What did you think of Tegan’s choices, (her decision regarding Simon’s agreement, working an extra shift before her drive, what she decides to tell Polly and what she decides to hide, how she handles medical advice from Polly). Do you agree with her decisions? Why?

Tegan is young, just 23 years old. I felt for her in that she has no one in the world to help give her solid advice and a helping hand. Of course her choices we not well thought through and emotional. I didn’t understand many of her decisions. But that’s human nature; we all respond to things differently and some actions are more understandable and relatable than others.

I can understand why she works extra shifts being in financial hardship. It reinforces that she will do what she has to do to survive and look after her baby. But she’s got that willful stubborn streak that many young people have that can get them into trouble. I didn’t understand her reluctance to have her foot looked at given the situation she was in that was the one thing I frustrated with her about. But she has a strong fighting spirit, I’ll give her that.

I agree with Denise about Tegan and how she managed her foot. I just didn’t understand Tegan not wanting Polly to take off her boot, especially as time went on. Why wouldn’t she get someone, anyone, to look at her foot, especially if it is hurting badly and she doesn’t know what’s wrong with it? Even if she can’t get to the hospital and is suspicious of what is going on, she had Polly, a nurse, asking to look at it. Tegan just seemed to endanger herself and her baby repeatedly by making poor choices. For instance, I think her choice to light a fire to trigger the fire alarm was initially a clever enough idea, but then she practically starts a bonfire? She was definitely not thinking clearly or too brightly. It was just one of several silly decisions she made that I don’t think can just be excused by age and made her an unsympathetic heroine.
