Lizabeth understands the destroying of Mrs. Lottie' marigolds as her final act of childhood, the final act of innocence.
Lizabeth feelings that led her to destroy the marigolds were "the great need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father’s tears".
The story is situated during the Great Depression. Her mother is never home because she has to work, her father cries because he can't provide for his family. You add the hopelessness of their poverty and the fact that she is going through defining times between being a woman and a child she doesn't understand at the moment, she must have felt confused and lonely, which leads to the destruction of the marigolds as an impulse she can't control.
Before she has stated that she hated those marigolds because they have the nerve to be beautiful in the midst of ugliness, they didn't match with the house, the times, and what she was feeling inside.

This question is about the poem “One Today” by Richard Blanco.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The poem's details present Americans as workers from the most different sectors, from those who work in professions that we recognize as well as those who build bridges, who make newspapers, who clean tables, among other less admired service workers, but still essential for the country. With that, the poet showed that each American is important in a unique and unique way.
2. In addition to joint cooperation between individuals, the poet recognizes the ability to generate connections, among Americans, through mourning. This can be seen when he refers to the armed massacres that took place in schools and caused the death of many children. The mourning of the children's families establishes a connection with the whole country, which is also in mourning.
