Now imagine that you are interviewing a character from “Marigolds.” You could choose Miss Lottie and tell about the destruction of her flowers from her point of view. Another option is to have the narrator tell the story of the overheard conversation between her parents and explain its significance.
On the next page, write five open-ended questions you would ask either of these characters. These questions should push the character to reflect on the significance of key events revealed in the narrative—what he or she learned about himself or herself or about the world.

This question refers to the short story "Marigolds" by American author Eugenia Collier (born 1928). The story is set during the Great Depression. The characters live in a very poor neighborhood.

Miss Lottie is an old woman. The children of the neighborhood, led by Lizabeth, are constantly teasing her and calling her a witch.

Miss Lottie has the only beautiful thing around: a garden full of marigolds. However, in a fit of anger and frustration, Lizabeth destroys her garden.

The purpose of the questions above is to understand how Miss Lottie feel about the destruction of her garden as well as toward Lizabeth. Since she is old and more experienced, it is possible that she can see beyond Lizabeth's actions.

Perhaps Miss Lottie understands that Lizabeth's doing came from a place of desperation. Maybe she can find it in her heart to forgive Lizabeth.
