Reading Response: “What’s a baby between friends” by Stewart Lewis
“Was there a male biological clock? Was there a gay male biological clock? If there was, my alarm
was going off.” What’s a baby between friends” is a interesting life-story of parenting in the modern day
world of the 21st century. The individual in the story is Lewis who is an well-established openly gay
professional and musical artist who wants children, after a few months Lewis is able to have a baby with
a female friend named Kat. This was an intriguing piece as a reader as journalist conveyed raw emotion
and a sentimental tone throughout entire story. In my opinion, I believe the journalist decided to write a
piece on this particular subject to perhaps educate and enlighten those whom may have questions or
concerns with this topic. Nevertheless, journalist of this story instantly places himself into the story
by the constant usage of “I” which leads readers to understand that the writer isn’t a character in a
fictional setting, it’s personal memoir of his life. Overall this piece is very positive and informative as
it discusses and informs individuals to most importantly live life the way you want. The dialogue and style
are refreshing as it offers an original tone as well as a personal insight on one’s life.
