Cruiser's Lac: taking the trip without trippin': Basketball, Books and a Baby

Reading the profile that dreamer wrote on a first year student who fell pregnant and has to keep on dealing with the reactions of different type of people made a hero story for me.
I liked how the student who was interviewed did not take her pregnancy as a burden but accepted it and through all the gossip and wondering eyes around campus, she managed to not fall apart. Instead, it’s like she found motivation to accomplish everything that she wanted to in her first year.
I think that the profile can fit in with Todorov’s model where the is a state of equilibrium, disruption and then also the second stage of equilibrium where everything goes back to normal. It also features the characters of the story and thus makes use of Propp’s character dramatis.
Over all, I think the writer of the profile was really brave to go interview someone who has gone through something like this and also for the person to actually agree to share her story was very courageous.http://www.gerbilthefunkyrhodent.blogspot.com
