Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit

What do I believe? I believe in God. Ever since I was a young child I went to church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night. I choose to believe in God because when I look at the world around me I know that someone must have created all of it, and with everything that has happened in my life it would have been hard to get through without him. My parents, my friends and the rest of my family shaped my belief in God, I have a mostly religious family. Even though some of my family may fall down every once in a while and lose their path, and they may not go to church every Sunday they still know that there is a God and believe in him. After my parents got divorced I had an ongoing battle with my belief system, my mom stopped taking me to church because she was embarassed to go alone, and because she was to depressed to go anywhere really. For a while I had a hard time believing, I couldn't understand that if there was a god why would he let something like this happen. It wasnt until this past october when my faith became really strong again when my grandmother passed away, she was a very religous follower, my grandfather being a pastor and all. Somehow I knew that her passing away was a sign that I needed to renew my faith.
In the book Oranges are not the only fruit Janette struggles with her mother, and who her mother expects her to be. Her mother always gives Janette oranges and tells her that "Oranges are the only fruit." Janette obviously knows this isn't true therefore the title gives a little bit of foreshadowing saying "Oranges are not the only fruit" possibly saying that there are other things to be discovered, outside of what Janettes mother allows her to come in contact with. When Janette kept saying that men are pigs, and when she kept hanging out with Melanie constantly, as soon as I stopped reading the first half of the book last night I set my book down and told my boyfriend "She is going to turn lesbian." He was obviously confused because he wasnt reading the book I was but i just told him not to worry about it and I would tell him if she did later. So I definetly think the end of the first half of the book foreshadows that she is going to be a lesbian and fall in love with melanie.
