Its coming to an end :')

Hello people, todays entry kind of wraps everything up about The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. We were assigned by our beloved teacher to answer three questions related to the novel. So, lets stop the idle chatter and cut to the chase.

To be honest for the first question,  i kinda on the same boat with Maryam about the image of the trees and how they have to do with Rose and her family. I think what she'd stated in her post were all make sense, surprisingly!. About how the trees at the rim of the island are somehow depict the character Joseph himself. How very unstable one of the tree towards the nature despite its enormous trunk and voracious roots is very similar to Joseph who is introvert and extremely prone to change although he has his family which is his support system. I also agree with her about how the trees in the second ring and the ones at the twenty yards in are one way or another have to do with Rose and her father respectively. One of the trees in the the second ring which is very interesting that the islanders commented upon as a symbol of survival is very much like Rose as she continue living her normal life with her peculiar ability although at first she had troubles accepting it. On the other hand, the trees, twenty yards in are like wise represent the father himself which stays strong and continues to provides oxygen(support) and shade(a place) for his family.

For the second question, the last line of the novel in my opinion is meant to say that Rose's ability in some ways is different to her brother's as hers is very not a burden to her though she had several bad times because of her power compared to her brother who can turns into something while having no clue about the time and if changes back into the human form will be very weak in condition.

And for the last question, i will say that the thing that i like about the novel is how unique it is with some of the characters having their own special abilities in which are not the type of common superpowers you can find in the X-men movies. The specific part that like which touches me in the novel is the part where Rose remembers all the very very little moments she had with her brother when her brother holds her hand for the last time in the hospital. And as for the thing that i dislike about the novel, is the usage of words which is very difficult for someone like me whos very poor in vocabs to understand. All in all, the novel had been such a nice narrative in which i will surely suggest to someone; especially the one who wishes to understand more about life.

So i guess thats it, until next time.
