Stanley wasn't sure if the bus driver meant for him to be careful going down the steps, or if he was telling him to be careful a

t Camp Green Lake. "Thanks for the ride," he said. His mouth was dry and his throat hurt. He stepped onto the hard, dry dirt. There was a band of sweat around his wrist where the handcuff had been.
The land was barren and desolate. He could see a few rundown buildings and some tents. Farther away there was a cabin beneath two tall trees. Those two trees were the only plant life he could see. There weren't even weeds.

What can you infer from the text as to Lizabeth's reasons for her final act of destruction?
Novosadov [1.4K]

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 event from the story best represents the character-versus-nature
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Crusoe loses his newly built roof to an earthquake.

Explanation:

The character-versus-nature conflict means that there is an issue between a character in a story and nature that surrounds him or her. Usually, nature wins over man, and man is powerless before it. This is exactly what happened to Crusoe - he spent a lot of time building his new home on a stranded island only for it to be destroyed by nature when an earthquake occurred.

Other types of conflict include:

- character versus self: conflict within one character

- character versus character: problems between multiple characters

- character versus society: one character against many
