The Pregnancy Project ( Summary & Character traits)

In my last blog of “ A Memoir: The Pregnancy Project”, I talk about how we meet a girl named Gaby and her complex family. They grew up in a small city in Washington and moved to another city in Washington later in Gaby’s teen years. This book takes place in the present.  Now that I finished the book, I can tell why the name of the book is “ The Pregnancy Project”.  So one day Gaby was assigned a project for her senior year and she kept on thinking about it. What would she do, “ Visit foster kids? Volunteer at an agency?”. Until next class period, Science, they were talking about DNA, genes and babies. That’s when she thought,  “ I would fake my pregnancy.” She decided to tell a handful of people to tell them that she faked her pregnancy . For example, she will tell her mom and her boyfriend etc. So through out the book she records people reaction, how she feels, and how people are treating her differently. Every body watches her belly get bigger and bigger. Then she reveals the truth. What is peoples reaction?

I my book the “A Memoir :Pregnancy Project”, we get introduce to a young girl named Gaby. I think that Gaby is a Brave and Inspiring to the public. I think she is brave because she does something that nobody would ever want to experience. She would have to put up with the sayings that people would tell her. I know this because in the text it said, “It was a lot harder to brush off than I thought. I grew defense it’s a lousy feeling to walk around all day knowing that people are gossiping about you, judging you predicting you have no future because you were stupid. I couldn’t help take things personally. These were my friends.” This shows that it took bravery to fake your own pregnancy. I think that she is also inspiring because she gave the public some very great advice to people who are actually pregnant or have a friend or family that is pregnant and have to put up with this. I know this because in the text it says “ Knowing you might be faced with strong criticism from your peers could have been enough to persuade you not to attempt such a feat, but apparently you recognized the value in such a project and willingly played the role of a pregnant teen in order to draw attention to the plight of many teens who in reality them selves in this really difficult situation.” This shows very inspiring saying that she said for teens with a pregnancy situation.
