Why does Taylor pull away from Turtle? A. She feels guilty and afraid. B. She is disgusted. C. She thinks it will help Turtle recover. D. She believes it is good luck.
Taylor finds out from Cynthia (the social worker) that since she does't have a legal claim to Turtle the state of Arizona could take it away from her. She blames her self for what happened to the turtle in the park and believes that she isn't an adequate to be a parent. Like the turtle she protects her self in the shell denying any responsibility to people other than her self.
