Secret Life

The review of ‘’the secret life of Walter Mitty’’ The first time I saw the poster of this movie I knew that this is a comedy. But to my surprise, I never think of a comedy could be so powerful and encouraging. This is a clearly understandable comedy with the profound theme. It talks about Walter, an ordinary, cowardly man, who works with the photographic plate in a magazine company for 16 years. His life is so tedious that he always daydreams. He dreams about being a hero, saving the woman whom…

The starting of the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is like an action movie but it immediately turns into a comedy.

The movie is about Walter Mitty, who works as a negative asset manager for Life magazine that management is going to turn into an online exclusive publication. Story shows the…

Typed Revision 1 Ruthless and greedy are just two of the many words that could describe the two fathers from the book, Secret Life of Bees written by Sue Monk Kidd, and the song, “Oh Father” sung by Madonna. Lily, the protagonist of the book, is a thirteen year old girl living a life of abuse and torture. Lily lost her mother when she was very young and since then Lily has wanted to know more about her mother, Deborah. Similarly, the girl in “Oh Father” lost her mother and is mistreated, as…

attempts to integrate and equalize the country. This is not only the setting by which the novel The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd takes place but also one of the major reasons that the story came to be. The racism during this time period in the book is one of the major reasons that Lily breaks Rosleen out of jail. For my project I decided to bake cupcakes that represents the metaphorical “Perfect Life” that Lily Owens so desperately wants and tries to live in. The cupcakes are chocolate…

The Secret Life of Bees: Growing up Lily During adolescence you begin to mature or grow more. People grow through experiences and challenges. In the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd Lily also matured and grew up during the book. Three examples of how Lily matured and grew are becoming understanding, hard working and independence. “I turned my pillow over and over for the coolness, thinking about May and her wall and what the world had come to that a person needed something like that” (Pg 98…

Each chapter of Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees begins with an epigraph, a few lines taken from various books about bees. These are used for many reasons; to connect each chapter with the major motif of bees, to provide insights in to the events of each chapter, and to accentuate the ideas about women and mothers that resonate throughout the entire story. Chapter four begins by saying that “’Honeybees are social insects and live in colonies. Each colony is a family unit, comprising a…

When looking through book titles, somehow people’s eyes just jump to a specific title without any rhyme or reason. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd was the title that jumped out at me. I knew that there is no way that the book is actually about the lives of bees. I wanted to find out what it really meant. I read that it was set in South Carolina and was about a 14 year-old girl named Lily. So I thought that I could comprehend it easily from a voice of a girl around my age. I could relate…

The ending of "The Secret Life of Bees" was a fantastic ending, and it was fantastic because most, if not all of the loose ends of the story were all solved. To show all the resolved conflicts, the reader has to list the conflicts. One conflict was T Ray's return. The readers reading will and should anticipate when and if T Ray will return. Also, if he returns, will Lily have to leave. Another conflict was Lily and Rosaleen's charges, and whether if they will have to return, or will they be let…

In the novel, The Secret Life of Bees, the author makes me admire Lily the most. Since the beginning of the novel, she was very loving and curious. When she first saw the huge flock of bees flying above her in her room, her first response wasn’t to swat or kill the bees, but to watch them and try to figure why, how, and where the bees were flying to. She always treated everyone and everything with respect and care. When Rosaleen had just moved in, T. Ray was very abusive, mean, and very cruel to…
