The story opens letting you know first off that Miss Emily as died. So the plot of the story begins backwards. Mr. Faulkner is getting the readers attention by letting you know that she is deceased making you wonder what happened.

You could also say that because her house use to be white the sun would shine very brightly through her window, but as time went by her depression and loneliness grew on her house and the dull look made the sun go in the opposite direction. Usually when a house is white the sun will shine on it and the reflection will bounce back, but because there is no white it makes it impossible to have bright days. White was also known as clearly seen but the emotions of Miss Emily were never known unless you lived in the house with her and even the person in the house didn't know that much about her feelings.

You can also use white to symbolize her mind it was almost transparent to the world she basically knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world her mind was void thinking of only the things that happened back in the day.

The story continues to talk about everything that Miss Emily comes in contact with. During this time the color gray comes up a numerous amount of times and it lets you know about the confederacy of the south
