Who do you think your most alike fromThe Secret Life of bees book?

2009-06-05T08:42:00.001-07:00

I think I am most like Lily because she likes writing thing down what she wants to say to someone, but at the same time she knows she can't say it to them. She doesn't want to hurt the person's feelings. Lily has problems with her dad T. Ray and when I was little my dad would say he would like to do something with my brother and myself and never show up or make an excuse. Then when I was 10 years old and my dad died from cancer. We didnt really get to do to much stuff with him cause he was always sick or to busy for us.

I think the best part about the book is when Lily is fianlly able to get away from T.Ray. T.Ray is supposed to be her father and he treats her like a dog and that is not right.

What I did this weekend

2009-05-26T08:31:00.000-07:00

What I did over the long weekend was I went to the cemeteries yesterday to honor my family that has passed. My family and I had a BBQ on Friday for my birthday that was on Thursday. I had a lot of my family there. A brother of mine came that I have not seen since I was about 6 . It really meant a lot to me that he came to my house. Saturday I did not really do much beside play outside the whole day with my kids in the pool. And after we got home yesterday my oldest daughter had a play date with her friend that lives behind us. That was my weekend and I love playing with my babies.

Opinion about The secret Life of Bees book

2009-05-22T08:35:00.000-07:00

I really like this book. It is describing very well what happened many years ago with the negros and the whites. It described How they were seperated and how the schools were run and the churches. In this century it is ok for black and whites to be in the same place and the same school or any where so why did it have to be that way years ago?

Who is the Queen bee?

2009-05-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

I think the queen bee is August Boatwright. She is the one who takes care of every body and make sure they are fed and everything is going right in the house. August is taking care of Lily like she is her own lilttle bee in her hive. August's hive is her house.

Pink house The secret Life of Bees

Choose a setting from the book.

The pink house looks like pepto-bismol pink.
There was Carolina jasmine in the yard of the pink house.
The pink house has the black mary in side.
There is the smell of bees wax all around the inside of the house.

The neighbor hood that I grew up in was really big.
I was always playing basketball, riding bikes, roller skating and always wrestling. We had a big tree in the front yard that I fell out of when I was about 10 or so. We always had christamas lights up every year. My sister and I were always playing outside when it was time to go to bed. We had a very big back yard with a pool and a garden. The garden had very sweet smelling flowers there were irises, tulips, sunflowers, and rhodi's. We had a garage that we played video games in and just hung out in there with our friends and our brothers.
