 * Period 6/7**

Pages 189-195 During these pages, May went out to the wailing wall and never came back, so the sisters, Rosaleen, and Lily went out to look for her. When they went out in search of her, June went to call the police. They were all in different directions trying to find May. Finally, August found her laying in the lake swaying back and fourth in the current. Her body just floating in the water. August thrashed through the water towards May with Lily right behind her. Lily tried to hold August's hand, but she pulled away. They both stood there in the water starring at May's dead body laying in the water. Lily couldn't believe her eyes, she thought that at any moment, May would just wake up, until she realized May was gone, completely gone. August called for June's name and when her and Rosaleen got there they both stood there in shock. Rosaleen was the one in most utter shock. She stood there like a statue with her chin shaking. Lily couldn't look at May's dead body any longer, which caused her to vomit. When they returned back to the house, the police were waiting to question them. You would think that they would have questions about the death of May, but instead they were more curious to why Lily was there, considering she is white. It was irrelevent for the police to ask Lily questions. Created by Abbie Demcher

Pages 195-201 In chapter 10 May finds out that Zach got sent to jail along with his friends. She found out when she answered the phone and Zach's mother tells her. May then proceeds to go into a state of shock rather than her usual 'Old Susana' bit. May is in such a deep state of shock that she is unreachable for quite a while, then when August and June are finally able to get her to respond, May heads out to the wall alone. May is out at the wall for five minutes before August and the others head out there in search of her. They find that she has commited suicide in the lake and is lost to them forever. Right before they found May, August had June call the police so when they showed up and took away May's body and ruled it out as a suicide they interrogated Lily and Rosaleen about where they are from and why Lily is staying in a house with black women.

Pages 201-207 In These pages lily wants to tell august about what she knew and how she knew that her mom stayed here. Then zach came back and every body stop and ran towards him. Zach was in jail and the reason he got out was the woman in the theater saw who threw the bottle at the police officer and told them so they dropped the charges. Zach Felt guilt when he saw may because if he just would have told the police officer he would have never went to jail and may would never had killed herself. Then August asked him to help drape the bees because the bee keeper would always drape the bees after someone would die. Also the daughters of mary came with lots of food and cooked it for the Boatwrite

Pages 207-213 In these pages The Daughters of Mary showed up and helped prepare some food for May's funeral. They all ate standing up while talking about how much May would have liked everything. During the funeral the Daughters passed around a wooden bowl full of something they called manna. Manna is a salted mixture of sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, and pomegranate seeds drizzled whit honey and baked to perfection, this is what they eat while sitting with the dead. Also within these pages August went looking for May's suicide note, which she happily found. She read it aloud to June, Rosaleen, and Lily. It read: I'm sorry to leave you like this. I hate you being sad, but think how happy I'll be with April, Mama, Papa, and Big Mama. Picture us up there together, and that will help some. I'm tired of carrying around the weight of the world. I'm just going to lay it down now. It's my time to die, and it's your time to live. Don't mess it up. Love, May//** What May meant by it's my time to die and your time to live is that to live their lives to the fullest. And as they were discussing what May's suicide note meant, and it occurred to August that that means that June should marry Neil. In the afternoon the funeral home came to pick up May for the burial August passed around a paper bag full of manna, and they scooped up handfuls and threw the seeds into the hole with the coffin.
