The thought of running away.

     Hello everyone, it's me Iqbal. As we all know from the novel Secret Life of Bees, Lily Owens ran away from her house after she realized that she'd to leave her father, T-Ray for some reasons. She'd been through all kinds of experiences after that thanked to her father.

     To me this whole idea of running away from home portrays Lily as a brave girl. She was just fourteen years old when she decided to run away and left her dad for good. She had never been to any places alone. Once she followed Rosaleen to Sylvan town on her birthday as Rosaleen wanted to register herself to vote. She was aware that T-Ray was a very stern man and if she by any chance got caught by him in the midst of runaway, she would be punished even harder than the Martha Whites punishment. 

     I also think it manifest Lily as a very smart girl. She was not just blindly ran away from home. She had all of the plans visible inside her head. She knew what she was going to do after escaped from the peach farm -which was freed Rosaleen from the prison after Rosaleen got caught earlier that day for disturbing the peace. Lily used her clever mind to come up with a plan to trick the nurse and the officer to create a diversion so that she can saved Rosaleen which was being admitted into one of the room in the hospital. She also knew exactly where she and Rosaleen would be headed to after successfully freed from the hospital -which was Tiburon. 

     If I were Lily I would've done the same thing as her which is running away from home. We all know that the reasons behind her plan to run away from her father were the sound of a voice inside her head that was telling her to run and the longing to know more about her late mother and the mystery behind the black Mary.

      I once had this kind of stupid feeling that to me, it needed me to run away from home as I was so overpowered by all kinds of emotions at that time. It was all because of a mistake I'd done before (which I can't remember ;p) when i was young. At that time, the only thing I could thought of was to run away from the problem that I'd caused. But thankfully the taught of ran away from home suddenly disappeared from my head and I was willingly confront with my parents and let my ears faced the music. As a wise man once said “If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”  Things become so much better after I admited my mistake and apologised to my parents. I then learned that no matter how much you are trying to escape from a problem, it will somehow keeps chasing you relentlessly untill you finally solve it. I think thats all for now. See you soon. bye
