Blog Post #5
Well hello there I'm writing about Hills Like White Elephants (Ernest Hemingway), its about a couple who has found out they are expecting a child, but they are deciding if they want to keep the child. As a reader it is very hard to understand what the subject was, nonetheless the women in, Hills Like White Elephants (Ernest Hemingway) wanted to keep the child because she believes the child need to be alive. she felt as though it was a lonely choice to choose against a life. while the father does not really understand what is going on in the women's head because, she seems to switch up her words but in a sneaky way he kept asking for the women to get and abortion. The women would not do it. It is important to let you know that life should be supported, but a woman does have a choice in that matter because its her body. so it was important for the father to support her choice. it seems like the father knows he had to be at least reasonable for he had to decide how to grow up. If he does not want to support the child I think he could have suggested other options than killing the child. Maybe adoption could have been another option. It is important for a child to be able to trust their parents and if you are going to extremes without thinking of all the options then you might get tangled in unseen circumstances. I am glad they might be heading in a route of responsibility because they have to grow to understand how to hold the child down, until he has grown up, even though tensions are high it is necessary that they could take responsibility for their baby. Well the situation could have been better all together but the world is no longer perfect, so the had to work on it. I think they are going to compromise a lot, but they will make it work. There was a time when I had to choose if I wanted to live in America or stay in Cameroon. Cameroon where my family is and where my mother resided with my vincula that makes my identity, I thought if I could expand my views and become more desirable in the competitive economy that is in America, I could earn more than what the African currency would pay me,At the time I needed to get a permanent card and that time was the perfect opportunity. I was able to go get my passport and prepare for my new adventure that was in the near future. So as a 7 year old in the 3rd grade I thought I have a chance to see what America was like, how another continent would act and behave, and how the growth will prepare me to give back in the future. It is important to give back and show that there is more to than just yourself and it is not just money because that is just a material object. The thought of coming to America was so exciting it blinded me from the fact that I had to leave and stay miles away from my parents in hopes of getting a citizenship for my parents.

Zion, for decades the United States has been in a debated about is it the woman choice to decide if she wants to have a child or not. Does the woman have the right to have the child even if the father does not want the baby, or does she have the right to terminate the pregnancy if she does not want the child, but the father does.

wow that's a very difficult decision that you had to make at only 7 years old. To leave your parents and not get to see them on the regular like most children is hard...... I cant even imagine the way your parents must have felt because I cant imagine being without my children but i do understand your circumstances were different and the best decision had to be made
