"She is like this crab.... Always walking sideways, moving crooked. You can make your legs go the othe way" (pg.208). In this chapter Suyuan and rose were cooking crabs for a big celebration. When everybody came over the would take the best crab available until there were only two crabs left for Rose and Suyuan. One of the crabs was missing a leg, and Rose offered to take it so that Suyuan could have the better one, but Suyuan made Rose take the good crab. At the dinner Waverley and Rose got into a fight about how Waverley was more successful than Rose. The things Waverley said neatly brought Rose to tears. Suyuan told her not to listen to her. She said that Waverley is crooked.
The literary device in this chapter is an onomatopoeia. "I hear the old pipes shake into action with a thunk!"
