"I smiled back at Charlie and I knew that the hopes of this whole human world could fit inside one soul. This is a good trick. This is called, globalisation—Little Bee


這是一本頗具深度的書
不只探討了全球化以及英國難民尋求政治庇護的問題
也描繪了人性的脆弱及勇敢
難能可貴的是，兩位主要女性narrator的背後發言人竟是一位關懷人性的男作家Chris Cleave

你敢不敢用一根手指，來交換陌生人的一條性命？
也許，你並沒有你想像中的那麼「善良」！

不敢用一根手指交換陌生人的一條性命的安德魯最後上吊自殺
敢用一根手指交換陌生人的一條性命的莎拉捐出了她的手指也讓小蜜蜂有機會看的見未來

全球化(globalization)到底對這個世界造成什麼影響?
我喜歡小蜜蜂的定義
"我覺得大家你殺我我殺你，可是卻聽同一首歌。...這個世界還真會開玩笑...誰都看誰不順眼，可是誰都喜歡U2"

我想我知道今年Christmas要教同學那一首歌了

One - U2

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
carry each other
carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
See we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters, brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...
One...

extended version

Can You hear us coming Lord
Can You hear us call
Feel us knocking
We're knocking at Your door
