I found that Bettina Sack-Gallup’s article, “I didn’t let you” was very emotional yet extremely moving. Fear and danger had always been something parents always want their children to stay away from and never experience. However, Bettina does an exquisite job of highlighting someone’s need for answers, which can be the catalyst of finding out something that parents have been trying to protect you from. Additionally, she also includes how the brain can be either your best friend or your enemy. The brain can persuade you into making a certain decision, even throughout the story, Bettina explains “and a little package that Armando had put inside... I didn't like that package” (Sack-Gallup). This quote explains her purpose of how in the heat of the moment, you won’t speak your mind in fear of making matters worse, and “(she is) the reason you don’t make bad decisions, and (she) likes when you listen” (Sack-Gallup). The mind will always help you whether you agree with it at the moment or not. Thank you Bettina Sack- Gallup for explaining and showing the deep understanding of how the brain can truly save us from the unimaginable.
