The Bean Trees, Illuminator, Kortney Mann, Period 1, last post
I chose the a passage from page 284-290 which is chapter 16:Soundness of Mind and Freedom of Will. So in this few pages The 4 of them go to The Offices of Jonas Wilford Armistead, in Oklahoma City. Here they go through the paperwork and Esperanza and Estevan put on a good show like Turtle was actually their daughter. They cry and tell a very convincing story about why they cant keep Turtle anymore, so they are giving her to Taylor.
I choose this becasue all throught the blogging we were asking questions about if Taylor would keep Tutle, or if she would be a good parent to Turtle, and now she is legally adopting Tutle. Yes, Estavan and Esperanza are not her real parents and they posed as her parents, but the paperwork is done and Turtle is now Taylors. So what some of thought about Taylor keeping Turtle is true. With everything that has Happpend to Taylor including leaving hime, meeting Mattie, Lou Ann, Dwayne Ray, Estevan, and Esperanza. Also with Turtle getting attacked at the park while she way with Edna, and the whole situation with Estevan and Esperanza.
Do you think that Taylor Made the right desicion to adopt Turtle and help Estevan and Esperanza? Should Taylor have done things differently with everyhting that she has been through?

I think Taylor made the right decision in adopting Turtle because Taylor was a really good mom to her in the first place and Turtle had already lost her real parents so being taken to another new hoe would make thigs worse for Turtle. With helping Estevan and Esperanze, I think it was great that she would help her friends out so they would not get arrested and take them to a new home, risking her own life in the process of doing so.
I don’t think Taylor should have done anything dfferent because even with the mistakes she made, everything has turned out okay. Also, that it’s not like she can go back and change anything now that the things have happened.
