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.
