SECRETS AND SECRET LIVES

Hai semua! Today is the most stressed day ever for the two of us, mostly Iqbal. However, we are still in the mood to educate you guys on one of the themes from the novel the secret life of bees (obviously) which is the secrets and secret lives.

As we can see from the title itself, theres a lot of secrets from each of the character including the bees themselves. 

Firstly, from Lily's mother herself (Deborah Owen), she had a big secret during her lifetime. She ran from T Ray to her friend's house, August, because she was literally abused by her husband. Her husband start hated her and began to be mean with her although they already have a child named Lily. Deborah secretly ran to the pink house as she couldnt bear the pain that she gone through. She was so stress and fucked up that she decided to do so. She left Lily and her husband at home. After 3 months, she came back to pack her things and also to bring Lily with her to move away from the mean T Ray. Unfortunately she accidently got killed. 

The second one, we can see from Lily herself from the first moment she arrived in front of the Boatright's house. She told the calender sisters that she ran away from her house with her maid Rosaleen as she didnt want to be sent to a home since her father died in a tractor accident. We can see this evidence from the page 92.  The truth is she was actually looking for the truth about her mother's life.

Thirdly, 'the secret life of bees' can be seen in this novel on page 184. Every bees have their own role to play. For example, the nest builder were the group that drew the hexagon comb. Field bees were the one with good navigation skills, and tireless heart, going out together nectra and pollen. Martician bees rake the dead bees out of the hive and keep everything on the clean side. Nurse bees had a gift for nurturing and they feed all the babies. And of course there's the queen and the attendants. The attendants feed, bathe and keep whatever the queen needed while she lays eggs.

What can we learn from the theme is that surely honesty is the best policy. Although being a secretive person will save you, but it will only last for a moment and the truth will come out sooner or later.

Okay, thats all guys. We are only joking about all the unnecessary phrases (like seriously) and please dont take it too seriously. Have a nice day ahead and keep on smiling :)
