In the novel “Secret life of bees” the author Kidd Monk Sue made me admire Zach Taylor. He works at the honey farm and becomes a friend of Lily’s. He seems to be like the average teenager in during that time erra. Now he is a very “happy go lucky” teenager, but when something happens to him it changes him. After this event he is a whole new person. He is not himself, he is angry and there is nothing that will change him back to the way he was before.
He was put in jail and he did nothing wrong, it made him angry, after this it opened up his eyes. He did not do anything wrong but the world made him feel like he did.
I feel like I can relate to Zach on a personal level. He was changed due to the fact that something had a big impact on his life and he could do nothing. He could do nothing at all to help anybody. He was helpless, other people made him feel like he was nothing and was no good.
