The Olmecs practiced basic agriculture using the "slash-and-burn" technique, in which overgrown plots of land are burned: this clears them for planting and the ashes act as fertilizer. They planted many of the same crops seen in the region today, such as squash, beans, manioc, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes.
Miss Emily shows she couldn't care less about society's rules and expectations in "A Rose for Emily" when she:
Refuses to pay taxes.
Refuses to have a mailbox.
Refuses to talk to people or give them explanations.
