The final chapter 💔

The Very last Chapter

Hey guys! It’s been awhile. I think my last blog was when I became Plato. So how are you guys doing? I hope you are doing fine and keeping that smile of yours.

What does the last image about the trees have to do with Rose and her family?

I’ve read a lot of blogs and I found out that people have different opinion towards the image of trees described in this novel. For me, the tree somewhat represent the symbol of survival. The author does mention how one of the trees that survived. The tree also represents Rose which is the main character in this novel where she had to face the environment.

In the beginning of the book, the author shows how happy Rose is with her family and the people surrounding her. However, you can’t have all the rainbows in your life. She suffered a change in environment when she began to discover her talent or powers. Things began to get worst for Rose which depicts how the tree is trying to survive in this wild environment. As time passed, Rose slowly began to appreciate her ability and uses it as a mean to taste the quality of the food. Rose who represents the last tree, manages to overcome her problems and survive the environment which allows her to survive.

How do you interpret the last line of the novel?

The last line of the novel was ‘’Was it so different than the choice of a card-table chair, except my choice meant I could stay in the world and he didn’t?

I think that the last line shows how Rose compare herself with her brother. She always have this mindset where both of them are different but she finally realizes how both of them are actually similar but the choice that she made was different than  her brother where she decides to stay while her brother goes away.

What did you like (and dislike) most about the Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake? and would you recommend it to someone?

To be fair, I didn’t enjoy reading the book unlike the previous book that we read which is The secret life of Bees. There were a lot of flashbacks which makes the timeline a bit confusing. In addition, when Joseph became a chair, I was very very confused, I don’t even know how to react, I was like REALLY?? out of all the ability, the author decides to give him the ability to turn into a chair. There were a lot of conflicts in this book. I had to read the synopsis to fully understand the timeline of the novel.

So yea guys I hope you enjoy my post. Feel free to comment J and please  be nice J.
