I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND ALL MY POINTS THAT ARE LEFT!!! What is the theme of "Marigolds" by Eugenia Collier?
With 3 pieces of EVIDENCE

"Childhood doesn't last forever"

Explanation:

The theme of the story Marigolds is "Childhood doesn't last forever". I decided this was the theme because when she pulls out the marigolds it represents how she is not a child anymore. When she sees her father crying, she realizes that adults fail and feels extreme disappointment. In tormenting Miss Lottie and ripping up what she tried to create, Lizabeth expresses some of her own internalized rage. However, as she looks at Miss Lottie, she suddenly feels ashamed, realizing she has victimized not an "other" or a "witch" but a real human being like herself. Instead of wanting to continue to express wrath at her, she feels compassion for this older woman.

edit:

here is the text evidence:

"The child in me sulked and said it was all in

fun, but the woman in me flinched at the thought of the

malicious attack that I had led. " "I had indeed lost my mind, for all the

smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me

and burst—the great need for my mother who was

never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and

degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child

nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed

by my father’s tears. And these feelings combined in

one great impulse toward destruction." " The years have put words to the things I knew in that moment, and as I look back upon it, I

know that that moment marked the end of innocence."

hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Why I support that The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers:

1. The fast-food industry is a fast growing industry that require little to zero experience and therefore teenagers are useful workforce for this industry.

2. With teenagers required to attend schools during the day, fast-food industry creates time for them to work after school hours.

3. Fast-food industry can accommodate a lot of these teenagers which means it is one of the best place to gain early work experience.

4. The fast-food industry creates an avenue for this teenagers to show customer relationship management while working there and this can help them in any career of their chosen.
