1. I.Exposition. It is the start of the story, where it introduces the characters and the background like the time and place.
II. Rising action: It is the part of the story where the story introduces the conflict and the conflict keeps adding up.
III. Climax: It is the point where the conflict is in its highest point, where the story gets most exciting. It could be like the finale of a piece of music. The main character makes a change in the part of the story.
IV.Falling action: It is the where it starts to close up and the conflicts start to solve.
V. Resolution: The denouement, the ending, it is the part where the story ends.

2. It is important for stories to be structured. Because it helps making the story more organized, and the structure is made to help grab the readers attention and to help them understand the plot easier. The structure helps grabbing the readers attention because the introduction usually has a hook that grabs the readers interest that would lead on to the resolution, but if you have the resolution first and the introduction next, it is like having the answer before the question. Second, it helps the readers understand because it is in order, and you could see how the conflict got more interesting. The introduction gives the tools you need to develop on your work and it keeps going on until the climax, it gives you an outline of the story. If you not use the plot structure, the story will become very confusing, you would suddenly read the ending and then read the introduction, you would have no clue of what the story would be about.

3. When I first read the story, I didn't really get how the story flowed on. I only understood pieces of the story. I never got a overview of the story, just fragments. Like her dad cried because he believed he was no help, or how she went to Mrs. Lottie's house to destroy the marigolds. But when I organized it into a plot graph, I noticed how the story went on and how she grew as an adult. Without the plot graph, it just gave me this understanding as it was just a special day. But when I organized it, it explained the background, the problems start to add up, the character changes, and the story ends. I never knew how deep the story was, how it show the change of innocence to reality. It taught me what the marigolds real meant to the Mrs. Lottie, it was her only reason of living.

4. All stories have themes, and this story also has one. I think that the stories theme is, innocence and reality cannot coexist. Reality is a scary thing that people can't actually take care of. So children are masked from reality by innocence. Innocence is saying you have no responsibilliy for an act you do, but when you go to the real or world, or reality. You have to take responsibillity for every act you do. For example, when Lizabeth still was a kid, she did not take responsibilty of messing up Mrs. Lottie's Marigolds Because she was innocent. However, she starts seeing the unmasked world of reality. She learns that she did something wrong, and she has to take care of it. That is what an adult should do. It is really frightening when you first see the realistic world, it is so hard to take responsibillity.
