***The Secret Life Of Bees
How would you describe Lily and Zach’s relationship? What drew them together? Did you root for them to be together? <3
Lily and Zach lived in a time with a lot of racial discrimination. The problem was that they wanted to be together but at the time it was against the law for a black man to be with a white woman. Even though the law was racist Lily never judged anyone by there color. Lily and Zach would always see each other at the honey house where they would work together. Lily noticed Zach’s “one sided dimple” and his genuine love of bees. (Pg: 128) Lily loved that he was gentle, kind, and softhearted. She even said “every time I look at him I got hot funny feeling that circulated from my waste to my kneecaps.” (Pg: 128). Lily would love any time with Zach. The moment that I personally loved was when they “stood on the bank and watched the moving pockets of light, letting the water swell up around us.” (Pg: 231). “We were still holding hands and I felt his fingers tighten around mine.” (Pg: 229). Zach told Lily, “I think about you all the time and I care about you too” (pg: 231). I noticed that Zach was open minded because of the following, “ we cant be together now Lily, one day after I become somebody, I’m going to find you, and well be together.” (Pg: 231). As you may notice I always wanted Zach and Lily to be together, hoping that one-day they did get to be together as they planned.
