This is a really
interesting assignment. The way you write it depends on what you think Jig, the , will do after
she gets on the train for Madrid. At the end of the story, it is unclear whether she will get an
abortion or not, in spite of the fact that her boyfriend seems to be urging her to do so. She
has reservations about the subject, but she seems to be leaning in that direction.
When you write the story, you can write the conclusion to this question. Will Jig get
an abortion or not? If she does, how will she feel about it? Will she be able to continue in a
relationship with her boyfriend? If she does not get an abortion and has the baby, will her
boyfriend stand by her? How will she raise the baby? You can go in a lot of interesting
directions with this story.
Be sure to stay true to Jig's personality, which
is conflicted and self-effacing (she tells her boyfriend that she does not care about herself).
Has she grown as a character since the end of the original story? If so, explain in which ways
(for example, has she become more self-assertive?).
