The Secret life of bees essential questions

Please read explanation!

Explanation:

"The secret life of Bees" is one of the greatest books you can read in the summer for that  pesky school assignment! Ever since I have read it, it never left my heart completely! Great stories always have awesome questions to go along with them!

I am uncertain of how many questions to write, so I'll write 3. If you need more, just ask!

I will write 2 quick sentenced questions and 1 essay question.

1.) How do bees symbolize lily's mother in the novel, "The Secret life of Bees"?

2.) Why does Lily feel the need to carry around mouse bones with her. What do they symbolize?

3.)How does the concept of race change for Lily as the novel progresses to the near end? Write a paragraph.

Hope that helped!

the answer should be b.

explanation:

it should be b because she researched before writing so it would be in past tense. "the author researches her subject before she had written the first draft.
