The Unborn

and white... there was no shade and no trees… On the other side, “were fields of grain and trees.” These opposing landscapes symbolize the contrasting options available to the couple. The dry side of the valley represented the choice to abort the unborn child and continue with an empty life filled shallow experiences, “(looking) at things and (trying) new drinks.” The fertile side of the valley represents the life the woman desires, one filled with family and meaningful moments.

Consultations and Assessments The nurse will be consulting with the midwife to see what the options are for the unborn child and the mother as she’s 18 weeks pregnant and there may be a possibility the foetus can survive. The usual steps to take when there is a baby scare is an ultrasound to determine whether there is still a heartbeat, so the midwife will need to

ends the poem with, “Believe me, I loved you all./ Believe me, I knew you, though faintly, and I loved, I loved you/ All” (Brooks “The Mother” 31-33). Society has this perception that abortion directly correlates to a mother’s lack of love for the unborn child. In this poem, Brooks argues that that is not the case. In this instance, the

According to a news article from CNN news, Chris Creekmore and Leslie were a couple from Arkansas who were soon to become parents. However, a very unfortunate event occurred; Leslie contracted the flu virus and had a miscarriage (Payne and Landau). Along with their unborn child, Leslie and

“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” (Ernest Hemingway) How do the poets you have studied explore the challenges of life? Each poem explores different challenges, as well as different solutions, but struggles with identity and death are superior as they are evident in all of the six poems. Each poem introduces different aspects to these themes; “prayer before birth” explains the fact that death may be better than life. The poem “once upon a time” view of death is

I’m pro-life for the obvious reason people are pro-life...I believe the unborn child is a life and the most vulnerable and innocent of human beings at that. As a living being an unborn child would have an individual right, like the rest of us, to live and must rely on us born folks to protect them.

The American is bent towards Jig’s abortion, and thus Jig is caught up in an internal battle of whether she will please her man or if she will choose life for her unborn child.

The short story was later published as a collections of short stories called “Men Without Women”. Ernest Hemingway had strict concept of masculinity and femininity. This is evident in the personalities, demeanor and portrayal of the two main characters, the American man and his girlfriend “Jig”. The portrayal of the male character as well travelled, well-educated, and

Although it is not stated, alcohol is known to have negative effects on an unborn fetus. Perhaps at this time Jig already views the baby as dead (Katy 2008). Later the two are drinking alone. The girl is sitting at a table and the man at the bar. This symbolizes that the couple could possibly have went their separate ways (SparkNotes
