Blake and Bre
Like water for Chocolate is about the life of a young girl Tita. Titas father died when she is only two days old and her mothers milk dried up because of the shock. Nacha the cook took on the role of taking care of the child which is where Tita develops her strong passion for cooking. A young man Pedro comes and ask Tita for her hand in marriage. Mama Elena tells him Tita is not allowed to marry, since she is the youngest child she was to take care of her mother till she dies. Pedro decides to marry Titas sister Rosaura so he can stay close to her. Tita has to live out her days caring for her mother and having to watch her lover be with her sister. There's a huge change when tita goes to live with Doctor John. John begins to have feelings for tita and wants to ask her for her hand in marriage.
So far the book is very interesting and very descriptive. I don’t like that Nacha was killed off so quickly. She played such a big role in Titas life. I feel really bad for Tita, her mother is very mean to her. There's no way I would stay and take care of my mother if she treated me that poorly. I believe Tita should be allowed to marry and should not listen to her mother. The biggest disappointment is when Pedro agrees to marry Rosaura. If he really loved Tita he would have either demanded Mama Elena to let him marry her or he would have ran away with her. To be honest I really hope Tita decides to marry John. John seems like a very good man and he would treat her very well. I also believe by marrying John it will help her get over Pedro.
