Seems to be an extraordinary emphasis on nature for a book on Singapore. How is nature significant in this world/this text?

On Lizhi and what seems to have made her what she is: Is it going to be changed by her experience/visit to Singapore?  Or will those around her be impacted by her instead?

Observe: I observe that Lizhi's father intended to take Lizhi to Singapore one day.
Notice: I notice that he is not eager to return to Singapore.
Wonder: I wonder what are his concerns and what is putting him off.

Observe: The relationship between Michael and his sister, Mona, seems cold.

Notice: Grandpa is not accepting his grand-daughter, Lizhi, because he is angry that his son did not become a doctor but an artist. Lizhi is a very curious girl who dares to ask questions to feel the ground.
[LY - I'm developing a wonder since this post has only a O and N. Wonder: I wonder what Lizhi feels about the views on what her father should be/should do. Does she feel she has to take sides? What does this mean in terms of the grounds on which she is beginning her relationship with her grandfather?

# data[].attributes.body
OBserve: Lizhi's is aware of his environment
Notice: I notice that Lizhi is very curious and ask a lot of questions

LY - this post is lacking an Observe.  Supplying an observe to round it off:
I wonder whether these traits of hers would make her fit into the world of the relatives she visits, or whether she would feel like a misfit.

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: I observe that Lizhi is asking a lot of questions about the family there are meeting in Singapore.
Notice: I notice that despite all the eager questions from Lizhi, her mother doesn't seem to entertain the questions much other than just brushing it away somehow.
Wonder: I wonder if there is a reason why the mother is feeling this way - why would she be so apprehensive in the last paragraph where she mentions that it's not such a good idea, and yet bring Lizhi to Singapore to meet the relatives.

Observe that lizhi enjoys schooling
Notice :her mother just expects her to read and write
wonder : would lizhi want to perform well in school
LY: This ONW needs a bit more finetuning in terms of accuracy of text ref. Her mom did not expect her to read and write. Reread the text re her father and mother's differing expectations re her schooling and what the y want for her.

# data[].attributes.body
Observe:  I observe that Lizhi's mum not expecting any one to pick them up at the airport
Notice:  I notice that this is something different from my own experience as I would expect my family members to pick me up if i am vising a country after so long.
Wonder: I wonder what kind of family does Lizhi have? How are the family members like?

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: The gardener is very interested in Lizhi and gentle in his interaction with her, asking her many personal questions.
Notice: This is in contrast to what is communicated by Mona who describes him as a psycho and to stay away from him.
Wonder: I wonder why who is the gardener truly and why there are contrasting images painted.
LY: Very good and astute observation. Starts off on right foot in terms of signalling that a mystery is present, or that appearances are not what they seem.

Observe: Lizhi is curious about the meaning of the name of the road.

Observe: Lizhi is curious about the meaning of the name of the road.

# data[].attributes.body
Notice: Based on my knowledge of roads, I noticed it's an area inhabited by farms.
Wonder: I wonder what Lizhi's grandparents do for a living.

Observe:  I observe that Lizhi's mother is very loving and wants to protect her from any harm or hurt.

Notice:  However, I notice that she is willing  to leave her daughter with people that neither she nor her daughter have met and spoken with.  It's more puzzling as she is leaving as soon as she drops her daughter at the Aunt's house.
Wonder: Wonder what could have made a loving and caring mother make such a decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: Lizhi is 10 years old, comes from a mixed parentage family
Notice: For a 10 year old, she seems mature in her thinking; she's observant, tries to rationalise her observations etc.
Wonder: I wonder if this is because of her upbringing; from the diverse cultures of her parents, as well as from the different places where she grew up in

LY - good observation.  I'm extending this wonder just a bit more. How would she see Singapore? And would her views of Singapore differ from ours/mine?

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: I observe that nobody picked Lizhi and her mother up from the airport.
Notice: This is unusual as Lizhi's mum has already informed the family of her flight. [LY: Another notice to push for here to bridge to Wonder - This may show that the family does not their visit.]
Wonder: I wonder why the family does not welcome Lizhi and her mum. [LY: extending this wonder: Why would they not welcome family that they have never met for so long?]

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: I observe that Lizhi's mother insists on her belief that their arrival was expected by the family despite the fact that no one came to pick them up from the airport.
Notice:  [ONW needs to continued, Mag - continuing here] She seems to be reassuring herself and Lizhi that the family knows and welcomes them. I detect some doubt.
Wonder: I wonder what Juliette really feels about the sort of welcome her in laws are giving her? I wonder what she feels about her in laws. Bitter? Or is she still holding out hope? What sort of person is she?

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: While Lizhi is excited to meet the people in the new place, she is also apprehensive. She tries to connect her memories of each relative.
Notice: I notice that Lizhi tries to understand each relative according to what she has been told by her father.
Wonder: I wonder how Lizhi would try to break the ice with each relative.

LY - Extending this W slightly further. I wonder how Lizhi's impression of each relative will change from her direct interaction with them. Will they be still be congruent with what she received from her father's (and mother's) tales?

# data[].attributes.headline
I observe that Lizhi loved memories of her father.

I noticed she wants to know more about her father.
I wonder if she understands why her father did some things before.
LY adding onto this wonder to connect to text: I wonder what she will discover about her father/his past/his place of birth/his family on this trip that will help or change her understanding of her father.

Observe - lizhi’s love of nature
Notice - doesn’t seem to match with her mother’s level of enthusiasm (or lack thereof)
Wonder - how much she takes that from her dad as oppose to mum

# data[].attributes.body
Observe: I observe that Lizhi's father recognises that first impressions are important and yet does not  care about his dressing.
Notice: This seems contradictory .to what I am used to since we are told that we need to present a neat appearance when we wear uniforms.
Wonder: I wonder what kind of man her father is since his thinking does not follow conventional logic.
