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. Another indirect characterization is when she very caring for others. When her neighbor wanted to risk his life for her she always disagreed because she never wanted anything bad to happen to him. A direct characterization is when one of the government members put a wanted sign that they would give a reward if someone brought her to them. It stated “Wanted, Fiona Tarsis, Female, Age 17, 5’11”, blond hair, brown eyes, and level 10.” (148) The government directly stated how tall she was, what her age was and other things without you having to think like the other
That is not really more or less than what I thought, I’m reading them on time which is what I expected, I do finish my books a little earlier than usually which is good, but I’m not surprised or disappointed in any way. I learned that while you are choosing a book, you have to choose one that is a good match. You can’t read a book that takes you five days or read a book that takes you twenty. It also can’t be to challenging, or too easy that you don’t learn any new words. It was easy for me to choose my book because most of the books were very interesting as well as having a huge library to choose from and having other forty minutes. 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
