Google Classroom: 2 Readings Today Reading #1 | History and Geography|AIDS
POINTS FOR DISCUSSION Here…….
After considering the above-mentioned questions, connect with the following extract from Chapter One of Volume 2 of Dream of Ding Village…… The fifth thing Grandpa learned was that AIDS had originally been a foreigners’ disease, a big-city disease rumored to affect only deviant people. But now China had it, too. It was spreading across the countryside, and those who were getting sick were normal, upstanding people. The sickness came in waves, like swarms of locusts descending over a field and destroying the vegetation. If one person got sick, the only certainty was that many more would soon follow. (9-10)

Course DescriptionGreat World Text is an advanced English and Social Studies course sponsored by the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Humanities. Dream of Ding Village is a work of fiction. While its sociocultural and geopolitical contexts are integral to its impact, it is important to remember that this is a work of literature. While literature can help us teach culture, history, politics and so on, no one text can bear the burden of representing an entire nation, culture, or people. Dream of Ding Village is the story of the 1990s public health crisis in China, when rural villages selling their blood led to an AIDS outbreak.
