In The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd’s writing style is eloquent because of her use of diction, tone and mood, and point of view. For example, in chapter six Lily says, “I could feel the questions gathering in him, knew I could not face them”(105). Here, it shows Kidd’s writing style because she eloquently states what Lily is thinking; it is very clear and concise. This quote also shows that point of view is important in her writing style because it gives the reader different ways to get information. You can see what Lily is feeling and seeing exactly so the reader may get incorrect and correct information.  Another example is when Lily is in the kitchen with June and Lily writes, “June stared at me. Waiting. Her lips pinched tight along her teeth” (105). Here, Kidd uses eloquent language by describing clearly what June is doing and what she looks like. This quote also shows how Kidd’s use of diction helps with her eloquent writing style because she uses words that can distinctly explain and describe situations. It also shows tone and mood by explaining Lily’s opinion and how she sees June. She clearly explains how mean she looks to Lily and, thus, sets the tone of the story. Overall, Kidd’s eloquent style helps for readers to be able to clearly see what is going on in their heads. They can understand what is going on without having to really search for the meaning in the text.
