The Pregnancy Project part 2

Since my last blog I have a lot more about Gaby and her story. Last week I ended off with reading all about her families passed and how her dad isn't really apart of her life. When I started reading I read about a few more memories one of them being about when Gaby turned 15 years old. Gaby is Mexican so her family is traditional, so when a young girl turns 15 in their culture it means their entering womanhood. To celebrate this, the family has a huge party for the girl, this is called a quince in spanish. Its kinda smilier to a sweet 16 but its when the girl turns 15. Anyway, when Gaby had her party she talked about how her dad said he was going to show up but ended up showing up at the party the latest. After her quince she ended up going out with this guy named Jorge, he was a senior when she was a freshmen. When Gaby became a freshmen, Jorge had to stay back a grade because he didn't get to graduate because of his grades, so him and Gaby began to date. Finally the point I am at now Gaby is a junior planning her senior project. She gets an idea about faking a pregnancy because of all her siblings pasts and since everyone is expecting her to get pregnant just like her sister Jessica, she thinks it will be a fun experiment. I will keep reading and find out what happens to Gaby and Jorge once the word starts spreading about the "pregnancy."

While reading the book the pregnancy project I found an again and again kind of writing. Gaby keeps mentioning her siblings pasts and she keeps telling herself that people expect her to get pregnant just like her older sister Jessica. I think that because Gaby has this in her head of the idea that everyone expects her to be pregnant, that she will be okay with what people are going to say once they find out she's pregnant. I feel like if I was in Gaby's position I would still be getting hurt by what people say about me, and especially if its behind my back. In my opinion I infer that later in the story the words will end up getting to her because no one likes to be talked about. However, I also infer that since Gaby has support from her true best friend, boyfriend, and mother, I do infer that she will be strong enough to handle whatever comes to her. By that I mean I think Gaby will be able to handle the rumors going around and she will show prove them wrong about stereotypes when she tells everyone that the pregnancy was a fake.
