I listened to the “Wild Women and Dancing Queens” story. The speaker was Lex Jade, and she was very passionate and lively while she was telling her story. When she was 14 years old, she went to an all-girls camp and learned a lot about her femininity and self-image. One night at her camp, her cabin decided to go streaking. She was nervous about it but she eventually decided to take part in the situation. While they were running around she was worried about getting hurt or sick, but she didn’t worry about her body or what she looked like. She and her cabinmates sang “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, and that night did a lot to help how she viewed herself and those around her. The narrative structure of her story is chronological, and she tells the story in the order in which the events happened. I really enjoyed hearing Lex Jade tell this story and I respect her openness and vulnerability while telling it.
