Who is the protagonist in Beka Lamb?
Beka Lamb is the central character in this novel. This novel is about change and the change in the political climate mirrors the change taking place in her life. At the beginning of the novel, Beka displays immaturity. She lies about silly things and even about failing first form. She steals money from her parents for trivial things and does not hold value in school or care much about what goes on around her. Throught the novel we see her changing, valuing her education, no longer lying and even ashamed when her fellow creole's give the race a bad name (Mrs Arguelles flashing her bottom at the Spanish priest). The whole story is told in a flashback. Bill Lamb is the father of Beka. He is seen as the disciplinarian and makes the final decision on whether Beka goes back to highschool or not. He also brings the news of Granny Straker's death. He and granny Ivy always disagree about politics as he does not support the PIP. He fails to show consistent love in the family. Lilla Lamb is Beka's mother. She loves roses and always plants rose gardens. she hates Beka's lies and does not have a set political view (she hates politics) Granny Ivy is Beka's grandmother and a strong woman role in the novel. She is an active supporter of the PIP and attends meeting regularly at the battle field park along with Ms Eila. She knows more about life than even Beka and Bill. Ms Eila is Toycie's surrogate mother. She took Toycie in after her mother went to the states and is an active supporter of the PIP. She feels guilty when Toycie dies, feeling she could have done more to prevent it. She is poor and lives in a broke down house. Granny Straker is the matriarchal role in the family. When she passes away a bram is held which is a lively wake with music and dancing. she took in Bill when he was a boy and was close to Beka before she got sick. Toycie is a seventeen year old student of St. Cecilia's and is Beka's best friend. She has a steady relationship with Emilio and becomes pregnant. At saint George's caye, she is seen emerging from the cemetery fixing herself, foreshadowing death. Toycie is trapped in that cycle of poverty that plagues many Belizean women. she is rejected by Emilio then expelled from St. Cecilia's. The abandonment and loss not only of Emilio and school but coupled with the abandonment of her mother, caused her to lose her mind. it is ironic how she wanted to live by the sea and ended up in the asylum situated by the sea commonly known as sea breeze hotel. Toycie moves to Stann Creek with Eila and is killed by a mango tree during a hurricane, not uncommon at the time. Emilio is also known as man fish and is Toycie's boyfriend. He impregnates Toycie and leaves her coldly telling her he could never marry a creole girl and an unpure one at that. He is attached to his mother who calls him her little prince. Mrs. Juana Villanueva is Emilio's mother. She teaches toycie guitar, eventually ending them when she realizes Toycie and Emilio are getting too close. She is a social climber wearing fine clothes and acting very fake. Sister Virgil (mighty mouse) is a small pigeon chested woman and the principal of St. Cecilia's. She is and American and comes from Rhode island. She is very strict and harsh, ironic as she is a sister of charity. She expells Toycie from school only continuing the cycle of poverty. She displays the woman's role of power but is very harsh. Sister Gabriella is a teacher at St. Cecilia's and ecourages Beka to enter an essay competition. She is the opposite to Sister Virgil and displays the qualitites of kindness and encouragement. She wants the best from the students. Father Nunez is a priest and teaches Beka religion. He is a mestizo and had to work to break out of the stereotype and prejudice toward his race. He did this by being extra pious and had Beka suspended because she was honest in that she didnt know weather or not she believed in heaven. Father Rou is the American priest who helped Beka by appealing for her so she would not be expelled, only suspended. Father Mullins is a priest at the church Senora Villanueva goes to. He was flashed by Mrs Arguelles, a newspaper lady who flashed her bottom at him. Chuku and Zandy are Beka's younger brothers. They often play marbles. Mrs Benguche was the Carib teacher who told the students stories about brams and obeahs. Mr Blanco is Bill's employer he has children who walk keeping their head perfectly straight which amazes Beka.
In Beka Lamb the reasons why toycie can be blamed for her pregnancy?
Toycie can be blamed for her pregnancy for several reasons: Toycie was intelligent, she knew she only need another year to graduate and get a job, Toycie wanted the high life like the southside rich homes which she loved to walk by on Sunday afternoons, She thought she was raising her status to get with Emilio, all the signs suggested her life would not turn out well if she got with Emilio, eg. his mother was hoity, they had to hide their relationship and Emilio was in school just like her Beka warned her he would not marry her,
What is a summary of Beka Lamb chapter 12?
The basic theme is the struggle of the Creole population of Belize to hold on to their ethnic heritage and assert their civil rights while faced with opposition from the Hispanic community. (IMO, reading great literature should be seen as a privilege and an honor not a tedious obligation).
