The Love Of My Life

* Keely is refused in having her baby and is denied to give it in adoption

Many women say that there's no other choice than abortion. Such as they don't have enough money to care for the child, they’re too young to be pregnant, people judging you and telling you that you are too young and that what you did was wrong, or in sad situations they have been raped or impregnated and they couldn’t deal with the emotional stress of caring for the child. If so, Instead of killing the child. You could put the baby up for adoption, care for the baby by yourself, or if you aren't able to care for it yourself, have close family care for the child. The important thing you can learn from making these mistakes is to think about the actions you took and how it affected your life.

The short story “The Love Of My Life” by T.C. Boyle's examines two couples who are imagined to be inseparable and how no love comes closer to theirs. The story follows young high school couples who are in the merge of a bright future. They are always together “wearing each other like a pair socks”. They idolized the love they share is something far from real and it is true love. While Jeremy is set to attend Brown and on the other hand China were in Binghamton things took wrong turn. Over the summer before their going to college they mistakenly conceived a baby while they are at a camping trip. The story was pleasant and everything was green and China and Jeremy went to a trip together and had sex. The couples were so keen to avoid this from

Moments after her husband got home she noticed him acting strange and commanding her to "sit down" repetitiously, and at that point "she began to get frightened" (Dahl 1). He stood there in front of her "He became absolutely motionless, and kept his head down"(Dahl1). He precedes to tell her he had an affair and is leaving her and their unborn baby: to add to this he tells her to keep it on the low because "It wouldn't be very good for my job"(Dahl 2)

Instead of going through with birthing and killing the child right after birth, she decides to give birth

As we saw on the story, the biggest motives that drove China and Jeremy to the decision of getting rid of the baby were highly related to the pressure these facts put on them. We can see how China expressed her fear of being judge “I don’t want anyone to know” (Boyle 559), she was so concerned about letting other people know, that she forgot to think of another reasonable method like adoption. Boyle’s write how China expressed her concerns with having to bring the baby with her to public places like school “I will never, never be like those breeders that bring their puffed-up squalling little red-faced babies to class,” we can see how for her this fact almost sounded as insulting, and she, in fact, was just seeing the situation as most of the people would normally see it. For her having the baby would have implied walking with the proof that she did something that in our society is considered moral incorrect. Later on, we see how Jeremy had the same view on the pregnancy “What are you thinking?

A baby, as we all hoped? Or something else, an Unbaby, with a pinhead or a snout like a dog’s, or two bodies, or a hole in its heart, or no arms, or webbed hands and feet? There’s no telling. They could tell once, with machines, but that is now outlawed, what would be the point of knowing anyway? You can't have them taken out; whatever it is must be carried to term”(143).

Giving up a life because you made a mistake and don’t want to take responsibility to care for it, isn’t rational. There are many other ways to solve this problem, than aborting it. However, if you do decide to abort that baby, you’re not only hurting the fetus, but also hurting yourself. At times when people abort their fetus it has developed, which basically mean they kill a human being. Not many women know the side effect that come with abortion. Abortion can cause many thing likes, damage to the organ, damage to the cervix and an infection.

I think there should be a way out of your mistakes if you want there to be. I don’t think facing the consequences for your actions is always the best thing to do. A lot of people will argue that a baby isn’t a mistake but it is a miracle from god or just a miracle. I agree that babies are beautiful gifts. I also believe there’s a wrong and right time to have a baby. Even though your child was a surprise or an accident and everything for you turned out fine, that’s not always the case for others.

Weather can create many mix of emotions that may confuse anyone. A story that can relate to this is “The Love of My Life” by T.C. Boyle which illustrates the theme of weather and its connection to love. Weather always have some sort of connection with humans’ emotion regardless the person’s situation. In “The Love of My Life” the main characters Jeremy and China show their love through moments of certain weather.

One of my biggest challenges after the birth of my son, was finding myself again. I knew that my personal life would be on the back burner for a some time, but I didn't realize how much of myself I would actually lose in the first few months. When my son

Mothers are just willing to kill a human baby just because they don’t want a child. They

Yeah, I don’t really know what I am doing with myself anymore. When we started dating I was confused and scared. I pushed you away. I know and I feel horrible about it. I didn’t mean to but I just didn’t know how to express my feelings for you and I don’t do well with embarrassment or compliments. And It’s easy for me to get embarrassed when someone I like says something nice to me or about me. Later on I heard that you had done some unfavorable things to people I was close to and I became conflicted. Then my friend told me that he wished for me to break up with you. We talk often about me breaking up with you. People thought that I didn’t really love you, to be honest I wasn’t really sure if I loved you. Then thanksgiving came around and I couldn’t see you or talk to you everyday, so I wished to see you everyday. Though that didn’t come through because I ignored you. Though it wasn’t intentional at first as time passed I was afraid of answering you because I didn’t know what to say. I stopped talking because you insisted on buying me a Christmas gift. Which is a nice gesture but I didn’t want you to buy me anything because I was fine with just having you. The last day we were together Jaden said you were upset with me and I understood why I mean I did ignore you that that hurt you so much. But when you said you would ignore me the rest of the day it made me really upset, Instead of being mature and ignoring that comment since I knew you weren’t going to

Both the mother and the fetus are innocent human lives. Even though the fetus may not be capable of understanding, it is still a life and is dependent upon the mother for life. However, the fetus
