What was the setting of Beka's dream
Mr.Lamb is referring to the fact that Beka was eavesdroppin on him and Granny Ivy when they were having their little disagreement, just as how an alligator watches and sneaks up on people Beka was sneaking up on him and Granny Ivy.
In "Beka Lamb" no cause of death is given of why or what Granny Straker died of. One can only imagine, since this was Beka's mother's grandmother, that the cause may have just been natural causes and she had in face simply died of old age.
Toycie died in this chapter!! how sad!! ;((((( it made me cry wen i read it.....
It may be true to an extent, that Beka lamb is 'boring' to quote a few previous answers...but one must take the text-a literature text book, in context. It is a metaphor for Ms.Edgell. And yes, as some of my students attest, it is a book to put them to sleep. But it is about a Caribbean experience. In chapter 7, Beka does not lie to the grocer, Mr. Gordillo, if she has passed exams.The book is written in a series of flashbacks that makes it difficult to understand at first. Beka remembers her maternal grandfather. Beka learns that her maternal grandfather was living in the bush with a Mayan woman and he dreams of going to England because he is half English. This gives insight into the background of Beka Lamb, her cultural upbringing. Her grandfather questions her father about his patriotism. Granny Ivy and beka's mother also discuss the bouganvillea (recurring symbol)being cut down. This was Beka's first successful plant and that is symbolic for Granny Ivy.
Chapter 11 summary chapter eleven delves the deep into the theme of breaking with tradition and superstition. Miss Ivy and Beka's mother are arguing about the wake that Aunt Tama wants to keep for Granny Straker. Beka's mother feels that too much superstition is involved in the wakes that people keep to prevent spirits from roaming after death. Miss Ivy feels wakes are important. The debate about the past versus the present and future weaves it through this chapter. Granny Ivy tries to point of saying she doesn't believe in the superstitions that are held by the Caribs and the Afro-Belizeans. When Beka tries to enter the conversation mother is upset. When Beka becomes angry and declares she is going to marry a Carib when she grows up, her mother slaps her and sends her to her room. more soon
