Internal Conflicts (within a person)

2. She has lost her vigor to live ever since her and Daltons band was disbanded at the peak of their career.
3. She does not stand up for herself.
4. She thinks of giving up her child by leaving her somewhereto be dropped off accidentally at the river or be eaten by the snow leopard at the zoo.
5. She is afraid of Dalton leaving her behind if she cannot keep the baby quiet.
External Conflicts (person vs. another personenvironment)
1. Dalton does not recognize the baby as his. He just calls him it.
2. He keeps on smoking grass, hash or opium, and he always gets drunk. At times, he lets Sunny take drugs even if he knows that she is breastfeeding their baby.
3. After being disbanded, they did not find other means to get back on track by finding even menial jobs. They chose to sulk in their depression.
4. Dalton is a coward. He does not think of his family.
5. Sunny is being waived by these situations. She simply wants to give up.
Freewrite
It is disheartening learning that these two parents forget what their responsibilities are. Though, their group have been disbanded, still they should have gotten up from this loss. Instead of getting hooked into drugs and alcohol they should have thought of rebuilding themselves and start fixing their lives. Thinking of not giving a name for the child even mean that they care not of him. They dont even have plans for the future, instead digging up their own graves even deeper than ever. It was sad but this really happen in our realities.
Theme Statement
Even though life is tough and we will often face failures, we should still dust off ourselves, pat our shoulders, and start taking steps again while looking towards our goals ahead.

My Ending of the Story
As she was busy imagining these things, something caught her attention. She saw an adorable cat. It probably lives at a nearby house, or perhaps lives on the street, she thought. She even gave it a name in mind Meow. But to her amazement, four cute little kittens followed behind. Obviously, theyre Meows babies. One was as white as snow, the second was as black as charcoal, while the other two had gray stripes as in a zebra. But Meows fur has orange spots splattered on its back, she wondered. As she was watching them, she noticed how many times the mother looked back and called the kittens whenever one got distracted. Its as if Meows always checking if its babies were complete, paying close attention to where theyre going.
Sunny smiled to herself, murmuring how sweet the mother was. She didnt even realize that she was closely watching the cat until Meow fed the little ones. Her heart suddenly felt strange towards what she was witnessing. She saw how detailed the mother was in cleaning the kittens, making sure they were satisfied with the milk, not leaving till all was finished. And off they went, who knows where.
What are you thinking Dalton asked.
Nothing, she said again for the nth time.
But she was uncertain of what she was feeling. Hey eyes seemed to be looking for an answer when suddenly, he saw her son. My son, she whispered in her thoughts. How did I turn out to be like this My son... my flesh and blood... Why did your mother become so heartless Her tears flowed endlessly as she picked up the fragile boy. Sunny looked at her poor child as if seeing him for the first time. Her heart seemed to have been alienated of this emotion. This feeling that should have been innate in mans being. A very natural aspect of her nature. LOVE.
You will now be called, Sunshine. I may be named Sunny but I will become brighter than ever, for you are my Sunshine. And from now on, I wont let anything or anyone harm you. Not even you father.
