Evaluation about "The Secret life of bee's"

I think that the best part about the book The Secret Life of Bee's would be how Roseleen is always caring about Lily no matter what. She has been there for her as her mother figure now that her mom is not there with her. Roseleen has always been there for Lily through good and bad.


The worst thing about the book would have to be how Lily's dad does not care about how she feels or her needs. He is always worrying more about himself and does not pay attention to Lily. He needs to pay more attention to her and be there for her like the father that he should be to her now that Lily does not have her mom around.

Discription of May

(May)

May is a young girl who is a little more in her own little world. She likes to do things her way. She always ends up getting sad every time some one around her talks about something sad or if they bring up her sister that died. That always brings her to tears. May is a little more crazy than the other sisters. She is always coming up with strange things. May also makes bologna sandwiches for all to eat mainly everyday.

Over the three day weekend!

What I did over the weekend was I spend lots of time with my family. My family and I where supposed to go camping up to Detroit Lake but it just did not go as planned. We ended up going to Oaks park. That was really fun. It was also really hot that day we went which was on Saturday. On Sunday me and my family ended up going to North Fork which that was a blast. I ended up getting a sun burn but its alright. The water turned out to be really cold so I did not really end up going in the water. On Monday I ended up going to my cousins birthday for a little bit. They were having tamales (yummy) and then ended up going home because the other side of my family wanted to have a BBQ at my house so that was also pretty fun. I ended up having a blast on my three day weekend and can't wait for next week to go camping for sure this time up to Detroit.

Opinion about book!

I really enjoy the teacher reading the book The Secret Life of Bees to class. I think its a really interesting book. It has so many things and adventures to it and a lot of crazy things Lily does. I also like the fact of how Lily has Roseanne in her life. I like the way Lily and all the girls in the book get along and everything. I also like it a lot because it talks about all the things Lily has to go through just to find out about her mother or what really happened.


three facts:
Its funny.
I like the way the author wrote the book and how they have a different way of talking.
Its sad and touching.

Qeen bee

I think that the queen bee in the story would be Lily.

I think she is the queen bee in the story because she is always the one who is making the decisions and thinking ahead of things what Rosaleen and her would do next.

Three things i learned about bee keeping

I learned that if you get stung by a bee you should not squeeze it you should scrape it off with an edge of a book, paper or a credit card anything that has an edge to it.

Also I learned that the bees once they are full they go back to the hive and pass their food to their partner or another bee so they can go back and find more.

Also I learned that if the bee stings you and you squeeze it it can actually pass you some venom and it can hurt more.

Setting from "SECRET LIFE OF BEES"

The entrance of the farm:
big wooden sign with Owens Peach Enterprises painted across it in the worst orange color. but the sign was nothing compared with the giant peach perched atop a six-foot pole beside the gate with its fleshy color, not to mention the crease down the middle, gave it the unmistakable appearance of a rear end.


The descriptions where not the same as mine because I used more things such as the smells and more colors I think I gave a little more discription to my room then the author did in the part i choosed but just by reading that small piece i could see in my mind how it looked like as if I was passing by the farm and seeing the things it said.

Describing a setting!!!

My room has four walls that are painted white and covered with pictures of family and friends so that you can hardly see the color of the walls. Also bright green strings hanging from the ceiling with a picture of a bird with lots of colors on it. There is also a bed with cover sheets that are white with red roses on it. In the right side corner next to the brown cabinet there is also a big black t.v with a little pink and red butterfly. Also there's a big doll from my sweet fifteen standing on a piece of wood on the upper corner of my room. There's also a blue basket next to the brown cabinet with different color clothes. My room is a really quiet relaxing place to lay down and chill or a place to take a good nap but it can also get loud and crazy in there with music coming from every direction. There's a long window on one of the walls and when the sun or that nice relaxing air comes in it makes you just want to let go of what you are doing and go to sleep. You can hear the nice sound of the birds coming in through the window from outside where you can also laydown in the bed and look out through the window and see a big green tree. My room has lots of smells. One day it can have a fruity smell to it or a rose smell to it. I guess it just depends on what I spray.

Ways Lily could have dealt with situation

I think that Lily should of not run away with Rosaleen:
Because then when they find them Rosaleen is just going to end up getting more in trouble so I think she should of just stayed in jail untill they had let her out.

Also I think Lily had a good idea on running away with Rosaleen and start something new where they both would not get in so much trouble and some where Rosaleen would not be treated so badly.

My Best Friend Magdalena

I have known Magdalena for almost four years. We have been really good friends ever since. I love her as if she was my really close sister. Magdalena is some one who you can trust. Magdalena will be their for you when you need her or just if you need someone to listen to you when you are sad and need advice. When me and her are together she is always making me laugh with her things she says or does. The one thing in particular is when she starts singing a song that starts with "woa woa woa" and we even sing it together. One thing she loves to do the most is dance in front of people. I think she is a really good dancer too. The one thing I most admire about her is the way she is always caring for other people other than herself. She gives them what they need at the time and if they ask her for money or anything and if she knows she has it she will give it to them. Magdalena also likes to match her outfit to her shoes. I think she is the only friend that I have had that has all the flip flops and all the colors that match with her shirt. I love her so much because she has been there for me when I most need her. I enjoy being with her all the time. We have so much fun together. We have so much in common that I think thats what makes us be best friends. I will always love her for who she is and always will.

some one I know.

Sue Monk Kidd

I learned that Sue Monk Kidd was born in august 12,1948. Also she born in Sylvester Georgia and then she also attended a school called Texas Christian University and graduated from that school with a B.S. nursing degree in the year of 1970. Sue Monk Kidd's first book she made was called God's Joyful Surprise which was in the year of 1988. Sue Monk Kidd then had started the novel called The Secret Life Of Bees which she was then done with after three and a half years that had passed. Her novel became so famous that they began to use it in the New York theaters.

MY TOUGHTS ABOUT FIRST BLOG

my oppinion on how in class we start out with a blog is actually a nice thing. I think its a good idea because we get to search new things and also learn as we go. Also we write down what we learned in that story we searched and read. Also we get to write a pharagraph in our own words. I think its a great way to start class. =]
