Beck’s presence in her sister’s home limits her capabilities and she finds herself unable to take action of any sort. Additionally, she views Captain Beck as a personal enemy as he is the only German soldier she has ever

Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first. These character are just a few of the many that entail the plot, and make them relatable. Although, like I said Sue Monk Kidd has developed many character that we can relate to, I believe I relate to Lily Owens the most in “The Secret Life of Bees.”

Capote shows us how the events of the book affected the mental state of Alvin Dewey. "Hickock and Smith! But the moment of recognition was mutual. Those boys smelled danger. Feet first, they crashed through the Trail Room's plate-glass window, and with Duntz and Dewey leaping after them, sped along Main Street, past Palmer Jewelry, Norris Drugs, the Garden Cafe, then around the corner and down to the depot and in and out, hide-and-seek, among a congregation of white grain-storage towers. Dewey drew a pistol, and so did Duntz, but as they took aim, the supernatural intervened. Abruptly, mysteriously (it was like a dream!) (196). "The next thing was, suddenly Alvin had hold of me, he was hugging me, and I said, 'Alvin Dewey, have you lost your

Curt Flood is a very significant figure, on and off the field. His work to end MLB conflicts, specifically the reserve clause, was settled over a long, and rather difficult compromise. Flood's fight is said to be "devastating, and worth more than $100,000 a year." That monetary amount was his salary he was willing to give up to continue to fight for what would soon end in a compromise in a significant sports conflict. This wasn't the only thing Flood lost either. Flood quotes "I lost money, coaching jobs, and a shot at the Hall of Fame." This represents how much he was willing to give up, as Flood also quotes "I'm a human being I'm not a piece of property. I am not a consignment of goods." As Curt Flood says this, he makes a comparison with

In the beginning of the novel, Cole Mathews behaves cruelly when he becomes emotional. For example, when the narrative begins, we learn that he is in serious trouble for beating a kid named Peter Driscal up, because Peter divulged the truth about the boy robbing a hardware store. Later on, our main character is sitting in a detention cell as a consequence of his actions and becomes exasperated over not getting what he wants. Hence, he throws an outburst of violence. “[Cole’s] rage ignited. [He] jumped to his feet and stormed across the cell. He tipped over his metal-framed bed and started hitting the wall harder and harder. Soon blood from his scraped knuckles smeared the concrete.” (Mikaelsen 25). During those episodes, the protagonist and oddly enough the antagonist becomes very displeased, but also very scared and sad.

At times there are people who will say their belief is one thing, when in reality it is another just to avoid conflict within a community. An example that portrayed this in the book also included the Cunningham’s. Walter Cunningham Sr., was known as a very hard worker. He would never receive something if he wasn’t sure he’d be able to pay it back, he’d pay whomever it was with whatever he had, which is why he and his family were respected.
