"Marigolds" Summary Poem

There is this girl Lizabeth she lived in through the Great Depression, but she was in the poorest neighborhood. She remembers being a little kid and getting into trouble. She was very bored. As bored kids, she, the neighborhood kids, and her brother, went to Miss Lottie's garden and threw rocks at the marigolds. Lizabeth felt ashamed after throwing the pebbles and yellling "Old lady witch."

Later that night Lizabeth went home. She overheard her parents talking about money problems. Lizbeth heard her father crying and her mother humming.

At 4 A.M. she wok eup Joey and went to Miss Lottie's garden. Lizbeth started to destroy the marigolds. As  she did, she began crying. Then she just sat there.

Then Miss Lottie came out. Lizabeth looked up at her, feeling ashamed.

At that moment, her childhood faded away. Miss Lottie never planted marigolds after what happened.

Lizabeth also planted marigolds as an older woman.
