"Marigolds" takes place in a rural African-Amercian community during the 1930s. While reading the story you can see how the setting influences the narrator's experiences and the conflicts she faces. The last two sentences develop the idea that the narrator is learning the importance of understanding what makes a person unique: " For one does not have to be ignorant and poor to find that one’s life is barren as the dusty yards of one’s town. And I too have planted marigolds". You have to accept things as they are, without thought or question.

Answer and explanation:
Animal Farm was not an initial success in Britain because of the critics it represented. The author, George Orwell, wrote it during the Second World War. In the novel <u>Orwell criticizes soviet leader Iósif Stalin and Russian’s totalitarianism.</u> During that time, Britain and Russia were allies and no one wanted to be attached to a criticism of Russia.
In addition, George Orwell was a Trotskyist, which emphasized that he did not support Stalin. Publishers did not take that risk and rejected the novel.
In 1945 the novel was finally published by Frederic Warburg, but it was not known by the public until late 1950s.
