Answer 1

At the beginning, Lizabeth doesn't understand why Miss Lottie has planted the marigolds and because of this, she hates them. At the end of the story, after Lizabeth has ripped out the flowers, she understands the woman's reasoning for the marigolds; she is trying to make beauty in an ugly place.
