I read The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez. The book is about how Gaby overcame stereotypes and expectations put on her when she faked her pregnancy for a senior project as a social experiment to see how her peers would react. I enjoyed reading this book because Gaby wrote in such a way that I would find myself thinking of past experiences that could relate with what she was talking about. After I read, “One of the best things a role model can do is show how to get through the tough times and live a good life despite setbacks and hardships, because nobody gets through this life without scars along the way.” (Rodriguez 206), a lot of thoughts came to mind. One of the first thoughts came to my mind was my role model and how even though he went through a lot of tough times he changed his attitude and lives a good life. I also thought about myself and how even though I might me having the worst day I should always be the best that

Ann Fessler tells about her personal experiences with adoption during the 1950s and 60s in the beginning of the book. The author writes about herself being adopted and dealing with the difficult reality of finding her birth mother. Within the first couple of pages, Fessler says, “My adoptive mother and father were offered very little information about my biological parents.”(2) and “...after forty years of life as an adoptee I was hearing the other side of the story for the first time.”(3). Fessler explaining her past and her personal experience with adoption is one of her examples that give her ethos. Fessler was never given the chance to meet her birth mother which shows again how the lack of control caused these women's situations to worsen. After having the credibility to tell these girls’ stories, Fessler continued to bring the issue to light.
Alexandra Tsiaras came up with a phenomenal way of describing conception to birth in his interview he did for Ted Talk. There were several things and little details that I truthfully did not know happened so fast during a woman’s pregnancy. It amazes me how people can go through with abortion after watching a video like Conception to Birth. Alexandra Tsiara’s visuals on conception to birth show a whole new outline of how fast a baby becomes a human, and that makes it that much more precious.

Sarah, after hearing the news, told Cate that it was our family’s lack of faith—and specifically, Cate’s lack of faith—that caused the baby to die. We did not “claim” God’s healing for Hannah, and if we had done so she would have been born alive. The suffering from Hannah’s death was magnified by Sarah’s assertions, and our family is still grappling with both. It has broken my mother’s heart, caused my father to believe his lack of faith killed his grandchild, and made Cate suffer more than she

Karen Rusa is 30 year old woman who is married to a man named Tony, and has four children with him. She is the oldest of four children in her family and was raised by two parents in New York City. Her parents were also Italian immigrants. Being raised to be a devout Roman Catholic was critical to her parents. She went to parochial school from first grade through high school. The traditional rituals were deeply imbedded in Karen’s life as she grew up. If she did not adhere to the rules from her parents and church, she believed and was told that she would be compromising the safety of her soul and that her wrongdoings would be punished. The way her parents disciplined her was hugely impacted by their religion. Her mother was a cold and rigid person, and often emotionless. Her mother ran a tight-ship around the house, regulating strict rules on cleanliness and routine. The case study made no note of her father and the impact he had on her life. Shortly after high school, Karen married Tony and they became two months into marriage. By the age of 25, Karen had a total of four children.
