Marigolds by Eugenia Collier

Quickwrite This story is about the passage from childhood to adulthood, a journey that is often marked by conflict. In fact, negotiating this rite of passage can demand as much courage as a struggle with an outside enemy. Before you read this story, write down your response to the following question: What fears and conflicts do most young people deal with as they move into adult life?

Symbol: What kind of life has Miss Lottie had Symbol: What kind of life has Miss Lottie had? What do the marigolds symbolize to her? What do the marigolds symbolize to the children? What do the marigolds symbolize to the narrator as an adult? 

Figurative Language: Language that conveys ideas beyond the ordinary meanings of the words is called figurative language. Similes and metaphors are two kinds of figurative language used by the writer of this story. For example, at the beginning of the story the narrator says, “…memory is an abstract painting—it does not present things as they are, but rather as they feel.” What is she saying about memories? What does the narrator mean when she states, “Everything was suddenly out of tune, like a broken accordian”? Find at least eight other símiles and metaphors in the story. 

Theme: How does the narrator define innocence Theme: How does the narrator define innocence? Why does she say that "one cannot have both compassion and innocence"? How is the lesson she learns an important part of her growing process? How has her experience been both destructive and constructive? Lizabeth says that destroying the marigolds was her last act of childhood. Why does she think of herself as an adult from that moment on? Is this a positive or negative rite of passage? Why?
