WHAT IS IT PART Well the black death is one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, a plague that swept through Europe and Asia which killed millions in the 1300's. A plague is a disease that spreads extremely quickly and kills many people violently.

Developing a Core Staffing Model Dutchess Scott Kaplan University CM220 College Composition 2 Developing a Core Staff It’s 4:45pm on Wednesday afternoon and Mary receives a call from her daycare provider that her little girl is nauseous and running a fever. Mary calls her doctor’s office and schedules an appointment for her daughter to get in right away.

Her father, Captain, who had lost a leg during his service in World War I, met his future wife, a nurse, at the Hospital where he was recovering from amputation. Lessing left school at age 14, and was self-educated; she left home at 15 and worked as a nursemaid. She started reading material that her employer gave her on politics and sociology and began writing around this time. Lessing first sold stories to magazines at the age of 15, in South Africa. Lessing's fiction is commonly divided into three distinct phases: the Communist theme (1944–56), when she was writing radically on social issues (to which she returned in The Good Terrorist [1985]); the psychological theme (1956–1969) and detailed the conflicts inherent to a changing society.
After graduating with a Masters in Fine Arts O’Connor spent the next several years living and writing in New York State until she was diagnosed with Lupus, the disease that had killed her father. At that point she moved with her mother to their family farm Andalusia where she would spend the last 13 years of her life writing and raising exotic birds. It was here that Flannery would be inspired to write her longest short story “The Displaced Person” A story which, like much of her work, borrowed heavily from her own life. “The Displaced Person” was a critical commentary on the times in which she lived and she fearlessly confronted controversial issues like racism and emigration. The inspiration for “The Displaced Person” came from an emigrant family that moved to her mother’s farm Andalusia in 1953.
