Use context to determine the meaning of the word prosperity as it is used in marigolds. write your definition of "prosperity" here and tell how you got it.

Prosperity, as it is used in "The marigolds", means success or wealth. But in the context of the Great Depression, and for black people, it would mean not poor, having a job and make ends meet. Prosperity doesn't mean the same for white and for black, the American dream doesn't come true for anyone in this period, but especially for black people.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

its probably fingerprint or personality
