Answer 2

Answer: Lizabeth recognizes that she has looked only at herself rather than at other people.

"Marigold" is a short story by Eugenia Collier published in 1969. The story deals with Lizabeth, an African American girl growing up in rural Maryland during the Great Depression. It addresses themes such as poverty, maturity, innocence and compassion.

In the story, Lizabeth is upset due to the struggles of her family, which causes her to destroy the marigolds that her neighbour has in her garden. She ends up regretting her actions and apologizing. The story ends with Lizabeth, now an adult, realizing that innocence cannot coexist with compassion.
