"Lily your jar is open".From Chapter 2.Thats a phrase that represents how the bees that was in her jar had freedom when it opened. It is also a sign saying that it was her advantage to leave.
ReplyDeleteThe paper clipping of The Black Virgin Mary that Lily has can be a symbol. It represents Lily's mother because it once belonged to her and has a certain mystery to it that could connect Lily to more of who her mom was. It also represents the fact that the Virgin Mary could've been any color. It doesn't make her any more or less of what the bible claims her to be.

ReplyDeleteOne symbol could be the bees in the jar that Lily commanded to leave ,but yet they stayed. After Rosaleen went to jail Lily felt trapped and like she was the bee in the jar, she felt trapped.
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 2, Lily has a picture of a black Virgin Mary from her mother's belongings. This symbolizes a sign to finding her mom. On the back of the picture Tiburon, SC is written and its her way of being connected to her mother in some way since she knows where she was at some point in her life. For Lily, this picture is a symbol of hope to find out about her mother and get away frrom T. Ray.

ReplyDeleteIn the first chapter when they intruduce Rosaleen in the story, she's symbolize as a mother figure for lily. How she cuts in and protects lily from T-ray when he was yelling at her, just like a mother would do.
ReplyDeleteAnother symbol was in chapter 2, when she was yellin at her father saying that she isnt scared of him anymore.This shows that she really hates him and shes hardley not scared of him anymore.Also she had doubts about what t ray was saying about her mother that she is one the one to blame, this shows that she really hates him.
ReplyDelete"...your jar is open"; Chapter 2. This symbol means that opportunity is there waiting on whomever destins to grab. It'll be there waiting on you, if that's what you are after. This symbolizes a butterfly before full growth. Metamorphosis is over with and that caterpillar can now go and be a butterfly that it has prepared itself for. Comparibly, Lily can now be free and be the woman that she has been preparing herself to be.
ReplyDeletewhen lily and rosaleen was walking though town rosaleen was disrespected by the white man.when she poured the spit on the white man shoes she didn't feel bad but she had to do something.
ReplyDeleteWhen the jar opened and the voice said Lily your jar is open that was the symbol in chapter 2. That symbolized that it was time for her to set herself free from T.Ray and go on with her life. It also set apart in a way for her to go help Rosaleen to also get set free.

ReplyDeleteIn Chapter 2 when the voice said "Lily your jar is open" this symoblizes freeing herself from T-Ray. She did this because she was tired of being abused by him or being killed by him later on.
ReplyDeleteOne symbol is when Lily open the jar to let the bees free. But the bees stayed in the jar chapeter 1. That sybolized, there is a way out but she dont wont to lave the house.
ReplyDeleteThe symbol in chapter 2 is when the voice said Lily your jar is open symbolizes that the bees are free and have the freedom to go where ever they desire.
ReplyDeleteWhen T-Ray told Lily to go up stairs and wait for her punishment, Lily said under her breath "You dont scare me" as he was walking away. T-ray came back and asked her what she said. She said at the top of her voice "YOU DONT SCARE ME!" This is a symbol becuase Lily is standing up against her father. Over the past years T-Ray as struck fear into Liy's heart and that day, she finally stood up against him.

ReplyDelete" Lily your jar is open " that symbolizes that she no longer feel trapped in her own mind and when the lid opened it freed her.
ReplyDeleteIn chapter one when rosaleen was standing up for lily she was telling T Ray “you ain’t touching that chick” after that she said that his boots whispered uncle all the way down the hall . to me this meant that he was mad and that his boots were squeaking I think I don’t know .
ReplyDeleteIn chapter one when rosaleen was standing up for lily she was telling T Ray “you ain’t touching that chick” after that she said that his boots whispered uncle all the way down the hall . to me this meant that he was mad and that his boots were squeaking I think I don’t know .
ReplyDelete"His boots whispered uncle all the way down the hall". When T.Ray threaten to boil the chick cause it left droppings in the house but Rosaleen told him that he wasn't going do that so left.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Rosaleen is a symbol as lilys mother figure. Though Rasaleen is not trying to take the place of her actual mother, she is always their caring for her and helping her out when she needs it, and though lily and rosallen are from two different worlds, they both each share a connection as if they were mother and daughter. Lily also know that Rosaleen could never replace her real mother, but she relies on her as her backbone to keep things in her home balanced. Therefore, Rosallen can be looked at as a symbol in lilys life.
ReplyDeleteFrom chapter 2, the voice that told Lily your jar is open symbolizes that all the abuse that was done to her has finaly came to an end. That this was the time for her live her thats never had.
ReplyDelete"Lily your jar is open" That symbolized that She could go and get on with her life.Her life away from TRay
ReplyDeleteWhen Lily was laying in bed and the bees surrounded her. As soon as she brought T.Ray in to the room the bees were gone.It symbolized that something was going to happen in her life that was for her and only for her. Lily use to kneel on grit symbolized discipline and respect for authority.
ReplyDeleteLily found a picture of the Black Virgin Mary with the words Tiburon, SC written on the back. She found it in some of her mother’s old belongings. On the back of the picture was Tiburon which made her thinking it was a symbol to connect her with her mother. So she followed that symbol and went to Tiburon to find her mother.

ReplyDeleteLily your jar is open symbolized that she was able to get out and do what ever she put her mind to. It symbolize her being able to do anything with out T-Ray's help she's no longer has to trap her feelings.

ReplyDeleteSymbol from Chapter 2
ReplyDelete“Lily Melissa Owens, your jar is open.” At one point she kept some bees in a jar for too long. She turned the jar on its side to let the bees know that they were free. In this phrase, Lily is referred to as one of those bees that are being told that she is free to leave because the jar is open.
"Lily your jar is open"
ReplyDeleteThis means its her turn too leave. An find a new life away from T-Ray
There are many symbols in this story “The Secret life of bees”. I believe the bees in the jar are one of the symbols. I also think that it is the most important symbol yet. The symbol of the bees in the jar is a symbol of Lily’s chance to finally get away and escape to her freedom.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important theme is the way T-Ray treats Lily. She is his daughter. He treats her as if she is a slave. He does not have any respect for her. She feels like she is a nobody.
One symbol in chapter 1 that i remember is when Rosaleen was fighting with T.Ray saying that lily could keep her chick. The symbol is when they say 'his boots wispered uncle all the way down the hall.' Its saying that T.Ray was giving up to Rosaleen about lily keeping the chick.
ReplyDeleteA symbol from chapter 2, is " Lily your jar is open. These basically say that she is free and can do what she feels and want. She don't have to worry about anyone else and what they say about her.
ReplyDeleteA symbolism in chapter 2 is when Lily hears something that says “Lily Melissa Owens, your jar is open”. When they said that was symbolism for Lily being a bee, and by her jar being open that meant she has the option to leave. By her jar being open is like the door being open for her to be able to run away.
ReplyDelete"Lily Your Jar Is Open" was a great symbol.This symbolize the fact that Lily has the right to freedom now.Also it was her letting out her feelings and stop holding them in.
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 2 of the book the time that Rosaleen and Lily spent together could be symbolic of a mother/daughter type relationship. At the store Lily stole some snuff because she felt that Rosaleen deserved it. When they were at the creek Lily and Rosaleen argued and made up.
ReplyDeleteone symbol for Rosaleen is her smooth stones that the has in her house and how she keeps keepsakes and has a different religion that is far from christianity.
ReplyDeleteIn Chapter 2 Lily said " Lily your jar is open." This symbolizes that it was time for Lily to leave. She's like a bee who is frees and able to fly away.
ReplyDeleteThis symbol was in the @nd chapter when she was yellin at her father saying that she isnt scared of him .This shows that she really dis likes him as a whole person and shes not going to ever be scared of him never scared of him anymore.Also she had doubts on what t ray was all about talkin about her mother and how she was the one to put it one not taking her words. she dislike him.
ReplyDeleteA symbol from chapter 2 when Lily broke Rosaleen out of jail. This symbolize the mother/daughter relationship they had. Eventhough they were not they did things as if they were. Lily did not have to break Rosaleen out of jail but she was so close with her and they share the love that any parent/child would
ReplyDeleteI believe that Rosaleen could be a symbol as Lily's mother figure. Though Rasaleen isn't really trying to take the place of her mother,she is always caring and assisting her when needed. Though Lily and Rosallen are two different races, they both share the connection of mother and daughter. Lily also knows that Rosaleen could never tak the place her real mother, but she relies on her to keep things in her home stable. Therefore, Rosallen's looked at as a symbol in Lily's life.
ReplyDeleteLily your jar is open that symbolizes that she no longer feel trapped in her own mind and when the lid opened it freed her.She turned the jar on its side to let the bees know that they were free. In this phrase, Lily is referred to as one of those bees that are being told that she is free to leave because the jar is open.
ReplyDeletei say that symbolismmeans that it is something that tells something or means something to the person.Something that i would call a symbol is the picture that is of lily's mom. it means great important to her.
ReplyDeleteA symbol would either be when the bees wouldn't leave out the jar even though it was open.It symbolize how she was held "captive" so long and she had finally recieved a chance to escape her imprisonment of T.Ray
ReplyDeleteA sign would be the lable from the honey made in Tiburon, SC that once belonged to her mother.When she saw it she felt as if it was where she had to go.
One symbol form the story is “Lily your jar is open”. Lily was representing a bee in a jar, and when the jar opens she can fly away. So she took that chance and left to break free form her abusive dad.
ReplyDelete"Lily your jar is open" this symbolized that this was Lily's chance to try to get away
ReplyDeletefrom T.Ray and get Rosaleen out of jail so they can go to a safe place.......
One symbol is in chapter 2, Is when the Jar is open was said. The phrase is saying that freedom is there and take it while u can, while T.Ray is gone.Get away from the house. No more holding back and know Lily can let her feelings go.
ReplyDeleteIn Chapter 2 a voice said Lily your jar is open symoblizes that she need to leave T-Ray because he abused her
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 1, one of the biggest actions was when Rosaleen poured the tobacco juice onto the three white men's shoes. When she did this, it symbolized how proud she was to be african american. On tv she had just seen the Civil Rights Act being signed,she felt bigger, almost equal to the white men.
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 2, Lily has the opportunity to leave and go to be free. She will always have that empty feeling of her mother not being there. T-Ray doesn't even attempt to make her feel like a girl and comfort her into feeling like she belonged. She needs to be around positive people who cares what she does and she feels on a day to day bases. Someone to teach how tobe a lady and what they should and can act like.
ReplyDeletethe biggest symbol in chapter 1 & 2 would be the picture of the black virgin mary. that picture is a symbol of the love lily has for her mother and far she was willing to go in order to have a part of her. After finding the picture lily left home to go find that piece of her that was missing. Her finding that picture signified a change about to happen in her life. The fact that she had nothing put hope in the pic to go off of made me feel as if it may have a big role in her life
