The Similarities between "A Rose for Emily" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
-Both of these stories are related to Gothic era which means that both of these stories have some dark and scary themes. These stories both relate to the causes and effects of a person's death which was one of the facts in the story. The two stories are both a bit mysterious and scary when I kept reading them. When I was keep reading the two stories, they both seemed like stories related to war. For example, A Rose for Emily mentioned about the Civil War.
The Differences between "A Rose for Emily" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
-One of the differences between these stories is that A Rose for Emily has some situations which are related to racism but The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is mostly seems a bit unrealistic and more scary. In the story, A Rose for Emily, it does not really talk about ghost related things but in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," it mostly talks about the ghost kind of person which is the Sleepy Hollow. We can tell that it is a ghost because it is already dead and does not have a head.

Creative Hoax
A person who sleeps during school hours for the whole time is the man who will quickly lose his brain cells. There is no way in which this man will have possibility to overcome his hardship. If this person tries to ask other people for help, this means that this person will even lose more brain cells. In this situation, something really insane and weird is that when the other people try to ask him for help, they get more brain cells. Due to this, the man feels really inferior and disappointed toward himself. He thought that there would probably be some ways to get help from other people without losing brain cells but he obviously knew that it would never be possible. Although he really wanted to get help, he still cannot have any ways to get help. After he sat in the rock for hours and hours, he finally thought of one special idea, it was to think very hardly and critically for several hours. When he did this, he even gained more brain cells that he did not need any help after it. Later on, he even had more brain cells than others although other people even tried to ask him for help.
