HW 40 - Insights from Book - Part 3

You find yourself at a cocktail party with the author of the book you just finished reading. To demonstrate that you really read it, you say, "Hey - thanks for writing a book that doesn‘t only talk about the authors experiences, it actually talks about other woman’s experiences with birth. Your (thesis/core argument/main idea) These birth stories told, by the woman were life changing moments, this made me think twice about birth because I have always seen birth as pain, I never thought about it as a wonderful experience for a woman to see her creation.(moved me/persuaded me/made me rethink pregnancy & birth)." different types of ways and methods woman use to feel comfortable before giving birth to the baby. It also has different ways woman in the 19^th century gave birth to feel which way they felt was the most comfortable. And last the book also talks about what methods hospitals might use to help the women get rid of pain. , which (added another angle to/connected back to/further developed/contradicted) the first 2/3rds of the book. But let me be more specific." And then you listed the top 3 ideas/pieces of evidence/insights/questions from that final third of the book (and somehow even listed page number references).
But the author, surprised to be talking to someone who instead of sharing their own birth story actually rephrased the main idea of the text they spent months giving birth to asks, "Really, which parts were most effective or important for you?"

At this point, realizing that s/he's having a unique conversation with a serious reader of her/his book, the author asks - "But what could I have done to make this a better book - that would more effectively fulfill its mission?"

Given that aim, and your book, the best advice I would give for a 2nd edition of the text would be,

*Black is me, Blue is your writing from blog*how women from different culture and how they were taught to approach birth. And to also get their birth experiences while giving birth if they had any. But I don't want you to feel like I'm criticizing. I appreciate the immense amount of labor you dedicated to this important issue and particularly for making me think about while a women is in labor or in pain and they receive medicine, does the medicine harm or do anything to the baby while in the womb & was the women in any pain after the birth was over(as specific as possible). In fact, I'm likely to do is think twice when I see a pregnant, don’t just think that they are going to have a baby, actually remember this and hope that they have a healthy baby. differently as a result of your book." The author replies, "Thanks! Talking to you gives me hope about our future as a society!"
