A Memoir Positive blog 2

Summary 

In my last blog I talk about a little bit about the book, "A Memoir Positive", I introduced you to the character, Paige. So far we have met trouble.  Paige becomes best friends with a girl name Yasmine. One day Paige was talking to Yasmine in lunch and told her that she was HIV positive; Yamsime couldn't keep a secret. Everyone in six-grade now knows that Paige has HIV and the bulling starts.  She soon meant Amber and Ethan. Paige has a crush on Ethan and Amber is an eight-grader cheerleader. Soon that week she stops talking to Yasmine and continues to get bullied. Her mother soon finds out and her and Paige filled out a lawsuit in the US Federal District court. Then their law suit in all over the newspaper. Paige was given an interview and she got to tell her story. What will happen to Paige would she become famous? Will the bullying stop?

Conflicts

 In the book I’m currently reading “A Memoir Positive “, has a lot of conflicts, but one conflict that stuck out was external conflict, man vs. society. Paige is a girl who has to live with a disability of HIV. Paige told her best friend of her disability. Soon her secret spread like a wild fire. She notice when a seven grader said “Careful’ don’t drink after her, she has Aids.” Within seconds the bullying began. Paige wasn’t the only one who would be bullied but her friends to.  For example, they would bully her crush Ethan because they kissed. They would say, “you better not kiss Paige, or you’ll get AIDS, too.” In the hallways they would call Paige “PAIDS”. All this bulling caused Paige to cut her self with a blade. The bullying went to far.
