Topic: setting

The setting of The Secret Life of Bee's is in various places. The main setting is in South Carolina. Here is where all the main characters live. It's set in the 1960's and is full of racism. To go a little deeper, Lily and Rosaleen stay in Tiburon, South Carolina to find out more about Lily's mother. Here they stay in a big pink house that is owned by three cultured African-American women. It's surrounded by ton's of land and trees. They evolve their lives around honey and bees. This setting is important because Lily discovers her mother who she has no memory of and a new way of life that she hasn't seen before.I don't think would vary as much if the setting was somewhere else, but this could also be in another southern place.
