Reread pages 210 and 211 in The Secret Life of Bees. Pay particular attention to August's advice to to June:
"You've been halfway living your life for too long. . . don't sort of maybe live, but live like you're going all out, like you're not afraid" (210)
Reflect on your own life and think of ways that you might not be completely living.
Your assignment is to explain to me how you could live "like you're going all out." Give a specific example and explain how it makes you feel more alive.

- camping
- dancing

Things that make us feel like we're not exactly alive or "awake"

- conflicts with parents
- eating too much
