finial questions

1. T-Ray came and tried to bring Lily home with him, but she put up and argument. “I’m staying here.” I said. “I’m not leaving. August was willing to let her live there. She went to school with Zach and kept helping with the bees. June Married Neil and went off to live with him. Lily moved into Junes’ room in the Pink House. Every day she visits the black Mary and thinks about the day when T-Ray came to try and take her back.

2. I think the “Queen Bee” is August because it’s like she is kind of in charge. When Lily showed up she let her stay and said she could stay for as long as she needed, even though June did not want here to at first. All through the book August is saying she is always there if Lily needs to talk. In the end August says she can stay when T-Ray was there.

3. I agree with the quote, “All sorrows can be borne if we put them into a story or tell a story about them.” I think if you are able to express your sorrows it can help support you. May expresses her sorrows by going to the Wailing Wall and righting what is bothering her on a slip of paper and putting it in the wall. I think T-Ray lets his build into anger and then takes it out on Lily. Lily doesn’t really tell anyone except Rosaleen at first, but in the end she tells everything to August.
