Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees and Rascal Flatts "I'm Movin' On", both adequately demonstrate that a childhood of guilt can result in difficulty forgiving oneself and others. Overcoming inner conflicts as well as finding a place of belonging and contentment is a result that comes with self-forgiveness. The Secret Life of Bees is a story of a young girl named Lily Owens who, throughout the novel, faces immense obstacles. This novel focuses on the blurred memory Lily has of the death of her mother. In the novel, the reader learns that Lily was only a young child during the death of her mother and her emotionally abusive father, T. Ray, often tells her that this death was all her fault. T. Ray implements the idea that Lily was the one to who had accidentally shot her mother with a gun which causes her to grow up living with the guilt and shame of this traumatic event that took a very valuable life from her. As the plot intensifies, Lily and her strong-willed black caretaker, Rosaleen, decide to escape T. Rays sadistic tendencies and abusive behavior. After deciding to run away from T. Ray, Lily soon finds the Boatwright sisters who had a strong connection with Lily's mother before she died. While meeting the Boatwright sisters, Lily says, "I felt like she knew what a lying, murdering, hating person I really was. How I hated T. Ray, and the girls at school, but mostly myself for taking away my mother" (Kidd 71). This quote shows the destructive effect of being blamed

You should never give up, and always push yourself to be the best. Striving to be better than you already are is the only way to improve yourself. I expect a lot from myself in order to maintain my positive attitude and outstanding character and citizenship as I grow older and am starting to be a more active participant in my

A saying i've kept to myself is to get back up when knocked down. This saying doesn’t just stand for getting up when literally knocked down but can keep a deeper meaning than what it says as for example being knocked down by a difficult obstacle to overcome and getting up to find a way to get past it and achieving it. Some people may not see this as something important but they don’t think about how getting up after knocked down can be something that can or would have been like a positive outcome into their life and how they are given two choices when knocked down which is to stay down or get back up and continue going forward.

Hall of fame baseball player, Babe Ruth, once said, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Throughout my involvement and participation in baseball, I have always kept this quote in the back of my head just to remind myself to keep grinding and stay committed when things get hard. Baseball has taught me, and even my family, valuable life lessons over the course of the last several years.

“Bees don’t think about what is impossible. That’s why we can fly when everyone says we shouldn’t be able to” (The Bee Movie, 2007). One of the things that confines creative thinking is the belief that a system or structure or current way of doing things creates boundaries that should not/ought not to be crossed. That is similar to a non-permeable border – nothing from one side crosses to the other side. This non-porous thinking affects ideas, values, change and behavior to an extent that one becomes stagnant and dormant almost to the point of apathy.

“You try, you fail, you try, you fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying,” ~ madame Leota. When someone stops trying and quits, they set himself/herself up for failure in life. They become more accepting of stopping before they finish their goal. And when they have a huge project and decide not to do it, they get penalized because of it. And even though a person loses they can just as easily try

Pivotal Moment “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.” This quote from Norman Cousins speaks to the truth about what Lily experiences and how she lives her life with the burden of killing her Mom. In the novel Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd Lily goes through hardship of killing her mother and the absences of love. It is not till she receives her Mother belongings that she truly changes and experiences this coming of age moment.

Doesn’t giving up mean a person can’t fail? I believe that if someone gives up they can’t succeed. If they hadn’t given up, think about all the accomplishments they could have earned

The Bee Movie is a film that shows the never ending struggle between good and evil. After Barry Benson leaves the hive and begins to talk to humans, he sees that the humans have been harvesting and eating honey without the bees’ knowledge. He finds out that bee farms exist and their only purpose is to make bees work and to take the honey from them; from Barry’s eyes humans are grossly mistreating the bees. When he first gets to the farm, Barry overhears two beekeepers talking: “They make the honey and we make the money” (Hickner, Bee Movie). The bees work extremely hard to make honey, so Barry is appalled that humans are greedily taking their entire life’s work. Because of this, Barry decides to file a lawsuit against all humans. The case is set up in a way that presents the humans as bullies and the bees as defenseless, harmless creatures. As Barry explains in his opening statement, the honey companies are “exploiting tiny helpless bees,” and back in the hive bee news anchors tell the public that humans are “packing [honey] and profiting from it illegally” (Hickner, Bee Movie). It becomes very clear that humans are evil and bees are inherently good. Also, during the trial, Ray Liotta suggests that “someone just step on [Barry] and [the people involved in the lawsuit] could all go home,” proving that humans do not care about bees (Hickner, Bee Movie). The theme of good versus evil is supported through the fact that the bees use honey, one of the movies motifs, for everything. They use it as antenna gel, soap, toothpaste, food, and they even fill pools with it; honey is an integral part of their daily life. It is everything they know and humans are taking it without their consent. As soon as bees are eligible, they start to make honey and they work until they die. Honey is literally their life’s work and the bees want a say in who gets to use it.
