450 Words2 Pages

I woke to the sound of Joey screaming “Lizabeth stop, please stop”. And when I came outside to see what all the commotion was about, it was too late Lizabeth already destroyed my marigolds. These marigolds that were orange and yellow and the only thing that made me run down house look beautiful. They meant so much to me because I got those from my husband Craig Lottie. Craig had a disability that leads to him passing away a couple of years after he bought me the marigolds and that is all I have to remember him. As I was watching Lizabeth destroy my marigolds my heart shattered, it was like the day I lost Craig. As I went outside to see what was happening, I saw Lizabeth sitting next to my garden with her hands over her face crying next to …show more content…

As I wanted to scream I did not because I could tell that she was sorry for what she had done. Then as everything was getting quiet, I heard my brother Joey say “look Lizabeth look!” As Lizabeth heard this she looked up with her eyes swelled because of the crying that she had just done. I was standing in front of Lizabeth and when she got up, she said “M-Miss Lottie” as she scrambled to her feet. There was no rage or anger in Lizabeth's face now that she has destroyed the marigolds. Ever since that day I have learned a lesson about not being a mean witch like the kids thought I was.` As I could tell that Lizabeth was sorry for what she had done, I started to settle down and I was not as mad as I was because I knew she was sorry. But it was still very hard to have to deal with the fact that my only memory of Craig was know gone. Although this may be the only memory I have with him and it is now gone at least I can make more memories with Lizabeth now that she is done trying to destroy my marigolds and now she will not have to hang out with all of those bad people and maybe now things might just get better at

    Finally, the setting of Miss Lottie's garden, with its beautiful marigolds, represents a contrast to the poverty and ugliness of Lizbeth's surroundings. "For some perverse reason, we children hated those marigolds. They interfered with the perfect ugliness of the place; they were too beautiful; they said too much that we could not understand; they did not make sense. Perhaps we had some dim notion of what we were and how little chance we had of being anything else. Otherwise, why would we have been so preoccupied with destruction?"

    In a simile, she compares gardening to “boxing… The wins versus the losses” (Hudes 16). Through this comparison, Hudes conveys Ginny’s deep desire for a sense of control and success in her life. This desire is fed by the memory of her father, who was only bearable when he was gardening. Specifically, the assertion of this desire for control is evident as she recalls that her father “was a mean bastard…” but “became a saint if you put a flower in his hand” (Hudes 15). From those experiences of dealing with her father, a psychological analogy between nature and peace was instilled in Ginny’s mind at a young age, and is what she relies on as an adult to handle her emotional trauma.

As Pascale Hutton has continued with the cast, we have begun to witness the transformation of Rosemary, and from season two onward, I have declared Rosemary and Lee my most treasured couple. Pascale is truly one of my favorite actresses, and I was privileged to chat with her recently, and for me, it was a dream come true.
