Dancing Naked
The main conflict in my book is what Kia should do with her baby. This situation was the cause of all the main conflict in this book. The first conflict that it caused was weather or not to go through with the pregnancy or to get an abortion. While Derek wanted her to get an abortion Kia was having second thoughts about it. Kia didn’t want to go through with the abortion but she didnt want to tell Derek that because she knew he would never agree to not getting it. Kia made the decision on her own that she wouldn’t go through with it even though Derek would be angry.

The decision that she made not to get the abortion lead to further conflict in the novel. After she decided abortion was not for her she had to tell her parents about being pregnant. Her parents were very upset and disappointed to what had happened to their daughter. Her father didn’t agree with the decision that she made not to get the abortion and wanted her to get one. This caused a new conflict in Kia’s life because she didn’t want to go through with the abortion even thought its what her father wanted and she knew that she was disappointing her parents by not doing it.

After everyone had accepted that Kia was going through with pregnancy she now had a new conflict to deal with. She now had to decide weather to keep the baby or put it up for adoption. While Kia knew that she wanted to keep the baby because it was a part of her in the back of her mind she also knew that she couldn’t give a baby the life she wanted to give it at sixteen. Even with the help of parents and friends she knew that raising a baby would be something that would be very difficult to do. This is the most difficult conflict in the book that Kia had to deal with and she didnt know what to do. Both options would be extremely difficult to live with and she knew both of them would have their advantages and disadvantages. Despite wanting to keep the baby all to herself she knew in the back of her mind that adoption was the right option to give her baby the life that she deserved.

If you were put in this situation who would be the people you would tell first if you were pregnant or if you got someone pregnant? Who would be the people that would most influence your decision about what to do in this situation?

  1. I would probably tell only my closest friend. Then my parents. For sure it would be my parents because they have already had kids, they know how it is and they would influence my decision the most.

  2. If I was put in this situation the person I'd tell first would be my best friend and boyfriend. Then afterwards I'd have to tell my parents. People that would influence my decision about wheather to keep the baby or not would be my friend and boyfriend along with my parents.

  3. I would probably tell my parent's that I got someone pregnant, but no matter what anybody said I would want to have the kid because it’s my mistake not his. But in the end it's not the guys decision, it's the girl's decision.
