Overwhelmed with Worry [ADM1]I'll be honest; I chose this short story first because of its bright and expansive title, “Marigolds.” But when I read the story, I felt torn apart, like the worries destroyed by Lizabeth[ADM2]. Throughout this story, I felt overwhelmed by reality;[ADM3] I was overwhelmed with confusion, contradictions, and it seemed to me that I read this story of a harsh truth in a dream. Lizabeth's character is so close to me, and yet so distant, that I hate her, especially for her furious indignation which is expressed on a bit of hope surrounded by discouragement, and yet I feel compassion towards her. [ADM4]I leaped furiously into the mounds. of marigolds and snatched madly, trampling and snatching and destroying the perfect yellow flowers.[ADM5]When she madly demolished the beautiful marigolds, I wanted to scream;[ADM6] she had ruined the only lovely[ADM7] and valuable things, taking her anger and confusion over something that seemed so perfect. I felt like the worries because I have been in a similar situation too many times. For example, I play the saxophone well, which allowed me to be part of the Wind Ensemble (the highest group [ADM8]) in first year. Many call me “perfect” [ADM9] and because I can play better than them, they hate me. They treat me rudely[ADM10] and they don't even know me except for my ability to play an instrument. I feel depressed and socially trampled because [ADM11] I happen to be good at something. Some also hate me because of my grades, assuming before knowing me [ADM12] that because I have decent grades I am perfect and too good for everyone. Instead of seeing beyond me [ADM13], they mock me and belittle me for achieving my highest goals. So when Lizabeth tore up the flowers, burned them[ADM14] and killed them because they were full of hope and bloom, which she didn't have[ADM15], I felt angry against her for handling her situation this way. She killed the innocent life that prospered and distinguished itself, because it had the things it wanted and of which it was deprived[ADM16]. Because of this terrible reaction to this scene, I think it's safe to assume [ADM17]I have no sympathy for anyone who hurts others, physically or mentally, because they are happier or hopeful or more talented than them because they feel hopeless. , fearful, or even feeling confused and overwhelmed.
