2 all the years that have passed have not dimmed my memory of that first glorious autumn. the new country lay open before me: there were no fences in those days. sometimes i followed the sunflower-bordered roads. fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left missouri and struck out into the wilderness to find a place where they could worship god in their own way, the members of the first exploring party, crossing the plains to utah, scattered sunflower seed as they went. the next summer, when the long trains of wagons came through with all the women and children, they had the sunflower trail to follow. i believe that botanists do not confirm fuchs's story, but insist that the sunflower was native to those plains. nevertheless, that legend has stuck in my mind, and sunflower-bordered roads always seem to me the roads to freedom.
the narrator uses legend of the mormons to explain
a) why the mormons left utah.
b) why there were no fences at that time.
c) how he found his way through the countryside.
d) how the sunflowers came to line the sides of the roads.

In a 10-12 sentence response-style paragraph, explore the degree to which you agree or disagree with faulknerâs message. âi believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. the poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to him endure and prevailâ (faulkner 773-775).
