Personal Narrative: The Stumped Bees
The Stumped Bees When I was in first grade my entire class went on a field trip to Bee City Honeybee Farm, Petting Zoo, and Nature Center. On that field trip, we learned a lot about bees, (though now that I’m older, I recall just about one thing from that entire trip) and other animals. This particular event happened during lunch time. Some of my classmates had finished eating, and one in particular, Nick, had decided to play with some of his friends around a tree stump. Nick, being the troublemaker that he was, decided to mess around with the tree stump itself. He kicked it, and his buddies laughed. They all started to mess around with it. Well, unknown to Nick and his friends, there was a bee’s nest in there. As fate would have it, them

    Personal Narrative-La Lady Bugs

    I can speak in front of an audience about Best Buddies, or be put on the spot and not flinch. I can go on a mission trip across the world, see poverty, anguish and violence yet not be afraid. I can learn to get along with my peers despite very strong contradictions in our ethics and styles. I can watch late night episodes of criminal minds and stay home alone with not an ounce of fear. But, there is one thing that makes shivers go up my body, tears stream down my face and my whole body just freeze.…

    Sue M. Kidd's The Secret Life Of Bees

    She reminded me that the world was really one big bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don’t be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don’t be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don’t swat. Don’t even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee’s temper. Act like you know what you’re doing, even if you don’t. Above all, send the bees love, every little thing wants to be loved.” August explains to Lily that bees have a secret life, and people fail to realize how difficult their life really is. Lily realizes how a bee and her are so much alike. When bees do not have a queen they cannot function. Like Lily who greatly misses her mother, little did she know you can introduce a new queen to the hive. Lily’s new ‘queens’ were the Boatright sisters and Rosaleen. She found people who could properly love her, the bees showed Lily how adjusting to a different environment can greatly impact her life for the better.…

    Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life Of Bees

    For the past month I have been engaging in a literature circle where my group and I have been reading and analyzing the book The Secret Life of Bees. The author Sue Monk Kidd conveyed the message that family is not defined by blood. In the beginning of the book Lily thought that she can only find a mother and daughter bond from her biological mother. She was extremely persistent and her one goal was to learn more about her mother and find out what life would have been like if her mother was still alive. She constantly feels her mother's absence and feels as though no one besides her real mother can fill this whole. As the story progresses we see Lily’s ideas change as she realizes that motherhood is much more than a biological relationship. She opens her heart to the people who love her and accepts them as her own mother-figures. Lily’s views…

    The Secret Life of Bees: Lily's Understanding of Race

    Many times throughout a person’s life their opinions are always changing; as we grow and develop our ideas, our beliefs mature as well.

At first she sees race as a political issue. Then, toward the middle of the book she notices that African-Americans are not the only ones hurt by racism. Lastly, at the end of the book Lily does not even mind what someone’s race is and just is unconcerned with race.…

    Bees and Pear Trees: Janie’s Unchanging Concept of Love

    Love is different for each and every person. For some, it comes easy and happens early in life. For others, such as Janie in Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, it happened much later in life after two unsuccessful marriages. Janie’s grandmother, Nanny raised Janie to be attracted to financial security and physical protection instead of seeking love. Nanny continually emphasized that love was something that was bound to happen after those needs were met; even though Nanny never married. Janie formulates her ideal of love while sitting under a pear tree as a teenager; one that fulfilled her intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically. She was then informed that she was to have an arranged marriage to an older man, Logan Killicks, who offered the very security and protection Nanny emphasized. After the marriage failed, looking for change, Janie ran off and married an ambitious, rich and unromantic man named Joe Sparks. Her marriage to Joe quickly became monotonous, and soon enough, Joe died of kidney failure. Later in the novel, Janie meets a poor, young and lovable man named Vergible “Tea Cake” Woods. Tea Cake surpasses her ideal of love. Janie’s view on love did not change throughout the course of the novel; instead her first two marriages engrained her wishes and desires further; all of which were fulfilled in her marriage to Tea Cake.…

    Bb Guns Research Paper

    It was a boring summer day. My cousin Henry, Jake, and myself decided to go shoot BB guns at the old Nike site, which was now a park. We climbed up to the top of the abandoned radar tower with our BB guns and pretending to be sharp shooters, we shot the BB guns at three cans we lined up on the ground. Some kids from the neighborhood adjacent to ours came to the same park with fireworks. We climbed down to meet them. They shared their fireworks with us and we shared our BB guns with them. We were having a blast throwing the bottle rockets and fire crackers off the tower. We giggled at the pop which echoed around the park. The neighbors, whose houses backed up to the park, did not enjoy our early fourth of July show. A few minutes later we saw…

    Personal Narrative: My Yellow Bird Moment

    It is a known fact that well into the twentieth century, coal miners would bring canaries with them into the tunnels. However, the canaries were not for companionship; they were to warn the miners of possible toxic fumes and suffocation risks, which would inevitably lead to death if they didn’t leave the tunnels immediately. I believe everyone has their own “yellow bird” moment. Some people experience their moment late in life, but I was fortunate enough to have mine early enough to save my future. My yellow bird moment came after years of unjustified feelings of failure and unhappiness, but as I’ve been growing older and discovering more and more about myself and the world around me, I’ve learned that my life is my story and I have to be my…
