The Melting Pot
As I get further into the book, it has gotten a bit more interesting. The suspense has gone up as whether or not Edward will be allowed to go to China and be allowed to come back to Australia. Even though the text is more engaging, I still don't think I am 100% engaged.
The book 'The Melting Pot' does not tell you a lot about the characters so I have made a lot of inferences and questions. Some questions are, why does Elizabeth go with Edward's family if she doesn't like them? (p. 55) and why doesn't the government want Mr Lee back in the country? (p.59).
The thing I like about this book is that you can infer anything so you nothing is really right or wrong. Something I dislike about the text is that it hasn't really hooked me in yet so I am not engaged that much.
On page 117, Edward's life is changed from being the kid nobody wants to play with to being the kid that everyone wants on their cricket team. This happens because he practised every day when he was mad or upset. When he was watching the other boys play the game the ball came rolling to him. Edward picked up the ball and threw it so well, it hit the stumps and all of a sudden everyone wants Edward on their team.
"The Melting Pot" teaches us a lot about the Chinese heritage and their beliefs like Chinese New Year, the man in the moon finding couples and their moon cakes.
