2. In what ways does tang/fruit treasure serve as a symbol for Li? To Li Tang is a symbol of the more luxurious Western lifestyle. It was popular and expensive which meant being able to afford it was a sign of wealth. 3. What does Li seem to learn from her short-lived crush on the neighbors son and from the dialog between their mothers? How do you interpret her realization that every dream ended with this bland ordinary existence, where a prince would one day become a man who boiled orange peels for his family? She seems to learn that while things may seem great, they are usually hiding behind fake luxuries and grandeur. 4. What dominant impression does Li create of Tang and of her childhood longing for it? Does she state this impression in a thesis statement or is it implied? I feel she thinks that her childhood lust for Tang was silly and whimsical. There was no emotional depth behind it.
