No More Hiding

In the story “Woman Dreams” from The Mee Street Chronicles by Frankie Lennon the narrator’s conflict about her sexuality is revealed by being further explained in the story “The Party.” In the story “The Party,” it shows how the narrator did not want to be at the party because she felt uncomfortable with the boys and girls being all close to one another. Also how she was scared that they were all finally going to find out her secret of liking girls, instead of guys, which she has been keeping from them, and her fear of them finding out her secret came true I’m guessing because of Bobby. Bobby confronted her by saying, “Maybe you don’t know it Frankie, but you be actin like you don’t like no boys. I think you one of them-them bulldoggers!” This much revealed why in the story “Woman Dreams” she kept asking herself “If other girls dreamed like I did, not of men, but of women?” So in both the stories “The Party” and “Woman Dreams” she finally understood that she figured out who she is and couldn’t hide from it anymore because she finally told herself “You know I know what he said is true. You ain’t had a boyfriend cause you didn’t want none. Never did and never will.”
