Creative Response C: Letter to the main character

Dear Melanie,

It seems like you are going through a pretty rough time in your life right now. Especially after the homeless man trying to hurt your neighbor. I think it was very brave what you and Sean tried to do. Being pregnant and still helping to save Sean's life after he's on the ground bleeding was very brave. You may have risked the babies life in order to save his. I think that shows how you view your relationship with Sean. You obviously love Sean very much, and I think after the incident Sean realized this and there was some kind of moment of grace in that. Now that all this is over, I think that it would be a great time to tell Sean about the baby. I understand that you don't think it is the right time because he is still in school, but I don't understand how you can hold back from telling somebody you love something that important. My advice to you would be to tell Sean and see how he reacts. Hopefully it is positive but if not, then just speak to him about it. Your relationship should now be strong enough that you can talk about this without holding anything back. Some other advice I would give to you would be to open up to each other more. I know that is easier said than done, but maybe if Sean knew how you felt about certain things then he would understand why you feel the way you do. For example, if you didn't like that presentation about human life and how are lives really don't matter, then maybe let him know about it. It doesn't have to be an argument, but I think a little bit more honesty will help your relationship. Finally, I really do hope you tell Sean about the baby. As a couple it is something that you should be proud of, and not trying to hide. Maybe it will help open up your relationship a little which will make things a lot easier. Best of Luck and let me know how it turns out.
