Just a note to Buzzkill Bunny:
Wow, I was wondering when I would get a review from you. I was a little nervous about it because I have read some of your other reviews and they were pretty harsh. To say the least, I was relieved to read yours. Thank you for not chewing me up and spitting me out. It's nice to hear that I still have some kind of skill even when I'm stressed beyond belief. Even if you hadn't liked it at all, it wouldn't have bothered me. Fanfiction and other writing is my stress reliever, sharing it with others is just a bonus. A lot of the personal thoughts and feelings Foreman feels in my fic is how I have been feeling all summer. I've lost a lot of friends and family this summer and it has taken its toll on me. So thank you for not tearing me apart.
As far as the portrayal of the ghetto, I'm getting reference help from a friend on the House, M.D. forum in which I am also posting this story. She grew up and went to school in a ghetto neighborhood, so that's just what I am gonig off of. I got the idea for this story when a debate sparked up about Foreman's real past. Did he really grow up in the ghetto or did he grow up ina nice middle class neigborhood? Seeing as how I'm a white girl from the middle of nowhere, Washington, I have no expereince in those types of environments, so I'm just going off of what my friend is sharing with me. Seeing as how this is total fiction, I don't really mind if my stories are 100 percent acurrate or not...even the show House is not even 50 percentaccurate with its medical jargon.
Again, thank you for the review; being a college student, I enjoy some feedback from an experienced teacher. It's nice to know someone as educated as you appreciates what I am writing. Now I will stop rambling. :)
