When Lily went off to college she became obsessed with her image and began experimenting with Anorexia and Bulimia in order to feel better about herself. She began attending lots of different parties on campus and continued to try and find comfort in men. She ended up in a relationship with a very abusive man who would often beat Lily, talk badly to her, and eventually led to sexual assaults.

Meeting the Boatwright’s, she finally is surrounded by the kind of love and affection she so desperately needed.

    Early in the novel, Lily states, “Lying on the cot in the honey house, though, all I could think was August is so intelligent, so cultured, and I was surprised by this. That’s what let me know I had some prejudice buried inside me”. And “I thought [colored women] could be smart, but not as smart as me, me being white” (78). By these comments, Lily shows racial bias by associating intelligence and sophistication, with skin color. However, by the end of the novel Lily becomes color blind. “There was no difference between my piss and June’s. That’s what I thought when I looked at the dark circle on the ground. Piss was piss” (88). Through her relationships with August and Zach, Lily learns that skin color is neither an indicator of intelligence, nor of worth. Lily says, “It would have been better if God had deleted skin color altogether” (155). Lastly, Lily tells how she and her friend sit with Zach at school, despite being called “nigger lover” for doing so. Lily shows that she is developing the self-confidence to stand up to discrimination by repudiating the values of her…

    Facts: Kyle John Kelbel was convicted of first-degree murder, past pattern of child abuse, in violation of Minnesota state statute section 609.185(5) and second-degree murder, in violation of Minnesota statute 609.19, subdivision 2(1). He was sentenced to life in prison for the death of Kailyn Marie Montgomery. Kelbel appealed, and argued that the district court failed to instruct the jury that it must find that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the acts that constituted the past pattern of child abuse and he also argued that the evidence against him was insufficient to prove past pattern of child abuse against Kailyn. Kelbel testified that the head injury of Kailyn was inflicted by a cup thrown at her head by step brother Evan. Kelbel also testified that other injuries found on Kailyn were caused by Evan and that he is "rough" with her. Medical examiners ran an autopsy on Kailyn's body and determined that the injuries had been caused by blunt trauma and force caused by a knee or fist. Medical examiners testified that the injuries caused could not have been caused by a cup thrown at her head or by an accidental fall down the stairs. Kailyn's mother, Lindsey, also testified that Kailyn had previous injuries that she became concerned with. Upon retrieving a search warrant, police entered Lindsey's home to find further evidence. Police found a dent in the wall near Kailyn's bed. After Kelbel was eventually found guilty of the charges brought, Kelbel filed a motion for a judgement of aquittal and for a new trial on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. The district court denied the motion.…
