How we respond to AIDs depends, in part, on whether we understand this interdependence” Bill Clinton spoke these words to an ever-changing, and ever-accepting nation.

…to have and to hold, from this day forwards, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. These are the standard wedding vows and though, they are a married couple, these vows still play a role in any serious relationship. It is the promise of two people that they will be there, no matter what happens. However, things happen and, suddenly, that promise turns into a broken agreement.

Walter Dean Myers wrote the book Fallen Angels. It is about America's experiences in the Vietnam War as told by the main character in the book, Richie Perry. Perry goes through a lot of changes and sees some of his good friends die in battle fighting for a cause that no one could agree upon.

Speaking in conventional terms, the character “Prior” is single handedly perhaps the most easily and remarkably identifiable protagonist in the play. He’s the most recognizable protagonist due to the fact that he so happens to be the dominant victim in the play. Prior starts off the play at the mere mercy of every single character in addition to everything around him. Prior was also unfortunately abandoned by Louis, is also infected with a type of disease that controls his body and all of its main functions. In addition, prior happens to also be harassed by a heartless and unjust Angel. Lastly, as a gay individual with aids, he ultimately becomes the victim of social bigotry and prejudice as exemplified

      Everyone has his or her own personal faults in life.  Some are looked down upon more for their issues than others are.  Homosexual relationships are considered sacrilegious and unethical, so much that we scrutinize persons having those relations.  We as a society should not look down upon individuals whose sexual preference is different from our own.

“Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests,” Revelation 15:6 (Buursma, Manikas-Foster). In Paradise Lost, a notorious angel, Lucifer, is said to transform into a toad and whisper into Eve`s ear (Jance).
