Can anyone tell me a detailed summary of the short story "Marigolds"?
If the story is the one I think it is, it's by Eugenia Collier. In it, an old woman in a poor neighborhood plants marigolds in her front yard, only to have the neighborhood brats destroy them. The children act out of their fear and resentment of Miss Lottie: "For some perverse reason, we children hated those marigolds. They interfered with the perfect ugliness of the place . . . ." Only the narrator, "Lizabeth," fells shame afterwards. Then that night she overhears her parents talking--her father has evidently lost his job--and realizes how bleak and grim their life, which until then she had taken for granted because it was no different from the lives of everyone else in their community, really is. In an attempt to strike out at these circumstances, she runs back to Miss Lottie's house and uproots what's left of the marigolds. Only when Miss Lottie comes out of the house does Lizabeth see her as someone eliciting not fear but compassion: "The witch was no longer a witch but only a broken old woman who had dared to create beauty in the midst of ugliness and sterility." The story ends, "[Miss Lottie] never planted marigolds again. Yet there are times when the image of those passionate yellow mounds returns with a painful poignancy. For one doesn't have to be ignorant and poor to find that life is barren as the dusty roads of our town. And I too have planted marigolds."

Jayy told Lady to find someone to get a new heart from. That is when she met Dahvie. Dahvie fell in love with her. Dahvie is sooo Hot! anyway...... So that is why Lady shook her head no to save Dahvie from getting his heart stolen. So Jayy told her to take the Trailer guy's heart. So she had to have sex with him first. That is when Dahvie woke up and walked over. It was a blue glowing going on inside the trailer so Dahvie went inside. Lady was taking his heart and she stopped as soon as Dahvie opened the door and the guy regained his life and tried to shoot Dahvie. Dahvie ran out. Lady told the guy not to shoot. Then the guy barked something at her. Dahvie then said something smart to cause the guy to shoot him. Then since Dahvie was dead, Jayy ordered for Lady to give him Dahvie's heart. Dahvie was going to propose to Lady. So then goes around at the end. You see Dahvie is now Jayy's slave instead of Lady and Dahvie smiles evily. Hope this helps XD SGTC!!!!! Forever
Can any one give me a summary of the IMAX Cosmic Voyage narrated by Morgan Freeman?
The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system. The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles. The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film. Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum.
