**//__ [|Kaite & Shelley's Digital Collage] __//** Our collage is a timeline of Pedro's life. Starting with the Cuban flag where he was born, to his "feet first" birth, and his boat trip to America. We then represented the death of his mother by showing a picture of a lock of hair symbolizing the lock of hair she left in Pedro's drawer because he said that he always loved his mother's hair. He becomes sexually active at 13 because he is looking for "love" to fill the void that is left in him upon his mother's death and admits to his father that he is homosexual. After, we show a variety of pictures of his diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, the shingles he got on his face, his cast-mates of "The Real World," his life partner, Sean, whom he married on the show, and his family by his bedside during his last days; a trip President Bill Clinton made possible. There is a picture of a quilt that is in memory of Pedro Zamora and then finally, a picture of the book, __ Pedro and Me __, by his friend and cast-mate, Judd Winick, that chronicles his short but amazing and influential life.

**Doug Larson's Digital Collage of Pedro and Me:** [|**Pedro Collage.docx**] I collected these photos to illustrate things that made the biggest impression to me while reading Pedro and Me. To me the story seemed to revolve around the importance of Friends, Family and Aids Education. I have a photo Castro representing the hard life in Cuba and a photo of the refugee boat he took to Florida. His Superman t-shirt he wore as a kid and the apple and can of coke he first had once arriving to Florida. A photo of Pedro, One of Judd with his novel, Pedro and his husband Sean. MTV representing the Real World Show that brought Judd and Pedro together and the close friends he made there. A camera man that was always present during the show. A photo of shingles on a mans face. Aids support Awareness ribbon and a picture of Pedro in the hospital bed surrounded by friends and family. A plate of Alfredo, Pedro's favorite meal. An airplane because they all traveled across the country so many times and the Air port shuttle with the insightful driver. I included one page from the novel of the Real world Friends out having a great day together. The microphone represents all the education speeches Pedro and Judd did for so many people. spreading the aids awareness and impacting so many people across our country. Even being recognized by president Bill Clinton for his remarkable achievements. Photos from Bing Images.
