When Collier uses the metaphor in paragraph 4, what she means is:

D. being poor limited their opportunities in life.

  • "Marigolds" is a short story by author Eugenia W. Collier (born in Baltimore in 1928). The narrator is Lizabeth, and the story is set during the Great Depression.
  • The<u> fourth paragraph</u> of the story provides a sad description of Lizabeth's reality growing up during the Depression. She talks about her poor neighborhood and how poverty was like a cage for them.
  • The narrator uses that metaphor to summarize what she said previously in the paragraph. Being poor meant not only being hungry, but also being culturally deprived.
  • She and the other children had no access to information, <u>did not understand </u>the reason of the extent of their poverty.
  • Without proper food, education, and opportunities, they were condemned to remain poor.
  • In conclusion, letter D is the best option to explain the metaphor, since poverty meant deprivation of opportunities for Lizabeth and the others.
