Sex and the Sickbed
I really loved this piece. Jennifer Glaser's voice is so real and honest. I love the subject matter and the way she presents it, kind of just giving us the facts with little emotion at first. I like that she didn't try to make it too mushy or a "tragic love story;" she just presented us with a story about something that can happen in life. It made me feel more empathy for her than if she had dictated how I should feel. This story really paints a picture of young love that's refreshing. The story was so sad too! :(
When your lover dies, it is the body as much as those intangible qualities of the personality that you miss.
1. What was her relationship with Neil like before he was diagnosed with Leukemia?
2.
*I'll add more questions later.
