5. I definitely agree with Daniel because it does let us explore our imagination and crate our own ending. What i do not agree with though is whats happening next. I think you already have a general idea. Shes staying with the girls, let her, and the charges for the break are working to be dropped, everything else isn't really relevant. You could make someone like die later but really her life is going to go on.
6. I agree with Bryson because i don't like how the cliffhanger ending was put there. But i do think she put it there to teach her readers a sense of imagination and creativity.

Daniel comments 5&6

i couldn't agree more with Chris W. he states that authors use them as daggers which is a wonderful metaphor. the author leads you all the way up to a climax then shuts you down and doesn't let you know what will happen next. its somewhat like a serial killers mind state in which they make all the dramatic kills then leave you hanging and curious as to what will happen next.

i also agree with ian. he says that she wants you to finish it the way you want to finish it and that is what i also believe.

5. I agree with Meghan's 3rd post. I enjoy being able to imagine how the characters' life will play out. Sue Monk Kidd wanted the reader to be able to imagine whether there would be a happy ending or a more mellow ending.
6. I also agree with Nikki's final post. As much as I enjoy cliffhangers, I did not feel that this book had a cliffhanger ending. The ending wrapped up the strings that were left about the summer, which was when the story took place. ALthough the ending made you wonder about the future, there was no major part left out.

Comments 5:
I agree with Valaria. Sue Monk Kidd could have ended the story, but she (and I) found it more interesting to give us a chance to let our minds and imaginations do the thinking and come up with the ending of our own accord.
Comment 6:
I agree with Katherine's post because everyone has a mind of their own that works in different ways: one person might want the ending to be happy and another might want the ending to be sad and disappointing; it just depends on how you view Lily during her lifetime.

1. In many of the blogs, like Ian’s and Bryson’s, they mention how they do not like novels that have cliffhangers. I understand this because after a many internal and external problems that happen in a novel the reader generally wants some sort of conclusion, or the stereo-typical “happy ever after” ending. In the end of The Secret Life of Bees you can make yourself believe that Lilly has a happy ending or you can twist and make it something completely different.
2. After reading several of the blogs I can conclude that we all had generally the same idea. That is that Sue Monk Kidd left it a cliffhanger so that we can “ponder”, as a fellow student said, the ending. I felt this is the glory in all cliffhangers, that whatever mood you are able to determine your ending to the story, how ever you want it to end.

1. I agree with Daniels post. Cliff Hangers can be bad or good but i think in this case it was a good choice. It gave us the chance to think on our own.
2. I agree with Neel's post. I also think that this is more of an ending of a chapter in her life rather than a cliff hanger.

5. I agree with Valeria when she discusses how the book might not of been able to end happily. During the Civil rights movement, jobs were very difficult to come by. Zach most likely would not of been able to become an attorney and life could have gotten much worse in the future for the sisters. This gives a possible explanation as to why the author gave the book a cliff-hanger ending.
6. I also agree with Connor when he discusses how the author wants to let us visualize the best or worse for the characters. The authors goal with a cliff hanger ending is to let us imagine what will happen next, whether it be good or bad.
