Right now I'm currently reading Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton. The book takes place in Africa and it is about a girl named Chanda who has to go through hard times because people she knows are dying due to HIV/AIDS. At the beginning of the story Chanda is in a funeral parlor trying to pick out a casket for her little one and a half year old sister that had died over night. Chanda is the only family member who is at the funeral parlor because her mother is just so devastated she does not want to go, instead of going she just wants to hold her baby girl.Chanda's step father is working but she says that he is actually getting drunk at the bar, so Chanda is left to pick out the casket by herself. "I sign the contract and go outside. Biking into the morning rush hour, I recite the Alphabet to make my mind go blank."
I find that Chanda is a girl with many problems in her life, her dad and two brothers have died, she lived with a man that tried to rape her and now her baby sister has died. I chose this quote from the book because I think that Chanda is constantly trying through out the book to get her problems out of her head by thinking of something else
The video that I have chosen is a song by My Chemical Romance and it is called Cancer. I believe that this song relates to my main character because she has lost many people in her life and I believe that this song can relate to two illness's- aids and cancer. I think that this song relates to aids because once you have aids you know you'ure going to die. In this song the singer knows that at he is going to die, and he is telling someone what he wants when he dies and that the hardest part about this is leaving them.

Great video connection to the two illnesses in the video and book. The whole post had to do with the same thing death. All the elements of the post lead to death and the video made me connect to death. Good job!
