Yes, it is more appropriate.
All in all, it is a creative and bi-dimensional topic.

Dear,

Lemons are sour; therefore, they can be interpreted as adversities as well.

How I interpret the topic is that lemons refer to difficulties or miseries. No doubt, lemons are sour and bitter _bitter are adversities. If someone takes lemons as opportunities, these are never thrown, these are not bitter, at all. I have never heard that someone threw an opportunity to someone. Well, we always say, I give you an opportunity, you see. One should look at lexical meaning of words.
Like, he threw acid on a girl. He gave acid to a girl. These both have different meanings. When, unfortunately, if hundreds of lemons are thrown over a man, he gets hurt, he find them difficult. Having gone through difficulties, he has to take lemons, insert sugar and make lemonade. Means, he has to make the best out of the worst.
It is all my understanding, you have right to disagree.

Check my outline.

To me, both the interpretations are equally worthy.
In my opinion, it is not necessary that the word 'throw' is used in a negative sense only.
Rest it depends on the mindset of the examiner. Hope he will examine the topic with broad mindedness.

Yes, that is what I am insisting upon.
It can be treated in both the ways.

Any more opinions?
