Summary: This amazing book should be read by all
Comment: Dear teens, The book Ryan White:My Own Story is an excellent book to read.This book shows hope to others with fatal diseases and courage of a person to hang on to life.This book also makes people comfortable with deaths in the family. Reading this book will help a lot of people. Ryan's story helps people understand the definition of courage. In one part of the book that makes people think this is when Ryan went to the hospitol all the time. Dallas Morning News said,"A story of tragedy and courage that should be read by all". For an example, My friend died from a brain tumor. The doctor said he wouldn't make it to the surgery table but he did. He went through a lot of pain for a year and died the next. Just like Ryan he let go because he didn't want to see his mom cry anymore. To me this book shows courage. Ryan had ups and downs during hie treatments. He would fight the disease till he was tired. people say he brought a lot of hope to their lives. Paul Newman said that"Ryan White's story is heartbreaking and amazingly hopeful". Every review that I read said this book shows hope to the sick. I thought this book gives hope to everyone; courage is defined as never giving up. This book makes a lot of people comfortable with deaths in the family of to close friends. Ryan's mom was glad that Ryan died. It's not that she wanted the life insurance:he was in so much pain she didnt want to see him like that anymore. Just like when my freind died, his mom was glad and so was I because he was going to a better place. With a mind like that people dying close to you will be sad moments but you'll know it was for the best. Because this book deals with death, some people think kids shouldn't read it. The people say If kids read this book kids will be scared into thinking they have aids. This might happen but at the end of the book questions about aids are answered. Kids will also be afraid of getting a shot from the doctors( Thats how Ryan got aids) Well everyone knows the doctor sterilize their needles before using them. On Ryan point he got it from a nother disease(hemophilis). Also kids will be scared of aids more than they already are. See Ryan was in in describable pain. Other kids that read this book should have had a question about aids answered while reading this book. To me this book should be read by kids all over the world. It will make people, especially kids, comfortable with death. Also it will help the sick by showing hope and courage. If you read this book it will make you feel like your in the hospitol room with Ryan through his struggle. You will better understand the feeling of ill patients without living this horror yourself.

Summary: Ryan White is a great book for all ages
Comment: Dear Teens of the World , The Book I read was Ryan White my own story. Ryan white is an excellant book for kids to read. The book is about a young boy named Ryan White. Who is living with AIDs. Ryan was given tainted blood to treat his severe case of hemophilia. Once I read this book I felt changed. The book was hopeful ,heartbreking , and spirited all at the same time. The book makes you think about aids and what you would do if you knew you had aids. Ryan White lead a long and miserable life life because the people of his home town didn't approve of his disease. Ryan loved school : he was an all American Kid and an honors student. He loved school so much that he went to court to stay in school and won the right he was to return immediately. The students parents were against the ruling , however, and took their kids out of school and started their own. It was not that the parents were mean , it was that they were scared.
Ryan had it so hard in Kokomo , kid at school vandalized his locker with words like fag , bit*h and other slurs. Ryan 's house was repeatedly vandalized too from peole shooting at the house and throwing rocks and whisky bottles and trashing the yard while no one was home to scare them . Well it worked : the Whites moved out of Kokomo to Cicero , Indianapolis not only because of the people but he didn't want ot die in Kokomo ,Ryan wasn't afraid to die he just didn't like the thought of being buried in Kokomo's cemetery.
Although Ryan had AIDS he meet some very popular people like Elton John , Micheal Jackson , Lukas Haas , Rev. Jesse Jackson , John Cougar Melloncamp , Paul Newman ,etc.... Ryan was on of Elton johns 1# fans and Elton felt the same about ryan . Ryan went to many campaigns , meeting and conventions to represent kids with aids. He went to Washington D.C. to meet the president. Ryan also went o an AMfar convention that is held in NewYork . Elizabeth Taylor often helped AMfar out with donations.
Ryan's last and final trip before he died was to Washington D.C. to take picture with president reagan and his wife but to very first thing he did in D.C. was go on the Home Show with Howie Long. Then wentto the white houseto tke picture after that they went to the oscar party. Ryan spent the next day asleep while his mom tried to reach ad octor in LA but had no luck , so they took a plane back to Cicero to see ryans doctor. Ryan was admited to the hospital and put on oxygen because he was having trouble. Ryans mom steped out of the room to greet vistors. Once back doctors were huddled around him and his bed. Ryan was being rushed to the intensive care unit .His grandmother flew in right away. Ryan's doctor laid out the situation for ryan and his mother. Ryan Knew that once knocked out that he might not wake up but went on with the plans. Ryan told his mom that he was tired of fighting aids , then the drugs took hold ,and Ryan White never woke up again.
This true and powerful story of ryan white will make you think about life twice because this just proves that you can be their one day and be gone the next. This book just shows you how fragile life is. This story is heartbreaking ,hopeful , sprited , all at the same time. This book is great for all ages.
