Heyyy guys! It's been a while hasn't it. Sorry I've been away, I've just been recently busy with some personal stuff but I'm back greater than ever. I'm actually back because recently we've been given another task and it's a task like we've never gotten before. There will be 3 questions that I will be answering in today's blog and it's all about my perspective of what I think about the novel "A Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake".
One of the questions was "How does the last image about the trees have to do with Rose and her family?" In my opinion, I think the tree in the novel represents the family tree of the special family members in the family which consists of Rose, Joseph and her dad. As you can tell trees consists of branches and roots and to me these branches and roots represents the special capabilities of each person and how they cope with their capabilities. For example, Rose with her speciality of feeling emotion after eating a certain food made by someone. She has to endure the strength to face her fears of using her powers and has to truly embrace it to only control her capability and learn to appreciate it. Sometimes even if life gives you the toughest obstacle, it also gives you the strength to overcome it and trust me the outcome is definitely worth it.
Further more, the question that we got asked is "How would you interpret the last line of the novel". In my opinion, I think the last line of the novel is just trying to convey how the characters of the novel try to cope with their disabilities. For example, Rose, Joseph and their father suffer the consequences of having these special gifts or some of them may refer to it as disabilities or curses. This is because all three of them really do not like their gifts and don't appreciate it at all as it only causes trouble to them. The last line also tries to interpret how they cope with this disabilities. For example, Joseph can't control himself from converting into a chair and doesn't know how to solve his adaptation problem. On the other hand Rose gets help from George by trying to discover and control her powers of feeling emotion after the the first bite of eating something. These show the greats strengths and effort shown by the character in trying to control their powers.
My third and final question is "What did you like (and dislike) most about the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" and would you recommend it to someone? In my opinion, there are some things which I find quite interesting and I really like how the author of this novel got to showcase the different types of people with their different capabilities. On top of that, the storyline of this novel is mostly based about the relationship between one another in a family. What I liked about this novel is that Rose, the main actor has to be independent on her own and even though she goes through her own struggles in the end it is worth it as I think it is better for someone to develop on their own because the end product is worth it. This novel also teaches us how we should care for one another and should always be there for someone when they are in need. On the other hand, there are also a few things I dislike about the novel. Such as, I didn't really understand the ending that much and there wasn't much content in the end. I don't know if this is what the author was going for but I'd rather have it more elaborated about the different characters and what had happened to them in the end.
That is all for now in today's vlog, and these are only some of my opinions about the questions that were given to me. See you guys next timee!
