Ok, firstoff, this story was way better than the last one we had to read. There is not even a comparison. I actually wanted to read it without falling to sleep, first of all. Second of all, it was about an interesting topic.
The situation was of an 18-year-old pregnant girl living in 1958 America. Much different than what it would be like to be a pregnant 18-year-old now, which is what made it so interesting.
The story was everything that layed between the lines. And in this piece, that was alot.
The main character had gotten married at a very young age, and she and her young husband were trying to make their way through college. Meanwhile, she was trying to follow up on her own dreams, while deciding where to place the other peoples' dreams in importance...how did her husband's and upcoming son's dreams compare to her own? How could she live and deal with all of this at such a young age?
The story goes on to describe more about her childhood, and her mother's as well, how her mother was an unwanted child.
The end made me really want to hear more on the subject. She said that she wanted the baby, when she could have given it away. But there was hesitation there. She still didn't know how she was going to live with her husband's dreams, her son, and balancing all of them together while still going to college. She wanted to be a good mother, the way her mother had been, growing up a country girl in Montana. It was a pretty interesting story, I enjoyed it. I really wish there was a part 2 to elaborate what would happen next.
