AIDS

The poem AIDS was not really something that I was looking forward to reading at first. I think AIDS and I think of sad things, as I think most people do. I finally sat down and read it after my fiance had convinced me that it was good. I liked it after all.

I enjoyed the way that the author set up the entire picture in the beginning. About his family and how he was treated and how he treated others. I thought that there was a great contrast from the beginning to the end. He writes about his mother soothing him and loving him and then in the end he talks about soothing his parents and loving them. He seems to think he has to make them realize that it wasn't their fault, much like a parent would do after a divorce or death to soothe a child.
