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.

The researchers decided to investigate the cause of the dark day, and then the results are reported.
Answer:
This essay does not have a stated thesis. What is Diaz's main idea? Write a sentence that could serve as a thesis statement. Where in the essay could this sentence be added? Should such a sentence be added? Why or why not? I believe Diaz's main idea is, be careful who you trust. I believe the thesis statement should be “It's hard to trust someone”. This should be added in the introduction. It is important that this is added because a thesis is the center of an essay. It should also be added because every paragraph in the body would support this statement.
