1) What words best describe a character?
I think the word to use to best describe Lawrence is selfish. I say that because he wants Sarah all for himself; he doesn't like that Little bee is staying at her house and threatens Little bee that he will turn her into immigration. I feel that even though Andrew is dead, he still gets jealous of what Sarah had with him. There's this part in the book where he gets mad when Sarah is talking about how she was clearing Andrews desk and found a book that he was writing and that she was thinking of continuing writing the book for him and that's when he gets mad and walks off to where Charlie and Little bee are playing and tells little bee to go talk some sense into her. I believe that he does truly love Sarah, but is very difficult in showing it and always wants her way.
2) What is Lawrence’s opinion of Little bee?
He isn't fond of Little bee, I believe it is because he works with the department of government that deals with immigration and also because he thinks that she isn't doing any good to Sarah; being around her and bringing back memories of what happened back in Nigeria.
3)What does the author mean by saying, "ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. […] Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived"?
I think that the author is trying to be inspirational and trying to tell us that even if we get hurt we must fight through the hurt and when we are done hurting we should look back at it and be happy that we got through it and we are still alive. They might remind you of the horrible things that happened but we must see it as a beautiful thing; it can be hard but then you have to remember that getting through the pain or hurt must have been harder than dealing with the pain after.
4) People who read this book will learn _____ ?
I think that if people when people read this, they will learn a lot of things. One of the things they will learn is how hard it is for refugees and immigrants when they first arrive in a new county; and how hard it is to get adjusted to everything new around them. They will also learn how just the cause of one event will cause the chain of more surprising events. I feel that this book will open the eyes of many people and make them see things in a different perspective.
