She isn't very happy about the gift, so she doesn't really try very hard to care for it. Most often she forgets about it, and one day she accidentally knocks it off the shelf and thinks she's ruined it, so she throws it outside in her anger. She forgets all about it until Easter morning when she goes outside and finds a beautiful lily in full bloom and knows that it came from her bulb. She realizes that it was from her father all along. At first she's excited, but then she's ashamed and sad because she'd neglected and thrown away the gift, which must have hurt him. He asks for her forgiveness, and he does, because that's what Easter is about. There are Bible verses mirroring what's taking place at each point in the story. Genre Critique: This is an example of realistic fiction because though the events are not true to something that actually took place and the characters are not real life people, they are all things that could indeed happen and people that could exist. Theme: This is a parable, so it has a very clear moral to the story, which I found to be the need for repentance and forgiveness. Because this is a parable that is paralleling the actual Biblical story of Christ's death and resurrection, I feel that it is alright that the theme is pretty obvious and not left up for much interpretation.
