After reading "The Lame Shall Enter First” and From “The Fiction Writer and His Country”(1957) I feel that it has one common similarity between the two stories. “The Lame Shall Enter First” is a about a man who finds an old friend, that none of the family has either seen in a while or don’t really remember, His name is Rufus Johnson. In this story the man wants to go find were Rufus in living on the street and take him in and try to help him get back on his feet. Which I believe is a very kind thing to do for anyone whether they are a new or an old friend.
On the other hand the first entry in the Passages from Essays and Letters entitled, “The Fiction Writer and His Country, I believe can relate to the story “The Lame Shall Enter First” because the writer is talking about writing about poor people. Even though it doesn’t come right out and say that Rufus was poor it does say he dug through garbage cans to be able to eat on a daily basis. There is a defiant correlation between this story and this letter and one that would nice to have a little more information about.

The Lame Shall Enter First and From "The Fiction Writer and His Country"

A rose for Emily
1856- Miss Emily was born
1894- Remission of Miss Emily's taxes by Colonel Sartoris and China Painting when Miss Emily was about 40 years old. Miss Emily's father died
1896- Miss Emily buys some poison
1930- "A Rose for Emily" was published
1938- Miss Emily died
After reading "A Rose for Emily" and "Of time and its Mathematical Progression: Problems of Chrology in Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", I thought that even though the story had one initial date mentions it did mention a few other things so, I was thinking to make ti easier to read I would make a little time-line of events but, in the progress of doing so, I discovered that it was not an east task. Above is what I could kind of piece together by what some people had already had figured out but, as Gene M. Moore mentions, "the original manuscript Faulkner assigned a different date to the remission of Miss Emily's taxes and a specific date of her father's death: that date ub 1904 when Colonel Sartoris...remitted her taxes dating from the death of her father 16 years back, on into perpetuity" (Horton pg. 497). After reading this passage it makes it hard to figure out who is actully giving the informaiton in the order that it was actually done. But, if this information is right the remitted was in 1904 which was 16 years after the death of her father in 1888. This is all very confusing but, can also have some meaning to what exactly happened in Miss Emily's life.

An obiturary for Characters in "The Management of Grief"
The Kutty brothers and their father died Tuesday June 12 in a plane crash on their way back to their home town of Toronto, Canada. The boys were in their late teens early twenties and their father was in his early fifties. They all leave behind their wife and mother Mrs. Bhave and a couple of sisters and daughters. The father (Vikrom) Mrs. Bhave says, was a saver and a careful investor (pg 282). Even though Mrs. Bhave didn’t have anything to say about their son’s, all three guys will be missed for sure. Mrs. Bhave knows that one day they will be all together again in heaven.

How to drive a car without the use of my legs.
I have to use hand contorls which is a control that is attached to the steering wheel. Their is a control on the left side that I push in for the break and push down on it for the gas.
I also have a knob that can help me turn corners.
This is what I use to help me drive a car!
