Hi there!

Our teacher told us to reread the last chapter of the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and she gave us three questions for us to answer.

1. What does the last image about the trees have to do with Rose and her family?
2. How do you interpret the last line of the novel?
3. What did you like and dislike most about the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and would you recommend it to someone?

For the first question, the book stated that 'it is a symbol of survival'. I think the last image about the trees that was stated in the book that have to do with Rose and her family is about the surviving the world with different capabilities. Rose and her family have unusual abilities from others where Rose can feel the emotion in food she ate, her brother can transform into  chair and her father can sense death. They can deal with this type of abilities and keep on living in this world as a normal human being.

For the second question, the last line is, 'Was it so different than the choice of a card-table chair, except my choice meant I could stay in the world and his didn't?'. In my opinion, the line is about the difference in special abilities of Rose and Joseph. Rose can control her abilities and avoid tasting weird emotion by not eating handmade food. Meanwhile, Joseph couldn't control his ability of changing himself to a furniture.

The last question is kinda tricky for me whoa. What I like about this novel is the timeline of the story from when Rose was small and innocent to a big girl or young adult. Everything keeps on changing as the plot of the story moves along. One thing I dislike about this novel is about his brother freaking weird ability of changing himself into a random furniture. Its so fantasy and mindblowing and somehow gibberish. I would recommend this book to my friend who loves fantasy story.

Well, thats all from me. Till finger meets keyboard. Bye!
