In this excerpt from "Song of Myself", the literary device that Whitman uses to address the sea is (C.) apostrophe.
Apostrophe is a literary device that consists in speaking directly to an inanimate object or to someone that cannot answer.<u> In this excerpt from Whitman's poem, the speaker is talking to the sea as if it was real human being capable of understanding the way he feels</u> ("Cushion me soft, rock me in billowy drowse, Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you"). The use of apostrophe allows the poet to produce a more creative perspective and to develop a dramatic effect.

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.
