    Secret Life Of Bees

    Near the end of the novel The Secret Life of Bees, Lily demonstrates how she has grown throughout the novel, by accepting the death of her mother and the constant neglect from her father, T-Ray. When Lily accepts the death of her mother and her father’s treatment of her, she is able to grow up and become the mature young lady who can live with a difficult past. Lily, with the agonizing past, she does have, her past will affect the person she will be in the future. In this quotation, T-Ray states, “I could tell you I did it. That’s what you wanna hear. I could tell you she did it to herself, but both ways I’d be lying. It was you who did it, Lily. You didn’t mean it, but it was you” (299). In this quotation, T-Ray suggests that Lily finally finds out the real truth to what really caused the death of her mother, and she accepts it knowing that she is not able to change it. Lily’s acceptance of everything that has gone wrong in her past illustrates how she has turned into a mature young lady at the end of the novel. She illustrates this because she does not react in any way to T-Ray showing that the truth does not affect her, in which would have in the past. In the past, Lily would have started to go bezerk, started to cry and started to run away to be somewhere quiet; but, now she accepts it and moves on with life because she knows there is nothing she can do about it now. A final way Lily develops into a young lady through acceptance, is when she finally told the Boatwright sisters the truth about everything. Before, when Lily arrived at the Boatwright sister’s household, she was too scared to tell them why she really came; so instead, she came up with a lie that the Boatwright sisters believed. But. as time goes on, Lily develops into the young lady who can accept her past; she does this by telling…

    Nothing Like You

    After Holly lost her virginity to the popular Paul Bennet, a guy she barely knows, she becomes eaten by guilt after assuming that their hook up was a one night thing. Which it was not, Paul wanted to continue to see Holly. But, Paul had happened to have a girlfriend named Saskia Van Wyck, which to Holly she seemed like the perfect girlfriend. She was pretty, smart, and popular, everything that Holly thought the opposite of herself as. As shown in this passage taken out of the book, Holly couldn’t decide whether she was excited the way it was or guilty of the situation since at first she was not close to Saskia, “I suddenly had a secret. And it made me feel guilty, yeah, but I also felt really fantastic. I felt the opposite of dead, really what I’ve been striving for, and someone suddenly had wanted me in a way I hadn’t been wanted before” (Strasnick, 57). Paul also lied to Holly making her think that Holly was the one he would do anything for, “ I didn’t even mind having to keep things to myself. I mean, I thought the whole situation was really unfortunate, but I knew that I was the one he wanted more. That if she weren’t so fragile, so unstable, he’d be with me for real. No Saskia. No secret affair” (57).…

    Reader Response #1 for Alone Together by Sherry Turkle

    Reading the first part of Sherry Turkle’s book Alone Together has brought some interesting questions to my mind. I have often joked about friends of mine who play Massively Multi-player Online Games, such as World of Warcraft and Second Life, being addicted to their “game of choice”. And after reading & discussing this book, while also dealing with personal issues that closely relate to this subject matter, I wonder if there isn’t actually some truth in those jokes. This line of thought has lead me to formulate a couple of questions on the subject of technology addiction, and its affect on the real world lives of its users.…
