"Tss! Why you listen to her? Why you want to follow behind her, chasing her words? She is like a crab...always moving sideways, moving crooked. You can makes your legs go the other way." (P. 208)
Suyuan says this to June before she dies. June was upset about something Waverly and the others had said to her at the dinner party, how she picked the worst crab that was missing a leg. Her mother tell her not to listen to them. That she shouldn't go chasing around what other people say to her. She tells June that they are moving like crabs. They move sideways, going only one direction, having only one point of view, however, June can make her legs go the other way and turn herself around.
