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.
