Dana and her Pepino Melon

Posted on by

Observation 1- My fruit is a pepino melon. It’s a tanish and yellow color with vertical, patchy purple stripes. This fruit is very appealing to me and I feel like it would be sweet if I ate it. I find this fruit very friendly and welcoming. When I hold this fruit, it feels just like a plum, and I love plums. This fruit doesn’t seem crunchy and aggressive like a radish. I feel that it is sweet and friendly.This seems like it would be juicy. Like green grapes or the plum. I also really like this size because it fits right into my hand.

Observation 2- I feel that this fruit has betrayed me. Now it smells very bad and isn’t appealing to me. I don’t bond with this fruit anymore and it’s not welcoming to me. I feel like if I bit into this pepino melon, it would be mushy, not juicy. Like a gross bruised pear. It also has made my backpack smell really bad, so this fruit isn’t something that I want near me or my things. It has a strong, repulsive, smell and isn’t the same as when I first met her. I changed my mind on this fruit, and don’t want to eat it or hold it anymore. The smell and feel of this reminds me of when I go to a produce aisle at a grocery store.

  1. I like how there was a contrast made about the appearance of the fruit, that it does not seem crunchy and aggressive. Also, how each paragraph describes two different points of views on the fruit.

  2. I like how in your second entry you state that your fruit has betrayed you. This really helps show the emotional connection you have made with your fruit over the course of this assignment. I especially like the part where you state that you feel betrayed as this really shows how your viewpoint has changed since the your first entry.

  3. I enjoyed reading the drastic change in emotions when your pepino melon betrayed you with its grossness. I think you had a wonderful relationship starting with it until it started to stink up your backpack.

  4. I wonder how the pepino melon reminds you of the produce aisle. It it a particular smell? Is it when something drops to the floor and gets stomped on by several customers before “cleanup on aisle 5”? I like the description of your melon as fitting so well in your hand. That is a pleasing sensation, I think.
