Pedro And Me Analysis
Pedro and Me Pedro and Me is the book that I chose for my review. I chose this from the humorous category because Chris Johnson told me that it was funny. The author of the book is Judd Winick, who was on MTV's show The Real World. Judd comes onto the show knowing that one of his roommates was HIV positive, but he did not know who. He soon meets Pedro and learns that he is the one, and realizes how normal it is living with somebody that has the HIV virus. This book had its' funny parts, but I probably would not consider it in the "humorous" category. The book is animated and written like a cartoon because that is Judd's specialty as you will later learn.
Judd and Pedro become roommates on The Real World. They begin to bond and become really

    ‘Independence or death!’ was proclaimed by Prince Pedro on September 7, 1822 when Brazil's independence was declared. Dom Pedro was an important figure in latin american history because Dom Pedro was the first emperor of Brazil. He was also known as Dom Pedro IV to the portuguese because he was the king of Portugal. When he had fought for Brazil's independence, he proclaimed the quote written above when liberating Brazil from portuguese rule. Actually, this is what he had been known most for; for declaring Brazil independent from Portugal in 1822. He had set up his empire in Brazil before he was ever emperor of Portugal. It wasn't until after his father died (Joao IV) that he had returned to Portugal to claim the crown. When he had left Brazil…

    In the Novel “Argo”, the author, Antonio Mendez communicates to the reader that in order to pull off inconceivable acts of contrivance, one must think outside the box. Many people think that crazy and unusual plans never work (especially when dealing with an exfiltration). Their understanding is that when one goes with the ordinary they have a better chance of slipping under the radar. This book helps to disprove that theory by showing its readers the ways a plan can work when it goes bigger and bolder than the ordinary. The book also goes beyond schemes and helps the reader to realize this theme through its profound drama and real life events. Its intensity highlights the seriousness and risk involved with taking chances, but also shows…

    These traditional account make it clear that food was and still is an important part of life. The traditional account dictates to the reader that food is a source of life and it highlights the importance of food and nature, which makes food available.
