Challenge Assignment


The novel and the movie the secret life of bees where alike and different in many ways, but here are just a few. In the movie the Daughters of Mary are in almost every chapter where in the movie they are barley mentioned. Also Towards the ending of the movie there is a moment where you feel bad for T.Ray; lily's dad, where in the book he is automatically known as a "villain" and there is no sympathy given to him. Lastly, in the book you see the growth between august and lily and it is more clear; where in the movie august becoming a mother figure to lily is very sudden. 

Although there are a lot of differences there are plenty of similarities as well. The connection of Rosaleen and Lily is both very strong in the movie and the book, it is very clear how close they are. Next,  I didn't accept june to be as bitter as she was in the book in the movie however she was until almost the end. Lastly, Mays death was equally traumatizing in the movie and the book. I cried and felt the pain her family and her friends where feeling.

I thought the book and the Novel The Secret Life of bees where very enjoyable, however i wished that they included more about her mother in the movie. I thought that it was proably a good idea to leave a lot of the Daughters of Mary out of the book movie because at times it would draw the readers attention away. Overall i would have to say that i liked the book better only because it have you the WHOLE idea of Lily's situation .

Democratic Party


Honestly i am not informed enough to be thinking about our next president of America. However from what i do know Obama is the better choice. I am not for War, i think the war is unnessary.
I Do not Beilive that we should be killing people of their country, they did not ask for our help all we are doing is killing idocent familys. Now that we are STILL in this war i beilive it is to hard just to walk away from it, and if we do we will get bombed again. I beilive this whole war could of been easily avoided.
The other day my family and i where watching tv when the statement every president we have had has said the same thing, but nothing has happend. Obama has said "we need change" several things, however we haven't heard what he wants to change and how.

Camille Balihadia<3


Camille isn't my best friend or my sister, she is so much more than that. We have been friends for 15 years, i don't think i could be where i am right now without her. This picture was taken on a road trip we go on with her 2 brothers and my 2 "brothers"(really close family friends) and their mom, peg. We go up the coast of California For about 16 days. We had just gotten In and Out, and of coarse being girls we had to take a picture. This shows that we have fun doing whatever it is, even it it is eating more than we can handle. This shows her fun personality and she honestly doesn't care what about thinks about her, Even if she does look like a chipmunk in this picture :)

Secret Life of Bees:Code


1.How accurate were your predictions?

My predictions are very accurate, the context clues from the back and the image of the book made my inferring a lot better. Also, i have read the book before this class :)

2.Which predictions were very accurate? Describe.

My predictions of what the book was going to be about was obviously very accurate, i knew the book was a coming of age story.

3.Which predictions were less accurate? What were the differences between what you predicted and what actually happened?

My memorize was kind of fuzzy towards the end of the novel so i predicted that T.ray would find lily and take her home, however lily gets to stay with august as she raised her as her daughter.
