Fever



The story, Fever, is based on the author'slv lfe during her journey through college. She atens Indiana University College and there she makes fiends, one in particular she extremely admires at first glance, named Stacey. She buries the thought of liking a female deep down as far as she possibly can. The author is aware of the fact that she is only attracted to girl and the thought of anyone finding out scares her to death. By that, she forced herself to conform with the norms of society by flirting with guys and even having boyfriends just to keep the appearance. Her crush on her friend Stacey only grew, but she continued to hide it. The more they saw each other around campus, the more they hung out together alone and that friendship grew more than just being friends. They both kept their relationship secret to protect themselves from being outcasts so they continued to see each other secretly.

They both care and loved each other, but they both still continued dating guys just to be safe that their secret wouldn't come out or be any suspicious. Stacey absolutely didn't an any of it to be exposed so she kept a steady boyfriend, but this time, it was different because she got engaged. The engageme was an approach to end the relationship she had with the author because she was afraid of being who she really was and what others would say or think.

I like that the story was full of emotions and very descriptive epecially because it's about the narrators own love lif. It was unique considering the fact that authors don't usually come out of the closet and write about their sexual orientation, especially when it's still an issue many people are not so open to talk about. I enjoyed the story and give you props for being brave enough to put this story out.

Ammunition: Information that can be used to attack or defend a claim or argument or viewpoint

Revelation: The act of revealing, disclosing, or discovering to others what was before unknown to them


Quesions that I have regarding the story is, did Tweey or Joann have any suspicions between what was happening with you and Stacey? Did Stacey eventually follow through with the wedding with Ned?
