,"She carried her head high enough-even when we believed that she was fallen."(37) Sentences like that ones before are throughout the story where the narrator included himself but he never actually gives his judgment or point of view.
