We can write a letter as if we were Lizabeth from "Marigolds," apologizing to Miss Lottie about the garden and explaining what happened that night.
<h3>A letter from Lizabeth</h3>
Lizabeth is the main character and narrator in the short story "Marigolds." One night, angry and disillusioned about life, Lizabeth destroys the only beautiful things in the poverty-stricken neighborhood where she lives - Miss Lottie's marigolds. This is the moment where Lizabeth stops being a child and begins to mature.
A letter from Lizabeth would most likely apologize and try to explain things to Miss Lottie. An example of such a letter is the following:
-"Dear Miss Lottie,
Even though I know what I did is beyond repair, I am writing to beg for your forgiveness. There is no excuse for ruining the poor, innocent flowers, but I will nonetheless try to explain my awful actions.
That night was the first moment in my life where I understood things. I had finally realized how poor we really are - all of us. I saw sadness in despair in my own father, the very man I thought was infallible. I saw my own impotence as a child, as well as my own ignorance of the world and how cruel it is.
There was rage inside me, and I felt the need to destroy in order to let it out. The poor marigolds were too beautiful - the only representation of beauty in our neighborhood, Miss Lottie. So I killed them, for I couldn't allow such beauty to exist in such a cold, ugly world.
I will be forever sorry, Miss Lottie. I saw it in your eyes that night that you knew there was something wrong, something happening to me. That gives me the hope that you might understand and forgive.
Lizabeth"
