Devon Davenport

The only thing that has been bothering me about After is how Devon can not remember anything about the night she gave birth. I mean with that much pain I would have remembered something. But then again I was not in her shoes. I have no idea what was going on in her life before she gave birth. She may have had a black out during birth. Something must have snapped once Devon went into birth. Sometimes a lot of stress can make a person black out. Maybe that is what happened to Devon. I'm doubting that the father of the baby ever knew that Devon was pregnant. Devon probably didn't even know. She played sports and was very fit, Girls who play sports a lot and work out may have irregular periods. Devon may have not known until the night she gave birth. I think that she was very confused and just blacked out to cop with everything. I feel bad for Devon because she had to go through that experience alone and not know what was happening to her. I also think that while she was blacked out she cleaned up the "mess" that was made and the baby was apart of that "mess". Once she was arrested and alone to think, she was able to make some sense of what happened. I believe that Devon had a mental breakdown, which explains why she threw away her baby. If there is any explanation for throwing away your child.

  1. I can tell your feelings about Devon are changing as you are learning more about her situation. I can't understand it, either. I do know that the mind is very powerful and able to suppress unpleasant memories.
