I was absent but i did the assignment at home.
But I read In the second part of "A Rose for Emily," we learn about Emily's past, particularly after her father's death. The townspeople pity her because her father, who was controlling and drove away any potential suitors, left her alone and penniless. When the town's officials attempt to get Emily to pay her taxes, which she refuses, insisting she has no taxes in Jefferson, it becomes clear that she is living in a reality of her own. The mayor, Colonel Sartoris, had concocted a story to absolve her of her tax responsibilities, but after his death, the new generation of leaders is not as sympathetic to Emily's situation. This part highlights Emily's disconnect from the changing world and her struggle to maintain her dignity amidst her changing circumstances.
