Son

• Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?

Pages- 1-45

I do think that the title fits with the story  because one, The main character starts off as a birthmother but after a mess up with the first birth, she is suspended and sent to work with the fish. Secondly, the main character "Clair" is looking and trying to find information about the baby she gave birth to which was a boy.

Let me go more in depth. When we start off in the book, Clair is talking to other birthmother about the first birth. When the time finally comes, Clairs first birth encounter a mess up and is sent away. This matches the title because the only way to have a child is to give birth. Clair gives birth to a boy and does not want to leave hime. Her son is what she wants and that is why it matches the story.

Lastly, The story matches the title of Son because Clairs birth product is a boy. She knows it is a boy because when Clair is called down to the office and told that she is being stripped of birthmother, Clair asks, "What about my birth product?" The head elder of the birth mother announces that he is fine. Although she is not happy she said the gender, Clair knows that her child was her son.
