False They can be together, they can lead a forbidden love like Romeo and Juilet except instead of killing themselves they'll probably get attacked by a lynch mob. But really throughout the story both Lily and Zach express their feelings to each other. Like in the end of the book they referenced as "Nigger Lovers." -Soap On A Rope
False. Zach is not leading Lily on. he truly does like her and he wants to imagine whats never been. just as zach wants to be one of the first black lawyers, he wants to believe that in the future blacks and whites will be able to love each other without others judging them. in the pink house they can be together even though if they go out in the community they would be judged. "you gotta imagine what's never been" (pg126) eventhough blacks and whites cannot be together now, he knows that will change in the future and it doesnt change how much he likes and adores lily. -Dora
I agree with Mr. Soap, Lily and Zach can be together but its just way too dangerous. Love comes in many shpaes and forms and in there case its a white girl and a black boy. You cant help who you fall in love with and anyone who says differetn is deprived of love themselves. ~King Of Hearts
False. Zach is not leading Lily on at all because she feels the same way about him. Therefore, she does not consider Zach's actions to be leading her on. Even though they both know that it would never work for them to be together, they cannot help their feelings towards one another. I think that Lily likes Zach BECAUSE of the way he acts towards her. She is not used to feeling loved, especially from a boy. Back at home the only man figure in her life was T. Ray and he never showed her love like Zach has. Lily feels loved for the first time in her life, and I think if anyone is feeling that way, they do not want to let it go. Even if it is just a friendly love, there is no replacement for it. On page 135, Zach and Lily are having a touching conversation that shows how their true feelings towards one another. "This is for you," he said. "So you can get a head start on your writing." Thats when i knew i would never find a better friend than Zachary Taylor."
Soap On A Rope is a terrible person!!! Who says anyone has to know about the relationship between Zach and Lily? They can still have a happy life without projecting their status around the world. And they are only young teenagers, they aren't necessarily going to marry eachother. And no lynching :)
Dear Soap on a rope, I can not believe you would be so crule to think that every kind of forbidden love will end badly. You are never going to find love if you don't have any faith. Also if they go to the north it will be more accepted than in the south. You should be more open minded to change and be willing to do what the heart tells you. That quality is what makes August a great person. -Caroline Rice
Yeah get outta here Imma Leprechaun, we're having a intelligent conversation about how much love exsists between Lily and Zach, also evidenced by the gifts Zach gave Lily. -Soap On A Rope
Like everyone else, i disagree with Soap Boy. Zach is not leading her on, he cares about her hes trying to make it work even though its dangerous and hard. Zach and Lilly love eachother, just because there not of the same race means there bound to get lynched. No one has to know about there love for one another. and In the north its more accepted than in the south. So they dont have to stay in the south. Love is a powerful thing that can get through anything.and thats what lilly and zach do. =)
