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 .
