What is Lizabeth's main goal in "Marigolds"?

English

Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Answer:

The main theme or message in the story "Marigolds" is the importance of empathy and compassion.

In the story, Lizabeth is reflecting on a crossroads in her life, an incident that marked the change from child to woman. She is apparently honest with readers in telling us how brutal and hostile she was on the day she attacked Miss Lottie verbally and then attacked her property.

Before the day she tore up the old lady's marigolds, she had not thought of Miss Lottie as a person. In fact, Lizabeth and her friends always used to yell, "Witch!" at the old lady. On that particular day, Lizabeth first took the leading role in yelling furiously at her, repeatedly calling her a witch. Later that day, she returned to her house and tore the marigolds out of the ground. Miss Lottie, however, did not yell at the girl; she just looked deeply sad and wondered why she did it. Lizabeth looked into the "sad, weary eyes" of another human being.

At the story's end, the adult Lizabeth explains the impact:

In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence . . .

16. Historically examine the life of Jesus. What were his teachings? Why did he have such a huge impact on the world? (4 points)
german
Jesus Christ was a man of many followers despite growing up as a carpenter's son. His lessons and teachings included patience, kindness, healing, love, and acceptance. The acceptance and love teachings were shown in many ways, one of the greatest examples being John 4-- when he associated with a samaritan woman although strictly prohibited, Matthew 14:13-21, where Jesus fed thousands from one fish and a loaf of bread, Luke 23: 26-43 where he was crucified on the cross for everyone's sins, and lastly Luke 24: where he rose again and tore the veil, leaving one of the greatest impacts on the world than ever done before. His impacts on many were easily seen and still popular today because he was the first to care so much about everyone, not just the rich or the priests of the church.
