Girl In Translation by Jean Kwok


This is the cover page of the novel that I read. Even though it was simple, but for me it tells me a lot  meaning. The blue color of the background shows the color of inspiration, sincerity and spirituality. Same as the main character of this novel, Kimberly Chang who moved from Hong Kong to New York. A pencil on the girl's hair represents that she is a hardworking person, eager to find knowledge and intelligent student. Kimberly is very good when dealing with numbers and often get the highest mark in her class. As for the tangled hair, it somehow represents tradition. Living in New York city does not mean that she must to follow everything that happened in her surrounding. Her mother always teach to be polite and practice Chinese tradition in their life.
