Evaluation.....

What's The Best Part About The Book?

The best part about this book is how detailed the author is as she writes this book. When Becca reads out loud I can imagine all these pictures in my head. It's also good that Lily broke Rosaleen out of the hospital and traveled to South Carolina. Then they met August, and she let them stay there. That was really nice of her.

Whats The Worst Thing About The Book?

The worst part of the book was when Rosaleen got beaten by those men. I think that's just wrong of those men to do that to her. What gets to me is that the officer didn't do anything to stop them.

The Personality Of May Boatwright.....

May Boatwright's personality is very sensitive. She always cries. She also puts notes between rocks of her emotions and feelings at the wailing wall. Sometimes August has to calm her down by talking to her or by giving her baths. May really acts like she has extra strong feelings, and like it's her way or the highway. I think the way she acts has a lot to do with the death of her sister. When May gets mad or sad she always starts to sing the song, "Oh Susana," and walks away. When May cries, she cries like bloody Mary. Other than that I think May is a nice person.

My Wonderful Weekend In The Sun!!!!!!!!

During the long, sunny weekend I had a blast! On Friday after school I went home and hung out with my sister in law and niece! We just played with the kids, and talked about life, and boys! Then she ended up staying the night with me. We stayed awake almost the whole night talking. Then on Saturday we decided to go swimming in the pool at my apartments. We took our kids swimming and we swam with them. We had so much fun, and so did our kids! Then on Sunday we just relaxed, and watched some movies. We also organized my house because I just moved there last weekend. On Monday, my mom text me about a family barbecue at her house at 2, so we got the kids ready, and ourselves, and went to my moms house! All my family showed up and we started to cook. We had carne asada, macaroni salad, green salad, potato salad, my uncles homemade hamburgers, hot dogs, and fajitas! The food was great! We all played family games like dodge ball, red rover red rover, and some bean bag game my uncle bought. I really liked it because everybody played even my aunts and uncles and parents and cousins! Family get togethers really bring us all closer!

My Opinion About The Book.....

I really like The Secret Life Of Bees book that we are reading. It's very interesting to me. I love how the author is very detailed when she explains things. I hate how life was back in the days where the blacks could not be in the same place as the whites. It seems like everybody hated black people. I think they just judge before they even know the people, because most black people are actually really nice and beautiful. Look at me! Just playing, but I don't think there is any difference between colored people and non colored people! I love how this book is so detailed to where you can picture what's going on in your head. I really get interested in books like this!

The Quenn Bee In The Book.....

I think that the queen bee in the book is Lily because the book is coming from her point of view. The author wrote the book in Lily's point of view. So it makes the reader think that Lily is telling the story about it, which makes her seem like the queen in the story.

Bee Video

Some things I learned from the bee video were:

1. Queen bees can sting more than one person or animal without dying right away.
2. Male bees get kicked out of the hives when the weather is cold, so in the Winter.
3. Bees can't see the color red.
4. Bees are attracted to scents, perfumes, deodorants, and stuff like that.
5. Queen bees live the longest!
6. Bees die after stinging someone.
7. Male bees don't sting people.

Free Writing!!!!!!

This weekend was so beautiful! The weather was awesome. On Sunday my family had a barbecue. It was my parents, me, my two kids, my brother and his girlfriend, and she has 7 kids, and my aunt and her 5 kids, and 2 of them have their own kids, and my uncle billy and his wife and there 2 kids. It was a full house! The barbecue was at my parents house because they had a bigger yard than anybody else in the family. We ate hamburgers, hot dogs, steak, and some ribs! The food was so great and yummy! To drink the adults had beer and us teens and kids had soda pop. We all played games together as one big happy family. Some games we played were, bean bag game, dodge ball, cartoon tag, and duck, duck, goose! It was so much fun playing kid games with adults. I love getting together with the family, it really brings us closer together.

My Bedroom!!!!!

My bedroom is a place where I can chill and relax. As soon as you walk in the bedroom you can smell the love spell scent in the air. It just makes you smile! After you walk in, to the left there is a walk-in closet full of clothes, and shoes. Then, next to the closet there is a bathroom. My shower curtain is blue with cute little ruffles on it. My rug and toilet seat cover are also blue because that's my favorite color! Then my bedroom has a big window, and I have blue curtains covering it. My queen size bed with blue colored bed sheets and blankets is right under the window! Right next to my wonderful bed is my little night stand which has a touch lamp on it so I can read at night when I cant sleep. I also have a door in my bedroom which leads to the outside back patio! I really use that door because I'm a smoker, and when my kids are asleep, I can go smoke out my door in my lovely bedroom!

Lily's Situation.....

Some ways Lily could have dealt with on the situation with Rosaleen being in jail are:

1. Lily could have waited until Rosaleen's time was up, then ran away together.

2. Lily could have asked T-Ray to help her get Rosaleen out of jail.

3. Lily also could have dressed up like a nurse, or doctor and then went in there and get her out of the hospital the right way instead of running, it would have gave them more time.

Ciara Beversdorf!!!!!!!!!!

We started as strangers, then became best friends. Ciara Beversdorf is really awesome in a lot of ways! She is 16 years old, my height which is about 5'8. She is Caucasian and has reddish-brown hair.We are totally the opposite, but now are inseparable! Whenever I need her, she is there for me in a heart beat. I also tell her things that I never tell anybody else, and she keeps that to herself! Although she has her days where she is goofy, she still is my best friend, and I love her to death. She loves to fart every time she is at my house. If we ever stopped talking, I would remember her by her burping, and farting. She always makes a funny face when she belches or farts. She also is very outgoing when we are together because she will sing and try to dance. One thing I really love about her is that she always asks me to teach her or show her how to dance like I do. Then when I show her, and she actually tries so hard, even though she may look goofy. If I ever say something that really makes her mad then she'll say, "oh, wtf?" It really makes me laugh because it happens every time! She also is very communicative because she is always on her phone texting her friends. If I had to pick one person in the whole wide world to die with, I would choose Ciara Beversdorf!

Imaginative Story

It was the middle of the night and suddenly I remembered that I left my two kids in the car outside with the keys too. We had gone to my parents house that night at about 9:00 p.m. We returned home around 11:00 p.m. My kids were sleeping, so I was just going to get them after they slept a little bit. Then I just totally spaced that they were in the car, and fell asleep. Then I woke up around 12:30 a.m. and remembered that they were in the car. I ran outside in my pajamas, and the keys were also in the car. Thank God my kids were okay, and they were still there. I then just woke them up, and carried them into the house. I sat up all night crying tears of joy, because my kids were okay. That made me learn a lesson. Never leave kids alone in the car!
