makes it very clear that Missy (Taylor), did not want to get pregnant,

like all the rest of the girls in Pittman County. In fact it was the last

thing on earth that she wanted. Funny thing about that I guess, in that

the last thing on earth that she wanted to happen to her, happened to

her. After all those years of not having sex, and not wanting to get

pregnant, and after all the precautions she took, she ends up with

Turtle, and now she is just like all the other girls in Pittman County.

Tayor had a goal of not becoming pregnant and it definitely was

reshaped when Turtle was given to her.

The author shows commitment to Taylor's goal by stressing

abstinence, and all that other no sex stuff, but the main commitment

shown to Taylor's goal by the author, is when Taylor leaves Pittman

County. All the other kids wanted to party it up and spray paint "Class

of 75" on the water tower, but Taylor had a different plan. While she

was working she had saved enough money, on top of help paying for

enables her to achieve her goal. Her initial goal was not only

Esperanza, Estevan and many more people who eventually Taylor

break, and this becomes key in the reshaping of her goal.
