Response to Christina Ledesma's long story.
I really enjoyed reading Unexpected by Christina. i felt like i was almost in the hospital and in the car with the girl. The description was very life like. I loved the part in the story when the girl is getting ready to enter the clinic and she looks at the Rosary hanging from her mirror and rips it off. I feel like she could emphasise a little bit more on this just because it is such a profound moment and revelation in the story. I also really liked how every paragraph started with "you were unexpected," it made it feel like a poem to me and I really enjoyed reading it that way.
Another part that really caught and held my attention was the very end when you think she is going to go through with the abortion. I thought she acutally would, and the beginning took on a whole new meaning to me because I thought that this was her second child. But then at the very last second, the story twists and you realize she doesn't go through with it and I thought that was written very very well. Overall I really enjoyed reading this story, it captivated me the entire time I was reading it.
