Secret Life of Bees!



  1. My favorite protagonist in the novel was May.

  2. I think the message that the author was trying to tell the readers is that no matter what happens be happy with yourself and search for identity.This means to me that am happy with myself no matter what people say or think about me.

What does the "secret life of bees"have to do with racism?

Well I think because of Zach and Lilly wanting to be together.For tha fact that Lilly is white and Zach is black.


Can you relate to the story and to her experiences with racism?What experience(s) have you had deal with that are similar to Lily?

Yes I can beacuse people treat me different beacuse am a teen mom and people out there in the world talk about it and dont accept teen girl to be a mom.Well what i kan realate to her is when she denies her dad.I can relate to Lily when she says that her dad died beacuse when they ask me for my dad i just say he went to go live somewhere else.

SHARKS


My type of fish is a Great White shark it is a cartilagrious type. They live in all 0ff shore waters which have a water temperature between 54F-75F. Most live in Australia, South Africa, California, Mexico, Isla Guadalupe, Central Mediterranean Adriatic Seas. Sharks eat fishes and sea lions. They breathe by taking in water and passing it over their gills which transfer the oxygen to the sharks blood.Great white sharks reproduce placental viviparity they give birth to 2-14 fully formed pups that are up to 5 feet long. It occurs within the female. The eggs hat within the female and nourished by eating unfertilized eggs and smaller siblings in the womb. Most great white sharks attacks are not fatal.
