Journal Entry #13


Bad news: Precious tested HIV positive. “This is the biggest thing happen to Precious P. Jones in her life. I got the AIDS virus. That what tess say.” (93) Wow! When I found out the results of the test I was shocked. I have to admit I even cried. I really did not expect this to happen. For me, it changed the whole meaning of the story. It made me feel like there is never any hope, and when things go right, something else goes wrong. I am questioning a lot of things now, and more importantly the reasoning behind the test. Maybe if Precious had tested negative, there could be more hope for her. She now has to worry about her own health, while also the concerns of continuing a good education and supporting her son. This part of the story has became “alive” to me, and I believe people go through these things every day. However, there was a bit of good in this whole situation. Abdul is healthy and he does not have the virus.
