How do the images, characters, and details in Deborah Salazar’s “My Abortion” “carry” the significance of her remembrance? What is Salazar’s purpose in writing the essay? For example, does she write the essay primarily to argue for keeping abortion legal, or does she have another purpose? Is Salazar “easy” on herself? “Hard” on herself? On others? What is her tone? Is it consistent throughout, or does it vary? What is the purpose of Salazar portraying the “bowhead” in some detail? Does her view of the “bowhead” change?
