Advertisements
Solution
The white blossoms that covered the Giant indicate that he was not selfish anymore. He had understood how mean he had been by not allowing the children to play in his garden. He had realised his mistake, and was kind to the children from then on. That is why his body was covered with white blossoms when he died.
