Sue Monk Kidd wrote these little passages about bees to cryptically foreshadow the events that will occur in the following chapter.
The phrase that I chose to analyze was the one before Chapter eight “Honeybees depend not only on physical contact with the colony, but also require its social companionship and support. Isolate a honey bee from her sister and she will soon die.”
This phrase suggests that in a way Lily is dead. She has almost no social life before she gets to the pink house. In this chapter most of the social relationships that occur in this book develop. The first thing that happens in this chapter is that Lily starts to talk to August about what she likes and this is the first time that she has ever talked to someone about her interests. Lily and Zach’s relationship also continues to develop in this chapter. Then Lily meets the lawyer that plays a very important role later on in the story. The most important event that happens in the chapter that is related to the foreshadowing phrase is when Lily calls her father to see if he knows her favorite color. This shows that she wants social companionship so much that she is willing to call the person that she loathes the most for it.
