Until Whatever Angela James 17yrs. East High School

The book Until Whatever is mainly about two girls that has had a friendship before and they drifted apart from one another,until that school year when Karen Thompson found out her old friend Connie Tibbs had AIDS. Connie had been there for Karen once before so Karen decided she was going to do the same for Connie. She stuck by Connie`s side through it all,all the kids at school would laugh and make fun of Connie because they couldnt understand that just by being a friend to Connie you couldnt catch AIDS. Karen Thompson was there for Connie and was going to continue to be there for her Until Whatever. Put yourself in Connie`s shoes, see how you would feel. No one deserves to be made fun of because they have a disease or because they might look funny or they dont have money. Sometimes its not their fault and they cant help it. In Connie`s case the first time ever doing anything with a guy and she catches AIDS, that doesnt make her a bad person.

Until Whatever

There is a story of 2 girls. One of the girls names was Karen Thompson and the other was Connie Tibbs. They were friends, but not really good friends. Later on that year one of karen's friends came up to her and said ''Have you heard, Connie Tibbs has aids''. She couldn't belive what she has just heard. Everyone stopped being Connie's friend because they thought that they would get aids also. Then Karen and Connie were science partners. That was when they really got to know each other. Then for the rest of the year they were really good friends. I think that everyone should read it. It tells you what a real friend really is. It is written by Martha Humphreys. She is a good author.

This is one of the best books I have ever read!

This book does a good job of showing what people who have AIDS go through when people who don't understand the disease find out that someone has it. I think that it is a great story. I read it over and over and made all my friends read it.
