In Mrs.Flowers,Marguerite's treasure is literacy.Specifically,By literacy I mean books from Mrs.Flowers personal library.Marguerite fell into depression and Mrs.Flowers wanted to change that by letting Marguerite use her books to get through it.In return,Mrs.Flowers wanted the books back in good condition and she wanted her to read the books out loud.This would teach Marguerite that she can get through anything with a treasure as little as literacy.This theme also relates to The Rose That Grew From Concrete's theme of treasure.
