August told her stories about the sculpture and some storied that their mom had told them which worried Lily because they symbolized her running away	Lily and August. Told lily the reasons that may is so sensitive.
Why is this an important event?	Start to their new life hopefully!	She is making more connections to the black Mary picture that her mother had and the sisters	It explains why may is how she is

What do you think will happen next?



I think that soon Lily will confronted by one of the sister ( Maybe even June ) about why she is actually there in Tiburn. and i think it will create some unrest in May and June that they were being lied to. But they will get passed it and continue growing close to the two. Lily and Rosaleen will have a conflict soon as well.

Copy the passage you liked the most here. Write down the page #.	Why do you like this passage?
" 'That's the queen the large one.' I made a curtsy like people do for the queen of England, which made August laugh. I wanted to make her love me so she would keep me forever.  If i could make her love me maybe she would forget about Beatrix the nun going hoe and let me stay. "	I like this because that is a funny gesture that Lily does. Reminds me of something that I would do haha. I also think that August telling Lily about Beatrix is foreshadowing that one day Lily will realize that she needs to go home!
