Evaluation Questions From The Book

1) The best part about the book to me is the plot, because it takes you on a journey.

2) The worst part about the book to me is really nothing. I can't really find anything bad about it.

May's Personality

I think that May is a very sensitive person, because she seems to cry most of the time, and when she does she goes to the wailing wall to put notes in between the rocks for her emotions and feelings. When that doesn't help sometimes August has to calm her down by talking to her and giving her baths. May seems to feel for people and their needs like when Rosaleen had a cut on her forehead she seemed to let out tears for her, and also when Lily told her that they needed a place to stay for awhile May seemed to want them stay there. May's very different but that makes her unique and one in million.

What I Did Over The Weekend

What I did over the weekend was nothing. I just sat around and watched TV everyday. Yeah, I can say that I was lazy this weekend. I helped my mom around the house with some chores, but I was basically on my phone the whole time. I was supposed to go camping with my boyfriend's family but that didn't happen because he got in his step dad's face, but oh well I had fun I guess.

My Opinion On The Secret Life Of Bees

The book is very different then any others I've read. Its a type of book if I were to read it I wouldn't get glued to it, but if someone was reading it to me then I could concentrate. Its a pretty good book, but just not my style of book to read but I think that I could change my opinion once the book is finished.

Who's The Queen Bee

I would have to say that I think that it would have to be August, because she is the mother, and also runs the household, and takes care of her children, and also Lily, and Rosaleen. She runs the honey business, and also takes care May since May is different from June. August just seems to me that she is the Queen Bee.

What I learned About Honey Bees

I learned that honey bees choose there Queen Bee.

That the worker bees can't have sexual contact with the Queen since thats there mother. But the worker bees also cannot have sex with each other.

The Queen bee has to mate with a special male bee that dies afterwards.

Lilys Choices

Lily could of asked T. Ray to get her out or get a lawyer to help bail her out.
Lily could of calmed Rosaleen down and told the men to go away.
Lily could have told Rosaleen not to steal the fan, and to make her gave the fan back, and also told Rosaleen that its not worth getting in a fight with the men.

My Best Friend and I

When I first met Ashely in middle school I didn't think that we would be as close as we are now. Ashely and I became such close friends for the simple fact that we have the same things in common, besides boys. She always dresses to impress and same here. When we talk she's always talking about how boys treat her wrong for the simple fact that she always wears her heart on her sleeve and some of the boys she dates take advantage of that. She really cares about her friends and its cute. How I know that is because she is always saying "babe" to the ones that she really cares about. She's a very sweet girl, and I love the snot out of her, and I hope her and I will always be friends till the end of time.

Imaginative Story

It was in the middle of the night, and suddenly I remembered that I have to go to work in an hour.

My boss is rude and isn't going to buy my story, which isn't fair. I guess tomorrow I'm going to be looking for a new job since I am sure I lost this one.
