Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir

Dear Ma and Pa,

                         Have a pleasant day to both of you! Ma, Pa, did I ever tell you my sexual preference? Well anyway, I just want both of you to know that whatever I would tell you at this period of time, this is still me, your son. Ma, Pa, I wanna be a gay. I know it's not easy for you to hear these words but I hope that time will come for you to understand and accept me for who I am. I want to wear those fit clothes, wearing my red stilletoes, putting some make-up and wearing accessories. Oh! It's so damn funny! LOL. There were so many things I usually do when you're not around. I usually speaks such gay words because whenever I do it, I enjoy, and I myself is able to capture and interpret who really I am as a person and as your son. Probably my character will be changed, but not my personality. I love you both!

                                                                                                                                            Love lots,

                                                                                                                                               Grin

Boarding House

               Mr. Doran which is the protagonist of the story, is a man of honor. But unfortunately, a man with human faults as well. He had done things out of his mind. He had been flirted by Polly Mooney, and eventually undergo sexual intercourse at the boarding house. Polly Mooney got pregnant, and Mr. Doran has nothing to do but to do his responsibilities and obligations even though he didn't love Polly Mooney at all. For me, Mr. Doran was just forced to maay Pooly, and as what has stated ther, Mr. Doran is a man of honor, so then he was able to take his responsibilities out of what he had done. Becoming a member of the Mooney family is helpless for Mr. Doran, and that's what I've thinking. I think Mr. Doran feels that he is forced to become a member of the said family just to give his child a good future, and so that his name and Polly's family name will not get a certain fame. Mr. Doran is unhappy of what has been the result of having an affair with Polly, particularly being a member of Mooney family.
