You could come up with a possible message or deeper meaning, but it’s not a for-certain kind of thing. When looking at the other books required such as “To Kill a Mockingbird” or “The Crucible,” there are clear messages that weave throughout the story such as racism or the dangers of a hypersensitive society. It takes it too far to a point where it’s not relatable,”said senior Brooke Stough. “Like Water for Chocolate” gives a poor and false representation of romantic relationships. It’s a simple concept - a strict mother won’t allow her youngest daughter to get married - however, it is muddied with strange over exaggerations and bizarre twists. The premise of the book revolves around a forbidden romance during the Mexican Revolution. That one being “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel.
