What can you infer from the text as to Lizabeth's reasons for her final act of destruction?

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.

Which of the following are allusions?
lesya [120]
The answer is C) Money can't buy happiness and A) He was a real Romeo. Allusions help us visualize the character by reffering to a figure of speach or a character, and comparing that to us. They take money and Romeo, and compare that with another person. They compare money to happiness and Romeo to another man. Hope that helps

Write a diary entry to tell how you feel about arguments.
Alina [70]
February 26 2021

Dear diary,

My parents started fighting and it really made me feel very uncomfortable. I started bursting into tears! I had no one to talk to about it! After I started to calm down a like bit I decided to write how I feel about arguments. It went something like this.
The second reason that we often say the wrong thing is because our first instincts are usually off. In fact, it’s often the words we lead with that get us into so much trouble. “That’s because too often we end up framing the issue as who’s right or who’s wrong,”Instead of trying to understand what’s really happening in a disagreement, we advocate for our position. I’m sitting on my bed writing this, I have to stop writing because I have school tomorrow. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
