Stung By Bethany Wiggins: Summary
My fiction book Stung by Bethany Wiggins is a book about a girl Fiona who wakes up in her house almost completely brain washed. She walks outside and goes through the "wall", which separates two different areas. She meets a boy Jacque, she works with him trying to stay alive from the "beasts". She gets caught by the militia, which is a small community that allows no trespassers, who knows who she is. The person who caught her was her neighbor before the virus went down. The virus was brought when the world tried to make more bees since they were getting killed by animals and insects. So they made the bees stronger, but if you got stung you would soon die so they took so medicine which would slowly turn you into a beast. Her neighbor goes rouge

She was adjustable, when she met Jacque she had to pretend to be boy, she didn’t argue or anything she did what she was told. Jacque said to Fiona, “No one is going to believe you are a boy with those clothes.” (28) He made her change her outfit and made her get dirty so she would look like a boy, he even made her cut her hair. That is an indirect characterization because the author didn’t state out that she can adapt to things easily, the author showed you that with the actions Fiona did, like trying to act like a boy.

The biggest challenge these two weeks for me personally was reading during spring break because to read twenty pages a day is a little tough if that day you can’t read at all. For example on Sunday I went to church early in the morning and then went right to my cousins house for Easter, and then go to another relatives house, which made me get to my house above 10 o’clock so I couldn’t read much during the days that were that jam
