Beka Lamb summary by zee edgel?

I think that the way in which Zee Edgell explores growth and maturity in her novel is in the form of Beka Lamb realizing that she was taking her lying thing a little too far. She grew out of that when she accepted her mother's gift and used the book and pen as she asked of her.

Also, we can use Toycie's misfortunes as a learning experience for Beka and she is able to look at that and grow from it. I use Toycie's death because Toycie was a very intelligent individual and her downfall was unforseen. This then can help Beka distinguish right from wrong better than she would have been able to before.

Also, when Beka accepts the invitation to enter the essay competition she shows growth and maturity, as it is something that Toycie would have done. By her winning this competition, we have evidence that she has indeed grown and matured. I hope I helped . . . :)
