Sue Monk Kidd is a great writer.She was born in Sylvester,Georgia.She went to Texas University and graduated with a B.S degree. She work as a Registered Nurse through her twenties.And during that time she married a man named Sanford Kidd and had two kids by him.
In the secret life of bees Lily the main person is living with a mean dad (Tray)and a stand in mother (Rosaleen).Lily decide for them to both run away when they both have one of the worst days of their lives.When they do, they meet some strong black women who take them in and give them a place to stay. "Well you can stay here till you figured out what you going to do."said August.
This was her 1st book and although Lily and her are more different then alike the book was very influenced by the place she grew up.The setting of the book is like the setting of the home she grew up in.For intense Honey bees really did live inside her wall.She really did grow up in a big country house ( Just like the one in the book).She had a nanny that she grew up with and like nanny in the story they both carried a snuff cup.and said some of the same thing like when Rosaleen said if you put her husband brain in a birds the Bird will fly backwards, that one something Sue said her nanny use to say about her husband.
In her real life her teacher really did influence her to write that's also what happened in the book when her teacher said that She was going to be insulting her intelligence if she wanted to go to Beauty school. She said that Lily was smart and that she could be a professor or writer.''you could be a professor or a writer with actual books to yuor credit.16"Listing to her dads stories when she was young also influenced her to write.Sue also grew up around alot of strong black women and that's who Lily in up staying with when they run a way.
Even though alot of her books have to do with the challenges and victories of women.Most of the cruel punishments she faced in the book was all made up and T-ray and her real dad was totally opposite.

Cecil Smith is the man with whom I have been in contact to be your mentor. You should call him at 706-542-2407 today if you have not already done so. I have discussed the project with him a little, but he should hear the rest from you.
Let me know how this goes.
This is a good start, but you need some direct evidence to show how Kidd's life influenced the way the book was written.
You need to make this essay as complete as the other one. This is all you have left to do in this novel project.
Leave me another comment when you have made the needed adjustments to this section.
You could probably add some more evidence, but this is fine if the minimum is what you were going for.
