For this novel this theme fits it quiet well because Lily has to face reality and the truth about what has happened in her life.]]> 2022-12-14 18:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420975875 https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420975984 Racism
One reason the book is racist is that every time a white person sees Lilly with the sisters and Rosaline. She gets judged for being with black people. ]]> 2022-12-14 18:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420975984 https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420977734 I think that the book was about maternity. Lily had to grow up without her mom because she killed her. Throughout the whole book she's trying to please her mom and find out what happens to her. ]]> 2022-12-14 18:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420977734 bmurray73 https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420978074 Racism is a good theme for this book because it shows what some black people had to go through back then, getting falsely  accused or getting in trouble for the smallest things ]]> 2022-12-14 18:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420978074 aduis https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420978409 (maternity) Lily had to grow up with out a mother figure in her life.

This theme is a good theme for this novel because of August. August for this time zone is a very strong independent black women. She has her own business, religion, house and family. She speaks her opinion and does whats best for others which is a very strong thing for a black women to do in this time zone. ]]> 2022-12-14 18:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420979483 https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420979897 The book was also about racism because Rosaleen went to vote but got thrown into jail.

It also had it with Lily staying with black people. It had all the colored people on a lower level just cause of their skin.]]> 2022-12-14 18:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420981617 jahajek https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420981971 Death played a major role in SLoB. In the beginning May was sad because her sister had died previously and she never got over it. Eventually May also died and it hit everyone hard. Lily's mother died when she was super young and Lily struggled about that growing up.]]> 2022-12-14 18:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420981971 aduis https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420982909 Racism was a huge thing in this book. First of all Rosaleen was put in jail for standing her own ground. Lily was judged by others because she was staying with the Boatright sisters because they were black. Such as when Lily's father saw her staying with black people he was not impressed. ]]> 2022-12-14 18:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420982909 https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420983198 DEATH/SUICIDE
In the book death is a big thing that happens because Lily's mother died and that effected Lily a lot. Later in the book May killed herself because of life problems and we learned about April killing herself earlier in the book so it was the cause to most of the effects in the book.]]> 2022-12-14 18:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420983198 mparde https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420984891 Love was a big part of this book. First it was about how little T-Ray loved Lily. It also had the love of June and Neil. Lily and Zach had also fallen in love and told the future to each other.

In the book, when Rosaleen is going to register to vote, she was beaten up because she is black. In the end, she didn’t manage to vote until later in the story. Another theme was religion. The sisters and all the other people had made their religion about the black mary. They touched the red heart on her chest to get the strength and power to continue.]]> 2022-12-14 19:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pkostal/frqrhl5yweorc14g/wish/2420992763
