will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.

Burka [1]

The theme developed in both stories which represents a life lesson, and  coincides in Marigolds” and “First Love”, deals with the meaning of emapthy and love while we are growing up. In a general sense, empathy is defined as the human ability to understand and share the feelings of another while love is an intense feeling of deeper affection. These two feelings are brought to light by the authors of both stories in different ways and, through their main female characters whose ages are before their adulthood.  

When comparing the stories, the plots used by the authors coincide in two important items. The first one is the age of the main female characters who are in the childhood and, the second is that they believe that empathy means to love someone. While the main character of Marigolds thinks that destroying Miss Dottie’s marigolds symbolizes the antipathy, felt by the rest of her friends, to this lady; the main character of First love believes that the first empathy kiss received from an elder man means He is in love with her. The conflict of both stories is solved at the end, when the females regret the things they did during their childhood.  

In Marigolds, she regrets her behavior, stating:  

“In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion”  

In First love: she recgnized how mistaken and innocent she had been to think that the boy was deeply in love with her, she stops to be a child.

Rewrite the sentences adding adjectives for each noun. 1. The boy walked into his house. 2. The wolf ran into the forest. 3. The
True [87]

Answer:

1. The eager boy walked into his new house.

2. The ferocious wolf ran into the dark forest.

3. The sly magician fooled the naive people.

4. The exuberant girl visited a good friend.

5. The homeless man begged for some food.

Explanation:

A noun is a word that names a thing, a place, or a person. In the sentences above, the nouns are: boy, house, wolf, forest, magician, people, girl, friend, man, and food. They are all common nouns, meaning that they do not refer to something or someone in particular.

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun by giving it a quality. For instance, when we say "magician", we only get to know about the profession of this person. But, when we add the adjective "sly", we know something more about him. We know he is deceitful, that is, someone who cannot be trusted.
