lit circle letter #3

Dear Annabelle and Anna,

The third chunk of the book was really good I did not expect T-ray to let Lily stay or that June would end up marrying Neil. And a gain I cannot think of what to write about without summarizing and since there is really nothing to question and I did not annotate I guess I’ll just do another discussion question.

11. Project into the future. Does Lily ever see her father again? Does she become a beekeeper? A writer? What happens to Rosaleen? What happens to Lily and Zach? Who would Zach be today?

Well obviously I don’t know for sure one because I’m not the author and two because these are fictional characters but this is how I would imagine it. I think that one day when Lily is older she will go back and see her father again because it is not in her nature to forget about things and she is also very curious combine that with the fact that she still thinks her father loves her somewhere deep down I could not imagine her not going back to see what he’s doing and finding out whether he truly loves her or not. I also think Lily does become a bee keeper because it is in her character to seek praise and when she tends to the bees with August she sees that it makes her happy and once Lily inevitably leaves the pink house I think wherever she ends up she will want to keep a little piece of her mother figures with her. I do think Lily will continue to write I mean how could she not? With all the things floating around in her head waiting to burst out but I don’t think she will become a published author and that she is more likely to become a school teacher just like August and June were. I like to think Rosaleen stayed with the Boatwright sisters and was more of a stand in May and kept August company when June moved in with Neil and Lily moved out. I think Zach and Lily don’t end up together romantically but still stay very good friends because they are just too different and I think a small part of Lily wants to protect Zach even if it means giving him up. I don’t really understand what it means by “who would Zach be today”.
