Make Lemonade
By: Virginia Euwer Wolff

How does it feel to leave your best friend? or when they have to leave you? Its a very hard decision, sometimes. Sometimes you are forced to leave them, and sometimes they are forced to leave you. It makes a big difference in your life, it impacts it. I experienced it, but i actually couldn't care less and i don't regret it all because, she didn't impact my life at all. She was just, a person, who wanted to ruin it? When your really attached to someone  you don't want to leave them, no matter what. It is a decision you have to think hard about. In the book Make Lemonade, they main character experienced it.

A fourteen year old girl named La Vaughn, needs to work, go to school and save money for college and she needed to get out of America,her mom supported her, she needed a job for that. She decides to babysit a lonely teen age mother named Jolly. Jolly had two kids. Jeremy and Jilly. Jolly loves her kids with everything they have, but the environment they live in is disgusting. No proper food, no education, and no going outside of the world at all. They have a terrible living. The beginning is fine, where Jolly goes work and La Vaughn baby sits the kids after school, and she works very hard, to finish her homework in time and babysitting, she has confidence in her self because she was a polite girl. La Vaughn gives Jeremy and Jilly lemon seeds, but they never sprout. Jolly could afford to pay La Vaughn for her escape and for herself. La Vaughn and Jolly become good friends. But then La Vaughn realizes that Jolly, cant escape. She had no education, she was completely illiterate, and she has no family, she can go to. She cant take the welfare charges, they will take away her children. La Vaughn Baby sits Jeremy and Jilly for free. La Vaughn Persuades Jolly to go to school since she lost her job. La Vaughn works hard for the kids, she even uses her own money for their clothes. But over all La Vaughn works hard for them, and so does Jolly, but La Vaughn Still needs to get out of the inner city. In the end of the book, La Vaughn leave the job with Jolly since there is a day care in her high school.

In the end of the book, Jolly tells a Vaughn that the lemon seeds she gave Jeremy and Jilly, had sprouted. and then the book ends. That part pretty much summed up the whole story, in the beginning, it wouldn't sprout because of the problems, and in the end, when they succeed the lemon seeds sprout. That explains the tite, and i think the author used the lemon seeds as a story board, which was a really good idea. And it was a great way to end the book. Throughout the whole book i was confused with the name "Make Lemonade" and the end gives away alot. When i first saw the book, i thought it would be about a girl who makes lemonade for college, but it was different. Virginia Euwer Wolff is a clever writer! I would reccomend this book to everyone in my class, its a GREAT book!
