The Lesson Reflection - 978 Words

As I was reading â€Å"The Lesson† there was nothing that hit me to the core or something that really stood out to the point where I was in disbelief. Something that came close to it was probably the fact that Harper and Thanh left to a an island for the wedding of a friend when their baby from a surrogate could possibly come at any moment. This was a little surprising because it felt like they weren’t too excited about their baby that they are expecting even though they are paying for it, so it was surprising that they left. It is like paying for college, but not going to class. If I was in their shoes, I would not go anywhere, I just wouldn’t be able to do that, I would be too excited and anxious waiting for my son. Then the fact that the†¦show more content†¦When they left for their friends weeding I was expecting the baby be premature and die while the parents were away, I know it might sound cruel for me to say that, but I was expecting some kind of twist, there is always a twist in short stories so I was expecting one. It is terrific that there was none and Harper and Thanh did have their happy ending after all. I believe the theme is a mixture of not being able to do anything to help out your child or more so be in control. Throughout the story Harper and Thanh werent able to do anything for their child. First they weren’t going to have any control if Naomi were to change her mind and say she wanted to keep the baby, Harper and Thanh would be defenseless to do anything about it. Then the part where there is possibly that the baby can be premature, once again Harper and Thanh cant do anything about it. They cant even help Naomi to improve her chances of not going into labor early, they feel and all they can really do is hope that everything goes as best as possible. And if the baby does come prematurely, they cant do anything about the baby’s health and cant do anything if he ends up dying, as a parent to not be able to help out your child is one of the hardest, if not the hardest things to experience, you feel like you fail them in a way. They didn’t know what to do,Show MoreRelatedLesson Reflection802 Words   |  4 PagesLesson Reflection Spelling Lesson My lesson reflection My lesson was based upon the spelling words for the week.
