A Spoonful Of Sugar Analysis
A. The tittle “A Spoonful of Sugar” symbolizes diabetes though this chapter is almost all about diabetes and sugar. I believe the author selected this tittle because is something that catch the attention of the reader. When I started to read the chapter, I understood that the spoonful of sugar was diabetes due the high or low levels of sugar that can reach. Additionally, it is also related to the ancestors who survived the extreme cold by increasing their bloodstream and the levels of sugar in their blood in a way related to diabetes, but that was not too dangerous as today.
