Secret Life of Bees, final entry

Now I’ve read the book and watched the movie, and I actually think that the book was better than the movie. There have been some changes from the book to the movie. Some things have been left out and some things have been changed on. For example when Rosaleen and Lily is on their way to Tiburon, they take a swim when they are having a stop in the woods in the book but they don’t do that in the movie. And the episode when Zack is being arrested has been changed on, because Lily and Zack were never at the movie theater in the book.
I feel that if you haven’t read the book before you watch movie it might be difficult to understand everything that is happening. In the book you are more inside of Lilys head and know how she feels and what she thinks, which is a little difficult in the movie.
The themes in the story, like Nadia wrote, are courage, hope and racism. All these three are relevant in the society today, and everyone is infected by one or another somehow. Always remember to appreciate others around you and the ones you love. You never know what you have until its gone.
