The motif of marigolds is juxtaposed to the grim, dusty, crumbling landscape from the very beginning of the story. They are an isolated symbol of beauty, as opposed to all the mischief and squalor the characters live in. The moment Lizabeth and the other children throw rocks at the marigolds, "beheading" a couple of them, is the beginning of Lizabeth's maturation. The culmination is the moment she hears her father sobbing, goes out into the night and destroys the perfect flowers in a moment of powerless despair. Then she sees the old woman, Miss Lottie, and doesn't perceive her as a witch anymore. Miss Lottie is just an old, broken woman, incredibly sad because the only beauty she had managed to create and nurture is now destroyed. This image of the real Miss Lottie is juxtaposed to the image of her as an old witch that the children were afraid of. Actually, it is the same person; but Lizabeth is not the same little girl anymore. She suddenly grows up, realizing how the woman really feels, and she is finally able to identify and sympathize with her.

Explanation:
Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" revolves around a village's tradition of making human sacrifices annually for a good harvest. The story deals with themes of society in conflict with individuals, tradition, civilization, violence, and the importance of questioning tradition.
In the given excerpt, when Mr. Adams revealed that some villages had decided to stop doing the annual lottery, Old Man Warner rebuked the thought heavily. According to him, the lottery has been a part of their lives and must continue to be so. He vehemently and straightforwardly stated, <em>"There's always been a lottery."</em>
This shows that Old Man Warner represents the importance of tradition, advancing the plot and theme in the story.
Answer:
The elements that 'The Silent Songbird' have employed from 'The Rainbow Crow' includes various things like the subject. The subject of both stories is centered around the idea of 'discussion or anatomy of convenience and selflessness.' Both of them talk about the issues and the resolutions to them.
