This blog post is the focus on my Life-Choice Memoir. This post is going to explain my process of completing this assignment.
This blog post is mainly focused on a couple that has to make a decision on whether or not they want to keep/have a baby that the woman is bearing or unfortunately abort it to keep themselves happy in the relationship.
The girl in the story, I would say is just like any other girl and reacting just like any other girl would if she’s bearing someone she loves baby and the significant other is showing signs that he doesn’t want to have a baby. She shows off as if she’s “fine”, when in reality she’s not. She’ll play along with agreeing with the man hoping that he’ll change his mind. Honestly, as much as she “plays” along with getting the abortion, I’m thinking that she will keep the baby and her and the man won’t be together. They’re both not on the same page whatsoever. I don’t believe she will stay with the man. I am actually going through a “character v. self” conflict right now of whether or not I want to stay in my relationship I’m currently in. We’ve been together for almost three years, but with a lot of ups and downs. I’ve been unhappy for a long time, the relationship doesn’t feel the same, and honestly we’re slowly becoming distant. Do I know what I want to do? Absolutely not. Its kind of hard thinking about leaving someone you love and care about so much to make yourself happy. I feel like its selfish staying with him and me leaving him also for my well being. So currently I am going through a mess of emotions and constantly wondering how and when I’m going to come up with my decision.
The focus of this blog post is about a family who was having a difficult time dealing with their beloved grandmothers diagnosis. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and went out of their way to hide it from her to the best of their ability.
I personally agree with the choice that the family made. They chose to lie to their grandmother for a good cause. I feel like they did it because they loved her dearly and didn’t want to put her through any more stress then what she was probably already going through. I would do that myself with my grandmother. If it kept her happy and giddy I would definitely do it. Elderly people tend to already know that their time is near, as sad as that sounds. But the way that this family handled it and kept it from her just to keep her happy is amazing. Definitely a good tip and or idea to do with a loved one as special as your grandma.
The story, My Name is Margaret is basically about an African-American server who felt mortified and disrespected. The “owner” Mrs. Cullinan and her friend were at fault and Margaret was trying to find ways to get fired so she would never have to see them again.
Margaret wasn’t wrong for what she did to Mrs. Cullinen’s favorite dishes. Personally, I would’ve done the same thing. Mrs. Cullinen was calling Margaret out of her name. Calling her “Mary”.. A racist white lady called her that and disrespected her by calling her dumb and slow. So for Mrs. Cullinen’s convenience she’s just going to change her name because her racist friend says so? She basically took away her identity. So for revenge she took away her favorite dish. I bet that didn’t feel quite pleasant. The time I refused to obey an authority figure was just recently actually. My boyfriend, my mom and I were driving to the outlets in Rehobeth beach, Delaware. We were cruising and all of a sudden we hear and see sirens. It was a police officer. Now, the right thing to do when you hear or see sirens is pull over to the side of the road so they can smoothly get by to get where they’re going. We pulled over and what do you know the cops were after us. Now, my car that my boyfriend was driving isn’t the most innocent looking car around. I have dark tinted windows, black tires it just looks like what one would describe “ghetto”. So he pulls us over and asks for the usual license, registration. We wait about 20 minutes. He comes back and says “it smells fruity in this vehicle.” “has anyone been smoking?” we kindly tell him no. he walks away and about 5 mins later he says “may we search your vehicle?” and I tell him absolutely not. We do not smoke for god sake I have my mother in the car… so we argue back and forth and now we have ticket for “speeding” when my boyfriend drives like a grandpa. That is my story of when I refused to obey an authority figure.
