The Girl with a Baby

1. My favorite character would be Jane who is the main character of this book. The reason for this is because of how she goes through tough moments and still is able to get through it. For example, how she lost her mother and she is the only girl with the two brothers. Her two brothers are troublemakers who don't care about anything and have dropped out of high school. On the other hand, Jane is a good person who always keeps her grades and has a high reputation to everyone. However, Jane is not a perfect girl who makes mistakes but still learns from them. This would be the reason why she would be my favorite in this book.
2. Qualities of Jane that strikes me as a good characteristic to develop in myself would be how she learns from her mistakes and gets through rough moments in her life. The reason for this is because when I have a test the next day, I stress about it without doing anything that will help me for what is to come. Instead of studying the material of what I need to know, I worry the whole day knowing I have to pass the test …show more content…

If I was an English teacher I would recommend this work because of how you can relate to it. Jane who is the main character in this book is 14 years old which is near the same age as us students. She goes through similar stories in life which make it more intriguing to read. Jane learns that organizing her day with the drama club, homework, and the baby is not an easy task. She learns that she is overwhelmed with everything that is going on in her life. Moreover, she starts to get more comfortable in her new life and appreciates what she has. Instead of yelling at the baby and getting angry at Destiny, she starts to love her baby and tells herself that everything will be alright. This book was not difficult to read but it was a story that teaches you lessons on how to combat problems in your life no matter the size. As an English teacher, I would recommend this work to be for a recreational book

Most of the information is presented in a recessive way rather than a factual statement. Meaning that instead of the author coming out and stating an event or factual evidence they present it in a way that forces the reader to look for it, this is done because some information may not be needed by anyone, someone, or everyone. Lots of information in this book was useful to me in many ways. Reading the story about Melinda has shown me that sometimes, people just need someone to talk to. That even though people may act fine and seem fine they may be very distanced from true happiness because of something that happened in there past, and if they do not have someone that will listen to them then they may allow it to define their future, but, if someone is willing to just listen to them, then they may be able to get past the traumatic event(s) that they are letting define them.

Also, now that she realizes what she could have done all along or what her parents could have done I do believe that this makes her sort of resent her parents in a way because of how she looked back on her life before.. (INSERT QUOTE HERE) But because she soon after starts to work on her novels specifically about her life and how she grew up it further shows her character as a person and how she finds this as a way to sort of cope or really just own up to herself and everyone else about who she really is inside. Not only this but that there are more to people than how they appear to be, we can never truly know someone or assume the way someone lived based on how they've found their

The fact that she can walk away from all those terrible experiences with love for her parents is incredible. Another thing I loved about this book is how it represents her parents, with all their faults, and their poor mentality, at its worst, without anger, or really any judgment, just with the love. If she had been bitter in her description it would not have been as amazing. This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with

I was interested to see how she coped with life after a child’s death. But I feel like I didn’t get a very personal account. The story read more like a written statement than an insightful and reflective interpretation of what happened. Bobbi Gilbert takes you through the series of events paragraph by paragraph, day by day, citing exactly what transpired. This way of writing removed me from the story and I never felt connected to the family the way I would have hoped.
