Now imagine that you are interviewing a character from “Marigolds.” You could choose Miss Lottie and tell about the destruction of her flowers from her point of view. Another option is to have the narrator tell the story of the overheard conversation between her parents and explain its significance. On the next page, write five open-ended questions you would ask either of these characters. These questions should push the character to reflect on the significance of key events revealed in the narrative—what he or she learned about himself or herself or about the world.
