Journal 2

-      Nick

     In the second quarter of the book The Secret Life of Bees, many interesting things happened. I liked how they added a secondary character named Zach to bring out Lily. I also liked how they made it seem like Lily was fitting in and had a family from August telling her she is a real be keeper when she had gotten stung by a bee.

    

     The most interesting moment from this section to me was when Zach brought Lily a journal and told her that they can never be together because society this made me feel like the neighbourhood and the time is very harsh on black and white relationships. The stories setting had been opened up and is foreshadowing that something bad will happen to the black characters.

     I like the character Zach because it brings out another side of Lily and this is good because I can understand and connect more with the main character. I also like how the secondary characters in the book such, as the Boatwright sisters. They have been introduced into the story with their own problems to highlight different characteristics of them. I know that May has a problem with feeling others peoples pain and this maybe the cause of something coming up in the book.

     The books made me think that Rosaleen will either be a character that will go away in the story somehow or play a huge role in the end. This is because Rosaleen is starting to get a little separated from Lily. The only think I did not like about this section of the book was that it jumped around to much. They had one problem or event to show something then they had another random event that I couldn't follow. I think the next section of the book will have events that are very disastrous.
