while reading the book i saw that Tita was affecting everyone with the food that she cook. You can see that in the second chapter when Nacha is found dead after eating the poison food that Tita cook. Tita’s strong emotions become infused into her cooking. the love that she has for Pedro is Eminence. people should no that once you separate lovers they will try everything so they can be together. And we seethat in the novel.  Tita and pedro always like seeing one another. when ever they had the time to see each other they use their time wisely. Time is love i could say is a good theme because, anytime they they spent together they did what they needed to do with one another. Pedro explored Tita's body like Tita explored Pedro's body. Every time they saw one another it's like their was no one els in the room but them. The only person that could stop them was Mama Elena's voice.

This makes Tita get in trouble because the youguest daughter is not alowed to get married.  Tita questioned her family tradition. she askes her self, who created those rediculous ideas. Well it is just the way it is, yet she Tita wants to change it. Tita's revolt, and the Mexican Revolution, interact with one another. the fact that people want to change government, because they do not like the way it is function, is closely related to Tita revolting on her mother for not letting her marry her lover Pedro. both of them are revolting on things that they do not like. I guess it's the original traditions.

               Since Tita could not get married, Rosaura became engage with Pedro. This shock Tita in alot of ways, she was not able to sleep, she wanted to love him, but it was just forbidden. This would have shock me to if my mom did not let me get married with the girl i wanted.

This book is know for using magical realism. a theme that you mostly see in Latin-American culture.

In this novel it is use in a very interesting way. When we see Tita emotions poured into the food that she is cooking, and the way her mood is effects the people that eats the food. So for example when pedro was getting married to Rosaura , Tita was in a bad mood. while cooking the food, her tears fell inside of the food being cook. her tears affected everyone, and even killed her closest "friend" that gave her the love that her Mom, Mama Elena, could not give. Natcha dies in the second chapter when she eats the food with Tita's cruel emotions. This is an example of magical realism, and it is a very interesting concept to read and understand.
