Secret Life of Bees Extra Credit

After I watched the movie I realized how different the movie and book were. One thing that was different was in the book Lily's hair was black but in the movie it was blonde. Lily's mom's hair was also black in the book but in the movie it was blonde like Lily's in the movie.
In the movie there was no dog and T. Ray had a dog in the book that Lily hated. The name of the dog was snout and it seemed to really hate Lily and Lily really hates the dog back. The dog never gets in trouble but Lily seems to always get in trouble.
They never showed the scene were Lily called T. Ray at the lawyers office and that was a really important part of the book/movie plus it made more scense if they had done it that way in stead of just T. Ray finding the hole in the map where Lily had marked Turban on her map.
A thing I liked about the book was the scenes were fun to imagine in my head. One scene for example was when Lily first met the Boatwrights and was first describing the looks of the house. Another scene was the honey house because I could just see that delicious honey and that made me really hungry.
I really liked how the whale pin looked because it just looked so pretty and made me want to wear it. How I imagined it was the water coming from the spout was diamond and the whale was sapphire and the whale's eye was amethyst and it was really pretty how I had imagined it.
I also liked how they described the purple honey it just sounded so good and made me really hungry. Just reading about the purple honey made me want Halloween to come even sooner so I could have something sweet to eat.
A thing I liked about the movie was Zach. I have to admit that he was kind of cute and them him having a crush on Lily just made me jealous. I also think that other girls though that he was cute too.
Another thing that I liked about the movie was the house because I really like that kind of pink. It looked really cool and it was great because it made May really happy.
One other thing that I liked about the movie was May herself. I just loved May and she was just one of my favorite characters. It just made me really sad when May died and I cried a lot during that scene.
I really enjoyed reading the book and watching the movie but I recommend reading the book before watching the movie.
