About the Author:

//Social Issue Relevance://
The social issue exemplified in this book would be teen pregnancy. The protaganist, Lucy, becomes pregnant at the age of 17 and is expecting a baby girl at 18. Now being a mother is hard but being a teenage mother is harder. Lucy, unlike her mother who was also upon the curse, has people who help her through the pregnancy. Her adopted parents and her friend Nick are there to support her. Ever her school friends are somewhat supportive. In the book Lucy does keep the baby even though many questions come up about whether she should keep the baby. Teen pregnancy is defently the main social issue in this book. Did you know 1 in 3 women become pregnant before they are 20? Or did you know that America has the highest teen pregnancy in the industry world? Well teen pregnancy is a big problem for the world. Teen pregnancy is definitely preventable and should be taken as a serious issue! Teen pregnancy effects not only the social life of the mother and or father but it also effects the child. At //dosomething.org// they say that girls born to teenage mothers are most likely to become teen mothers themsevles? Also boys born from teenage mothers are more likely to end up in prison? The social lifes of teen mothers are effected but also the education of the mothers is effected. Only one third of teenage mothers recieve their high school deploma. And only 1.5% have a collage degree by the age of thirty. People need to take this issue seriously and help and try and prevent it! //Work cited:// [|www.dosomething.org]

My Dramatization of the Book:
This is Shailene Woodley for the main character because she played a pregnant teenager in the //__Secret Life of the American Teenager.__// She reminds me of lucy because she has that innocent look and kinda looks like the description of Lucy.

I would chose Zach Efron for the character Nick because he is a strong looking guy who looks like the description in the book. I would chose Julie Walters for Lucy's mom, Miranda, because in the book she is very disorganised and in the movie Harry Potter Julie's character she is also disorganized. Also she has that mother look that I think Miranda has.
