Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first. These character are just a few of the many that entail the plot, and make them relatable. Although, like I said Sue Monk Kidd has developed many character that we can relate to, I believe I relate to Lily Owens the most in “The Secret Life of Bees.”

Bronxwood is notorious for its drug abuse and criminal charges, so Ty, as referred to in the book, has troubles trying to look out for his family and friends. This book is quite the unique and one of the more straight-forward books out there. It consists of a lot of sex, profanity, fights, drug abuse, and alcohol abuse. I know most of these parts make for a unique plot, but they really catch you off guard and proceed to keep you engaged.

Brain slowly learns and progresses until he is on top of the food chain. Through the novel, Brian slowly gets stronger physically and mentally, as he rises through the foodchain.

Do you think you would survive by yourself in the middle of the woods for 54 days? The question that I asked you is because of the novel Hatchet and this novel is written by Gary Paulsen. Out of all of the things in the story that stood out to me was the AHA moments because I think they help brian the most.

One of the ways Lee shows that people are essentially good is through the people

Many people in the army feel guilty. They regret all the murders. They see the people they killed everywhere. In their dreams, outside, shadows, they are forever haunted with the faces of the dead. Christopher Lane, a boy with a broken background, is haunted by the killed. After accidentally murdering Mortimer Genever, (vowing to get his revenge) his twin brother Ernest runs away. Showing great determination, hopefulness, and honesty, Chris tracks Ernest down, to apologize for the mistaken murder.

In the novel Hatchet, Gary Paulsen portrays many different scenes that are significant to the story. Near the middle of the story Brian is all alone in the wilderness where he has to find food and water to try to survive the challenges he is facing while being all alone. While out looking for food comes across a bear “ It was black, with a cinnamon-colored nose, not twenty feet from him and big” (Paulsen 29). The encounter with the bear is significant because the reader can see that not only does the character have to worry about food, he has to worry about the animals in the forest with him.

Many events took place during the Mary Day celebration and each of the characters contributes differently to the celebration. To begin with, Neil for the umpteenth time asks June to marry her and she finally says yes. On page 222 Neil says to June "I came over here planning to ask you, for the hundredth time, to marry me'… 'All right,' she said. ' Let's get married.' " This quote indicates that June is finally going to get married to Neil after such a long wait.

The biggest belief that Chris McCandless has is that trust is essential to have a relationship with someone. This idea became clear to me in chapter twelve when I saw the quote that McCandless had highlighted in his book saying, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry,” and then the author mentions that McCandless wrote the word “truth” at the top of the page (page 117). From the fact that McCandless wrote and highlighted these words means that the quote is important, and the word truth was significant to him. Therefore, I can see that McCandless agrees with this quote and values truth more than any amount of money or love. Truth is something obviously something McCandless cant live without and I think this is because of his relationship with his dad. McCandless’s father wasn’t truthful with his family in chapter twelve when the author said, “Long after falling in love with Billie, long after she gave birth to Chris, Walt continued his relationship with Marcia in secret, dividing his time between two households” (page 121). In this quote we can see that

In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, a thirteen year old boy named Brian is flying in a plane to visit his father, when the pilot has a heart attack and the plane crashes. Brian survives the crash and is forced to live in the wilderness of the Canadian forest. Throughout this book, the author, Gary Paulsen, shows time and time again that no matter how rough things get, never give up. “He ripped at it until it released… somehow he pulled himself out” (29). This is an example from the beginning of the story from when Brian crash landed in a lake and tore himself out.
