Love and Sex (Symbols)

OK, don't judge a book by it's cover, or title. No, this book is not perverted, actually it gives a lot of lessons on life and gives you an example on how you should handle things, especially girls. In one of these short stories, a girl gets pregnant from a guy she's been dating for a year. But the thing is, she doesn't even love him. He's just too perfect. So when she finally decides to break up with him, she finds out she's pregnant. At this moment she is shocked and doesn't know what to do. So after talking to her aunt, she decides to have an abortion. This is the symbol in my story. Abortion. It is a word that many dislike, or maybe even hate. Some might don't know what to think of it, it seems like such a good way to get rid of something that you wish had never happened, but, it is also killing. It is the symbol in my story because it represents that shock that a person has to get in life in order to mature. It is that thing that makes you want to change and that sets you straight in life. I believe that every single adult in this world has had to go through something that changed them forever. For many women, this shock might have been abortion. After Cassandra, the girl in my story, had an abortion, her life changed a lot and her personality too. She might feel regret for aborting and not even telling her ex-boyfriend about it, but what does he know about abortion? He's never going to have to go through it and he's not the one who would have had to not go to college and stay with the baby. Maybe, this was the right thing to do.
