LOVE
|
* First, the love between men and women: Lily falls in love with Zach, and June falls in love with Neil. #P103,P133,P135 * Second, the love between family members: 1-Lily loves Rosaleen, August and her sister, and they also love Lily, because they treat Lily like their daughter, and Lily treats them like her mothers. 2- Lily love her mother, and she misses her a lot. Lily also loves her father, and she had been tried to get her father's love. At the sometime, Lily's father loves Lily too, because he is looking for Lily when Lily left home, even he doesn't treat Lily like a normal father treats his daughter, and he shows us he hates her mother, but I think how much you hate a person, then how much you love the person. #P2, P13, P161, * The love between bees, August and Lily. #P92, P149, |

Rosaleen had never had a child herself, so for the la ten years I'd been her pet guinea pig. P103 "That Neil,"said May."He's sweet on June." "It looks to me like June is sweet on him, too." P133 It seemed like I was now thinking of Zach forty minutes out of every hour. P135 Lily, I like you better than any girl I've known, but you have to understand, there are people who would kill boys like me for even looking at girls like you. |
