TRAVEL TRACER
The story's settings include a house, an office, a restaurant, a mall, and a church. The event took
place during the 21st century. The story begins in Jessica's house, specifically in the kitchen. It
appears in lines 5–14 of paragraphs 1-2. She attempts to make sense of the information swirling
about in her head. Including the news that she is having a child and the things; she can see in
the newspaper that is placed next to the toast plate.
The key events took place at work, as can be seen in paragraph 12–17, line 19–41, where she is
speaking with Pocholo about its forecast of an earthquake signaling the end of the world. At the
same time, we can observe in paragraph 19, lines 46-47, that she is also wondering if she might
question Wilma about the address of her abortionist. The critical events at the mall are also
described in lines 15–27 of paragraphs 37–38. She expresses her concerns about punishment,
saying that she has been such a good girl, too, until recently, so she would probably get extra
punishment for being such a disappointment.
On the other side, she creates a mental list of the benefits and drawbacks of having the kid in
paragraphs 39–40, lines 29–41. The pro includes her mother's intuition; the con consists of the
burden, the social stigma associated with childbirth without a husband, and her paranoia.
In the end, the story takes place in Jessica's home, where it also starts. Lines 35–38 of
paragraph 72 demonstrate it. She concluded that perhaps the signals Pocholo and his aunt had
noticed were accurate. She reflected on a terrible time it must have been to be born just as the
world was about to end. She also feels that a mother should not plan to have her child removed
when everything is working against her.
