Rebecca Hanrahan, Comments 3 and 4

3. Josh makes a good point about communication in his post, but I disagree with one idea. May's lack of communication in some ways can be the blame for her death, but August had no way of differentiating between May going out to end her life, and just going out to cry. Also, May couldn't have communicated her problems to the sisterhood because she obviously can't cope with it herself.

4. Meghan's post pointed out something I had not noticed before. In comparing bees to May, the bees don't purposely work themselves to death. May, in theory, worried herself to death. A bee wouldn't ever intentionally end its life because of its duty to the hive. Even though May probably considered the lives of her sisters before her death, they weren't enough to keep living.
