summary of a grain of mustard seed​

Answer:

A Grain of Mustard Seed is set during the partition of the Indian landscape into India and Pakistan. The book recounts catastrophic events that took place after the creation of these two conflicting states. The story is about the narrator’s father and his friendship with Mahdar Iqbal, a Muslim. When her father used to work as a jeweler, he struck a friendship with Iqbal who worked as a shoe designer and maker. Since the narrator’s father was wealthy, he decides to help his friend who was struggling financially.

The narrator’s father directs more opportunities to Iqbal’s lap which aids him in his success. Despite their cultural and religious differences, their friendship is filled with a lot of respect and honor as they both believed in setting the world right. When the partition is enacted into law, Hindus living in the new Pakistan are forced to leave without any of their accumulated wealth. The narrator’s father is a Hindu, he desperately attempts to flee an angry mob of Muslims who are violently kicking them out of what has been their home for generations.

Iqbal surprisingly happens to be one of the mobsters who rudely confronts the narrator’s father. Iqbal violently mocks and abuses his dear friend in an attempt to protect him from other mob members who were hell-bent on physically harming Hindus. Iqbal secretly puts money and a letter in his friend's pocket as he throws him onto the train. Iqbal had so much love and respect for his friend that he made it his mission to ensure he left Pakistan safely.

The friendship of these two men from different backgrounds showcases a bond that transcends beyond all borders and thrives despite the circumstances. Through stories like these and others iIqbaln the collection, Pargeter explores the relationships between man and God, man and man, and the everlasting feeling of true friendship and love.

Answer:

In the Gospel of Matthew the parable is as follows: The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

No one knows exactly when the first people came to the Guadalupe Mountains in far west Texas, but archaeological evidence dates back over 10,000 years ago. The earliest inhabitants were hunter-gathers who followed available game and ripening vegetation. They lived in and among the many caves and alcoves common throughout the range. Scattered evidence of their existence, including projectile points, baskets, pottery, and rock art has been found throughout the mountain range.
Since then, many different groups have moved in and out of the area, including the Spanish who arrived by the mid 1500s. There is little evidence of any attempts on their part to penetrate the Guadalupes. No large-scale settlements have been located. Their influence was significant, though, because they introduced horses into the area. For the bands of Apaches who roamed freely over much of the southwest, horses quickly became an asset to their nomadic lifestyle. The Mescalero Apaches followed game, much as the earlier peoples had done, and they also harvested the agave (or mescal) for food and fiber. Mescalero is name given to them by the Spanish. It means mescal-maker. Agave roasting pits and other remains of Mescalero campsites are common in mountains.
Prior to the mid 1800's, the Guadalupes remained an unchallenged sanctuary for the Mescalero Apaches. But newly established transportation routes, and the end of the Civil War, encouraged droves of pioneers, homesteaders, miners, and numerous others to head west. In the mid 1800s, explorers were commissioned to look for possible emigrant routes to the west. The proposed transcontinental railroad expected to follow one of these routes. Although these surveying expeditions would never lead to a railroad through Guadalupe Pass, they did provide the first extensive studies of the Guadalupe region.
In 1858, a horse-changing station was constructed near Pine Springs for the Butterfield Overland Mail. To protect their investments, the stage line and settlers in the area demanded protection from the military. Several cavalry troops were ordered in and out of the area to halt Indian raids and secure settlements along the stage route. In the winter of 1869, troops lead by Lt. H.B. Cushing penetrated the Guadalupes and destroyed two primary Apache camps. These aggressive actions were devastating to the Mescaleros who were already facing food shortages within their increasingly limited land base. They were eventually driven out of the Guadalupes. By the late 1800's, nearly all of the surviving Mescalero Apaches in the United States were living on reservations.
Permanent settlements in the Guadalupes were not common though, even after the final displacement of the Mescaleros. The Butterfield stage route through the Guadalupes was abandoned in less than a year for a more favorable course along a string of army forts to the south. Most settlers found the range (and its limited water sources) too rugged and inhospitable. The first permanent ranch house was constructed in 1876 by the Rader brothers. Now called Frijole Ranch, it served as residence for several families through the years. And, as the only major building complex in the region (for several decades), it served as a community center and regional post office from 1916-1942. Today, the Frijole Ranch House has been restored and operates as a cultural museum.

excerpt from A Good Place for Maggle
by Ofella Dumas Lachtman
"ACCIDENT AT GREENSTON NUCLEAR PLANT, No Danger to Community, Officials Say."
Every time that headline from yesterday's Los Angeles News flashed into her mind, Margarita-Maggle-Cruz griped the steering wheel of her
VW more tightly and assured herself that she was doing the right thing. It wasn't as if she were in danger from the Greenston plant in the desert
hundreds of miles away, but those headlines had been the convincing factor in her decision. Yes, it was the right thing to do, and hour after hour
as she drove north of Los Angeles, she had felt more and more competent and more secure. Until now.
For the last hour she had been so Intent on the changing countryside that she forgot to buy gas. The gauge said empty. She drove on, Idreading
the moment when the motor would draw on the last drop of gasoline and give up. She was driving on a narrow country road lined with tall
eucalyptus trees and nothing else. Then in a clearing on the left side of the road, she saw a battered old sign with faded red letters: G-A-S. No, It
wasn't a mirage; it was more like a miracle. With a grateful sigh she turned into the run-down station, bumping over broken concrete and coming
to a stop by one of two pumps.
A weary-looking old man in grease-spotted overalls appeared beside her. "Fill 'er up?"
"Is it cheaper if I pump it myself?" It didn't look as if he'd take a credit card and she was low on cash.
"All the same here, missy," the man called, rounding the car. "Fill 'er up?"
Maggle said yes, please go ahead, and climbed out of the blue VW. Good thing I didn't splurge on lunch, she thought, staring at the pumps. Gas
is almost twice as high up here as it is in Los Angeles. But I'm not complaining. When she had driven mile after mile without finding a gas station,
she had begun to think that maybe being sixteen and a half didn't make her that smart; maybe a trip like this was a little much for her. Now she
felt better. She stretched and thought, Dad would be proud of me. I'm doing what is right for me. Oh, I'll miss my friends, especially Mim and
