Second Annotation

"Ryans words".http://www.ryanwhite.com/pages/words.html

This website provided the testimony in which Ryan white spoke before the National Commission on AIDS, and also the remarks from the National Commission on AID. I believe that this is a primary source because it is the actual testimony and was created during the time in which the event occurred.

First Annotation

"Ryan White" 16 October 2008. http://www.ryanwhite.com/pages/story.html.

This source list plenty of information about Ryan White . For instance it stated when he was diagnosed with HIV, his age, information on the court case and also the date in which he died. I know that this in a secondary source because it wasn`t created during the time period in which this event occurred and also because it is basically an overview of the event.

Thesis

Did you know that 850,000 - 950,000 American in the United States are living with HIV and approximately 362,000 Americans are living with full-blown AIDS.
Have you ever felt you were unwanted? I was, and I could just imagine how Ryan White felt during his horrifying lifetime. Being segregated from everyone in school because he was ill. Lets find out what it took for Ryan White to be looked upon as a normal human being, instead of an complete outcast.
