2nd R.

Its so crazy how Lily can found a way to think about something positive out of all the negative she go through.She is such a great girl and i hate the way that T Ray treat her.When she gets in trouble he make she get on the floor and neil on some rice.For about an hour and that hurts and he has been doing this to her ever since she was 6 ,i cant believe it.Her legs be sore and when she is on the ground in the rice all she does is think about something good like her mom.

Rosaleen is going to town to register to vote and they just pass the civil rights bill so she is very happy.It Lily's birthday on the 4 of July and she is going to town with her.She just want to get out of the house a Little for her birthday.T Ray does not care about his own child's birthday.He never got her any thing.

But they talk about what happened about her mothers death and i think he is trying to trick her into think that she is the cause of it cause she don't remember. But when they got to walking to town Roasleen pour spit on 3 white men and went to jail.T Ray and lily got into there 1st argument and it was about her mother really leaving her instead of dieing so T Ray say. But Lily is going to Tiburon to see if thats true she is taking Rosaleen with her too.

The secret life of bees is a intresting book. It is amazing how the girl in the book still thinks about her mother every day.Her mother die when she was 4. She is now 14 and still thinks about her mother every day.She has a nanny named Rosaleen that she has grown very close to.She has work as a nanny ever since her mom die.

The two also grow close because of what they have to put up with.They both have to deal with liveing with her mean father T.Ray. And there nothing worse than to deal wtih a miserble man.His a father that shows no love.Its like he dont wont to see his own child happy.He wont alowe her to have a normal life.

Part of the reason why she cant live a normal life is because she dont have really no one to get girl advise from.Rosaleen didnt know much about girl like stuff being that she is a loner.The only things she could show her how to do is cook and clean.T.Ray dont talk to her about stuff she needs to know.He dont even want her to read.

I love the fact that Mrs.Henry has gave her the confidence that she could become something in life. Lily needed that, she needed something to strive for.She likes to read books so hopefully she can use her reading to get her threw the life T.Ray is taking her threw.
