Secret Life Of Bees Meaningful Questionnaire by Caleb Heslip https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix en-us 2021-11-08 15:26:01 UTC 2025-04-13 16:20:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Do you think race was portrayed realistically in The Secret Life of Bees? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875453533 In the novel, I think race was portrayed realistically based on how they treated people back then from what their race was. "That was when the dealer lifted the flashlight over his head, then down, smashing it into Rosaleen's forehead." PG. 35]]> 2021-11-08 15:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875453533 What do you think Sue Monk Kidd was saying about race in the novel? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875465236 She was trying to portray through out the novel that race shouldn't be what separates us. Everyone should be equal no matter what their race is. No one had the choice of what their race is so everyone should be equal.]]> 2021-11-08 15:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875465236 Do we all need a wailing wall, like May? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875489081 Maybe if we really want to express our feelings through writing them down. Though it would be good to have so we can express all of our feeling there and feel good after being there.]]> 2021-11-08 15:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875489081 Why do you think June was cold toward Lily? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875491213 At that time it seems like June wants Lily out of the house because of her skin color. This seems regular for the time of racism. "Why don't you just ask her point-blank what kind of trouble she's in?" - June    "Everything in time." - August     "But she's white August." - June" PG 87]]> 2021-11-08 15:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875491213 How would you describe August? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875493042 She is kind and she's the kind of person to give someone a chance no matter who they are. 
"Let's see if we can help her." PG 87
"But they're in some kind trouble and need a place to stay. Who's gonna take them in if we don't - a white girl and a Negro woman? Nobody around here." PG 86]]> 2021-11-08 15:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875493042 What compelled Rosaleen to spit on the three men's shoes? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875498203 We think she just got tired of the three men being so racist toward her that she didn't care what was going to happen after she poured the spit on the three men's shoes.]]> 2021-11-08 15:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875498203 What does it take for a person to stand up with conviction against brutalizing injustice? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875503349 It takes courage and bravery to stand up against brutalizing injustice. ]]> 2021-11-08 15:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875503349 What did you like best about Rosaleen? calebheslip98 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875504576 We like how she doesn't care about the consequences for her actions and she has the courage to do what she did in the beginning of the book.
"Coming alongside the men, Rosaleen lifted her snuff jug, which was filled with black spit, and calmly poured it across the tops of the men's shoes, moving her hand in little loops like she was writing her name - Rosaleen Daise - just the way she'd practiced." PG 32]]> 2021-11-08 15:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875504576 May built a wailing wall to help her come to terms with the pain she felt. Even though we dont have May's condition, do we also need "rituals," like wailing walls, to help us deal with our grief and suffering? rafaelgonzalez89 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875507161 Yes, sometimes we all need to do something like our own tradition to calm us down from all the grief and suffering. ]]> 2021-11-08 15:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875507161 Who was our favorite sister? rafaelgonzalez89 https://padlet.com/calebheslip98/qee310dvgnl8ozix/wish/1875515090 Our favorite sister was May because she was kind to them and welcoming when she arrived at the destination. She also saw that Rosaleen was injured and tried to help her out. 
"May came in with witch hazel and cotton balls and began to clean up Rosaleen's stitches." PG 83
