“Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier is a personal narrative of the challenges that adolescents face with coming of age. The author is able to accurately capture the voice of her younger self-using literary devices such as imagery, juxtaposition, and diction. The author uses these literary devices to give the reader a precise representation of the struggles she surpassed, which pushed her towards adulthood.

With the application of imagery, the reader can illustrate a representation of the situation. Many disapproving glances from the white society, meanwhile, this is also shown to be genuine as the result of the author using symbolism once more; a coyote. The significance of the coyote in relation to the story is generally depicted on page three with references such as “ She had known that it hadn't been a matter of animal stupidity, because a coyote always remembered where it had came from” with the extension of “ She thought of the coyotes hanging around in the cities these days. Nobody wanted them there, so nobody made friends with them, but once in awhile they made the papers when they did something wrong or showed up, trotting along Broadway, cool as could be”. Physical objects such as the door and the coyote exhibited unmistakable bond between the overall round and protagonist character, Lena and the objects itself and the author. As a matter of fact, Jeanette Armstrong is a person who grew up on the Penticton Indian Reserve which heavily explains why the story was written in third person; the connection between author and protagonist was more personal.  The fact that nobody wanted to be friends with Lena and used the stigma of First Nations being viewed inaccurately by modern society.  No matter how

Seemingly, the flowers represent Elisa. She believes she is strong and tough and able to accomplish anything thrown her way; however, taken for granted as she is only a woman allowed to look and act accordingly. Surrounding the flowers is a wire fence set up to keep out predators and to separate the flowers from the rest of the farm. The wire fence is symbolic in the fact that it is identical to the world Elisa lives in. Elisa is contained within the farm, unable to explore or leave without the help of someone else. Elisa is stuck on the farm, isolated from the rest of the world so that she can be kept safe. Naive and unaware of how the world works, her husband keeps her on the farm to protect her from harm. When Elisa gives the chrysanthemum to the travelling merchant, she gives him a small piece of herself. Later, as her and her husband are driving to town, she sees the flower tossed aside as though it was nothing; as a result, she realizes she could never go off on and live the way the merchant had. The flowers embody her character still, and how out of her home without protection, the world can be harsh and cruel. In short, Elisa’s isolation leaves her ignorant, unable to understand how callous the world is, and comes to the bleak realization that she can’t live a life anywhere outside of her fence. Because of how women were treated, constantly pushed down and unable to pursue their interests, Elisa is left unable to learn what life has to offer. Learning

Into this atmosphere of spiritual paralysis the boy bears, with blind hopes and romantic dreams, his encounter with first love. In the face of ugly, drab reality-"amid the curses of laborers," "jostled by drunken men and bargaining women"-he carries his aunt's parcels as she shops in the market place, imagining that he bears, not parcels, but a "chalice through a throng of foes." The "noises converged in a single sensation of life" and in a blending of Romantic and Christian symbols he transforms in his mind a perfectly ordinary girl into an enchanted princess: untouchable, promising, saintly. Setting in this scene depicts the harsh, dirty reality of life which the boy blindly ignores. The contrast between the real and the boy's dreams is ironically drawn and clearly foreshadows the boy's inability to keep the dream, to remain blind.

At this point the poet uses symbolism substituting a flower for his mother. This is an appropriate symbol as, like his mother, a flower is feminine, delicate and

Another character that is connected to a flower is Mrs. Maudie because just like the Azaleas she keeps positiveness even though she's surrounded by negativity. The author quotes, “Always wanted a smaller house, Jem

Quite ironical. In the second stanza, he instructor is forced to call the group into attention. He shows them the rifles ‘swivels’ which sadly are fastened on a wooden frame to represent the gun. As the recruits mind keeps on wandering beyond he again notices that the japonica plant is blossoming in the neighbor’s garden. Then it dawns on the reader that it is the beginning of spring again as described in lines 4 and 5 .The use of contrast by Henry in this stanza is to highlight that the recruiters strain on how to divide his attention between the important lecture on how to hold onto a gun the war weapon; the recruiters on the other hand is concentrating the fragile flowers that just blossomed. The recruiter finds the flowers attractive as they are undergoing a natural process as opposed to his lesson that is not natural He is supposed to imagine a gun somewhere as he holds it. Despite the fact that the flowers are very fragile, they do not need to learn any lesson in regards to their safety or even follow any instructions that are capricious.

While going through their checklist, Snodgrass reminds himself to put an aspirin in the flowers to keep them preserved. These flowers symbolize the love and affection the couple shares hoping to keep their love preserved as well when they return to their normal lives. This symbolism connection is the only sort emotion Snodgrass uses in his poem to show these two were intimate.

The girl distrusts her mother and believes her to be out of touch, while helping her father in "his real work" (468). Surprisingly, the girl's desire to avoid the manifestation of her femininity in womanly tasks, such as cooking and cleaning, influences her into feeling that her mother is "plotting now to get [her] to stay in the house [. . ]. and keep [her] from working for [her] father" (469). The girl chooses to dismiss her mother, thereby dismissing her own future role as a housewife.

There are many versions of the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood and they all come with different names, details and ideas. A detail in the stories that one can see is that intelligence can end up being the saving factor in a bad situation. These stories such as, “Little Red Riding Hood” by Charles Perrault, and “Little Red Cap” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are all different in their own ways yet very much similar to one another in the ideas and thoughts that they produce from us as the readers. One main ideal that one might believe the authors of these stories try to convey to us might be the importance of intelligence in these stories when it comes to listening to our parents, talking to strangers, and
