Hate lemons, Love cakes

So hye lemons,🍋💨

                  

 T.O.K camp was super fantastic because of the conducive learning environment, tempting foods and the very pleasant scenery. We really enjoyed every minute in the historical city of Melaka but now, let’s put that aside because it's time to update this lemon blog before it become dull and more “krik-krik”.

 For the first question, I thought that the last image about the trees was only related to the main character and her life but it actually can be relate to other family members also. The trees are growing in a small island of California and every stages of tree have their own adaptations to survive with the harsh weather at the coast of central California. When I read it, this kind of tree story is continued with Rose’s food story and it actually give me a hint that the image of the trees just act as a symbolism of Rose’s condition. The fact that she is the only one that knows about his brother’s ability to become furniture taught her to be responsible and find ways to keep up her promise just like the trees finding ways to survive. In addition, Rose also faces some difficulty to cope with her ability but she’s a patient girl and able to survive with help from vending machines and family. Hence, the trees also could symbolize her father, Joseph and her mother because all of them have their own problems to be solved. 👀

 The last line of the novel saying that “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?” could mean anything the writer wants us interpret the writer give the readers a chance to interpret it in our own way. For me, I would say that the line means Lily feel sympathy towards his brother because he cannot resist himself to not turn to chair or whatever but Lily just bears with human emotions and she still can live her life. While his brother missing, he also doesn’t know how many days has passed and her body will badly dehydrated. Pity on him but he still manage to do constant practice and found out that the chair is the best option. Good job Joseph! 🙌

 Lastly, I really like this novel because of the main character, Rose. I love weird and strange things but when I try to put myself in Rose, I feel it's impossible to have that abnormal ability without any genetic or any accidents happened, just like she's naturally gifted with that ability. So this fact triggered me to study more about this vending-machine girl and love the styles of the writer as I read it. The writer was so imaginative like it’s was really happened in her real life. It could be right? I try to look at this case in the positive side and found out that Rose's special ability can be used to find a solution for someone’s problems by eating what they cooked and know their emotions. It’s super cool actually but I would choose the power to become invisible compared to Lily’s ability. I’m quite close with my sister and I would recommend this book to her. After she finished reading, we could laugh together when talking about the weird scenes in the novel.

That’s all, Thank You 😊
