The Beat generation writers tried to defeat the clean-cut culture of post ww2 conformist America that was uptight and unnatural.
The motif of marigolds is juxtaposed to the grim, dusty, crumbling landscape from the very beginning of the story. They are an isolated symbol of beauty, as opposed to all the mischief and squalor the characters live in. The moment Lizabeth and the other children throw rocks at the marigolds, "beheading" a couple of them, is the beginning of Lizabeth's maturation. The culmination is the moment she hears her father sobbing, goes out into the night and destroys the perfect flowers in a moment of powerless despair. Then she sees the old woman, Miss Lottie, and doesn't perceive her as a witch anymore. Miss Lottie is just an old, broken woman, incredibly sad because the only beauty she had managed to create and nurture is now destroyed. This image of the real Miss Lottie is juxtaposed to the image of her as an old witch that the children were afraid of. Actually, it is the same person; but Lizabeth is not the same little girl anymore. She suddenly grows up, realizing how the woman really feels, and she is finally able to identify and sympathize with her.
Lol it’s obvious the three doctors are lying!
Answer:
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Explanation:
Animal Farm written by George Orwell in 1945 is an allegorical masterpiece where a group of animals rebel against their human farmer to create a more equal society. Fable and satire are interwoven as Orwell was not only a writer but a famous political essayist and thinker. The novel can be seen as a political statement about human society, however, Orwell starts a critique about the Russia of 1930s and 1940s and the two pigs in animal farm represent the communist leaders in the early 1900s. The animalism created does not involve in the end any form of equlity and the upper class abuses language to control the lower classes.
