The Secret Life of Bees written by Sue Monk Kidd is such a moving and compelling story. It was amazing. It was a drama, thriller, and love story all put together.
It is based a child names Lily that feels like she doesn't belong. She is at the age that is a hard time in every child’s life and she has many other issues that she has to deal with. Feeling unloved by her father, getting treated horribly, and also trying to deal with her mother’s death. In the end everything works out for the best. Lily lived for ten years without a mother but now she has the love of many mothers and many people that care about her.
When Lily and Rosaleen arrived to the Boatwright's did they realize who Lily was? I think that they did know who Lily was that would have had to. I do not think that they would have let strangers stay with them. If they did they must have been very trustful people. I could not have let someone stay with me until that I was positive about their background.
August was like the "Queen Bee" She kept everyone together and seems as if she was the boss of everyone. She was a loving and caring boss. She made sure that everything was running smoothly. She also tried to give people advice that would help them. She did it in a special way.
Questions:
Was Rosaleen standing up for herself when she spill the stuff juice on the men feet or was she being revengeful?
Do you think that the Boatwright knew who Lily was from the beginning?
Do you feel that August was the "Queen Bee"?
Did you think the ending would end in the way it did? If not how did you think it would end?
