“At night I would lie in bed and watch the show, how bees squeezed through the cracks of my bedroom wall and flew circles around the room, making that propeller sound, a high-pitched zzzzzz that hummed along my skin. I watched their wings shining like bits of chrome in the dark and felt the longing build in my chest. The way those bees flew, not even looking for a flower, just flying for the feel of the wind, split my heart down its seam.”
That quote makes me feel imagery in this story because of the detail she gives when she talks abou them and the compassion that she has for them at night. With that quote you can see how much Lily cares about the only thing that is consisent in her life. Also, when Lily lets the bees out of the jar, she exclaims the reason she lets the bees out, she wants them to be free. It has only been the first coulpe chapters but I can already forsee some more connections throughout the story with Lily and the bees.
What is the significance of bees?
ReplyDeleteThe significance of the bees would have to be Lily and her freedome, once Lilys bees flee from the jar she has a religious moment where she realizes she must leave.
