SUMMARY: A woman reflects on her first love, a man 
she has not seen in years and the father of her first 
child.

COMMENTARY: I found this story to be both touching 
and arousing.  The ending is neither happy  nor 
tragic.  On the one hand, the main character looks 
back with longing and wishes things could have turned 
out differently.  On the other hand, she has not 
allowed her longing for her first love to paralyze her.

It is worth noting that the main character is rather 
young at the time that most of the events take 
place.  She falls for him before she reaches her 
teens.  She loses her virginity while she is still in 
her early teens and becomes pregnant soon thereafter.

It is also worth noting that there are a number of 
run on sentences.  Sometimes this makes it a bit hard to 
determine what the subject and object are.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 8.5 (out of 10)

        - Arousal: 4/5
        - Editing: 4/5
        - Plot and Characters: 5/5

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent

LINK(S): Coming of Age
