Salvador Dali once said "Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings." This symbolizes that having ambition for something your passionate for but not using your intelligence takes you no where higher than where you should be standing. The quote speaks for itself it states its point without having to think to hard, its motivational and Intellectual meaning speaks for itself. This can be clearly seen in The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez. Gaby proves that she wants to be more than just want people expect her to become, so she takes her ambition to the next level and takes on a huge project where she fakes a pregnancy, she keeps attending school even if she is "pregnant", and she manages to keep going through her "pregnancy" project even though she gets caught up in her emotions.
Good opening sentence Becky. Sentences are clear, and you correctly underlined the title of your book. Review the commas, and see if some might need to be periods. For example, "The quote speaks for itself...." You have a run-on sentence there. Does "the quote speaks for itself" mean you agree? Make this clear. However, you did not use "I" in your paragraph, which is positive. I can see one point in your last sentence, which is that ambition leads to her faking a pregnancy. My suggestion would be that you break the "faking" up into three smaller points or that you give two more examples of the way ambition affects Gaby to create a strong thesis. Great start Becky!
