NIkki Jackson's comments 3,4

3. Although my original post was different from Stephanie’s, I do agree with what she said as well. The black Mary seemed to attract people, and give them a new, spiritual feeling. Not to mention her relation of the civil rights movement to the black Mary ‘breaking the chains’ of discrimination. They are moving toward a revolution, and soon the ‘queen bee substance’ that Our Lady of Chains gives out, will motivate the start.
4. I also find Valeria’s opinion very accurate as well. As Lily leaves the house, she is not too sure about where she will go, all she knows is that she must migrate. When she leaves, she ends up settling down near the river; the swarm normally flies only a few meters and settles. Then, she thinks about where she should go to stay for a longer period of time, in a safer environment; Scout bees look for a suitable place to start the new colony. Once she found the sweet little home in Tiburon, Lily decides to stay; Eventually, one location wins favor and the whole swarm takes to the air. I also love how Valeria mentioned the house as a symbol for the memory of her mother.
