Hello guys! It has
been a while since the last time I update this blog. I was so 'buzy' with other
assignments (for most of the time). For this time around, this blog entry is
basically about my personal comment and reflection about The Secret Life of
Bees novel. Enjoy your reading guys.
Let’s start with
what I learned from the novel. Pretty much there are a lot of things that I
learned from the novel. For example, we should not be so stereotypical and
racist towards each other, we should be brave enough to take the risks and
explore new opportunities and we should convey our love to each other. Well,
all those moral values are the cliché ones. For me, the best thing I learned
from the novel is that we should make use of things in our surroundings as a
catalyst to enhance our motivation to achieve our dreams. What really triggered
me to come into this moral value is the way Zach cope when he was jailed. He
had this vengeful interest in race relations and civil rights that actually
increased his eager to be more motivated on his dream to become a lawyer. For
other cases, maybe we can use our hobbies that are related to our dreams as a
motivation or we can use the fact that we love our parents and we want them to
feel proud when we succeed.
Ok next is the
best part of the novel based on my reading. It’s the main character, Lily. It’s
about how she developed her self-identity. The writer pictured her sufferings
at the beginning of the novel and that actually triggered readers to sympathize
her and to be curious on how is she going to solve all those sufferings. As the
story goes on, the writer conveyed how she slowly discovered the secrets of her
mother as she explored new things and took the risks of running away from her father, T.
Ray. She end up having a new life full of love with Rosaleen and the calendar sisters. The part that I don’t really like about the novel is the story. For me, I
think it just lacks the sense of thrill and suspense. The story is a bit too
linear.
I would recommend
this novel to others because I think for overall, this novel is quite good. It
was worth my time to actually read it (even though I don’t really like reading
novels). This novel has lots of moral values and it reminds us on how bad the
situation was back in the sixties when it comes to racism. The fact that the
characters in the novel crossed the boundary of racism mentalities of the
people at that time is really interesting. I guess the saying “love has no
boundary” is true after all. So, that’s all from me for this entry, and I hope
u guys enjoyed reading it. Probably u want to share your thoughts or you want
to correct my mistakes about the novel, so don’t forget to put your comments
down below. Have a blessed life guys.
