Out of the essays we had to read, I found one I was very interested in and actually enjoyed reading. I took pleasure in reading The constant Gardener. I liked the fact that in The Constant Gardener, Brain was so strong through his lillness. He and his partner both remained calm and collective when it came to everything they dealt with. Not only were they a gay couple, which in todays society is not very accepted, but Brain had AIDS. Making matters much worse. I can not imagine havings AIDS, knowing that I am going to die sometime in the near future and having someone who loves me watch it happen before their very eyes. Or vise versa, having someone I love have AIDS and watching them go through the pain and suffering only to finally come to their death. I feel like this story drew me in through its emotions. Most people are in touch with their emotions and this is very easy to relate to when reading.
