Shoking Moment

I am reading November Blues by Sharon M. Draper .November took a deep breath and looked directly at her Friend. "I'm pregnant," she says.November and Dana are in Novembers living room after November skipped school and found out she was pregnant and Dana and her are talking about Josh's death and November tells her that she never really loved Josh. they keep talking about Josh and how he was and why November was still with him. This means allot because November had just found out she was pregnant by her now dead boyfriend Josh and the first person she tells is her bestfreind Dana. Since November is like her moms perfect princess she does not want to break her mothers heart by telling her shes pregnant it would kill her mother. November is just 16 and does not think shes ready to have a baby and be a mother.    

connection

this book reminds me of another book that i am currently reading, their both about a girl who accidentally gets pregnant and their both missing a special guy in their life that has died that could have made life easier if they were there. have i experienced something like this?no.has something similar happened to me?no. a family member of mine can relate to this story though, she was pregnant and didn't tell no one like autumn did and then she secretly had her baby and gave it away like autumn sort of did.

teardrops

this image reminds me of autumn and all the tears that she cried first because her dad, grandma,and Caspar died then because she was alone and couldnt get an abbortion anymore after she spaced out and she had no more family left and at nights she would talk to her dad and she would cry. she would cry alot when she thought about that she didnt know what to do with her life or what the good decisions where.

part of the solution

"But.... I've been reading about adoptions and....cant i just stay here wit you and penny until the baby is born/ and then you can have my baby?"
 this is where autumn tell Nikki the idea that she would like her and penny to keep her baby and like she feels lonely and Nikki is the last person shes known for along time from being her volleyball coach and she would feel safer if the child were in Nikki hands and if she stayed there till the child was born. Her dad always told her to be part of the solution not the problem and she thought that a solution would be that she gives her baby to good hands someone who really wants a baby and that she can trust. instead of just crying and not knowing what to do and having her life ruined she prefers making Nikki,Penny, and her happy as a solution.

time for truth

"I'm pregnant. The baby is due in February. It's a girl. I didn't tell you at first because I planned to have an abortion and i was afraid you'd try to stop me. then there was all of that time after the accident when i was not thinking straight. When i woke up from that, it was too late to get an abortion. No way do i want a baby right now,and even if i did , i couldn't possibly give it a good life. I've already signed the adoption release forms. Right now, I'm staying with the people who will be adopting the baby. they r very nice people . some time today or tomorrow you'll get some information from the adoption consultant, and there will be a release form for you to sign. i wanted you to hear about all of this from me, before the letter gets to you. i'm sorry i hurt you,i never meant to. your friend-autumn."
 this is the part where Autumn tells Jason that shes expecting a baby that's his and after keeping it a secret from everyone and telling a person one at a time with explanation she decides to tell him because she has no choice because he needs to sign the release papers for the adoption to be able to process and after hes moved on from Autumn its easier on her because she wont want to keep the baby. Jason doesnt believe her that its his so he ends up signing the release forms anyways.

gone forever

"i'm very sorry" he says. He takes a long, deep breath. "Your father's car was hit by a gravel truck at the intersection of Live Oak and Spruce. Your father and grandmother were killed instantly."
 this is a very important quote because this is when Autumn finds  out that her only family left has died and she played her volley ball game through out the whole accident and she has no family left. she felt lonely with no one left and shes pregnant . she would have to raise her baby alone and the worst part is that she never told her father or her grandmother that she was pregnant.

ill come back for you

"I've had to say some sad goodbyes to my family-goodbyes that cant be followed by hellos. But you, Baby, before you know it, we'll be saying hello again. We've got goodbyes, but we've got plenty more hellos coming up. I'm going to be happy about that. You can be happy about that, that too."
This is an important quote in the story because Autumn had told her baby that she didn't love her and when she was born she realized she did and told her she loved her and one day she will come back for her. shes lost loved ones and cant say hello again but she tells her there will be plenty of happy hellos to come. i think that means alot coming from her because first she gives her baby for adoption but then she realizes she would have wanted to keep her but she knows whats best for her.

heaven?

"well...truth is, i really dont know about heaven, but here's something i do know. your mom will always be in my heart, and in your heart, and her happy loving spirit will see is through. hold her in your heart,kid."pg.97.during autums coversation with her dad while she sleeps she asks her dad about her mom in heaven, about how heaven is,she asks "are there angels playing on harps?" he explains to her in an example of the yellow submarine. i think autums doing good in over coming her sadness and instead of turning insane like i would she calmly talks to her dad at night or in dreams.
