Why Is A Rose for Emily written in first-person plural?

This is because it allows multiple first-person witnessing the events, thus allowing even differing viewpoints. Since the story begins in the end, readers are given the knowledge of what will eventually happen. … The first-person plural “we” also makes one feel that the whole town is gossiping about the affairs of Emily.

How does the story being told in a non-chronological order affect the readers perception?

Non-chronological writing can help you increase your story’s tension by offering information to your readers that doesn’t follow the normal cause-and-effect order. You only provide the “effect” information of a particular cause when your story demands it.
