Phenomenal. Outcasts. Wise. These are words that you can use to describe Phoenix Jackson and Emily Grierson. Phoenix and Miss Emily were both two respected women in their communities. But, they still lived separate lives; Phoenix, an old, negro, former slave who will do anything to fulfil her grandson’s needs, and Emily, an old white woman who does not have to lift a finger because of her black housekeeper and her respected stance in her community. In my essay, I will touch on both topics.…

At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people.

But the thing that impacts me most about this town is the California…

the conflict of having been fought for corn” (Grandjean, 2011, p. 96). There is no evidence that the lack of food was the actual reason for English to start the war. Although Pequot War website mentions the English and Pequot destroying “several cornfields,” it never mentions that they kept any corn for themselves (“The History of the Pequot War”, 2017).
