*Evaluation of HIV Infected Blood Sent To Obama:

We have been learning about story forms. The most common story form is the inverted pyramid. The pyramid starts with the most important information at the top and then works its way to the least important at the end. The story starts off with the lead that a man attempted to harm or kill Obama by sending him HIV infected blood in the mail. As the story continues we learn who the man is. Further on in the story we learn some background about this man and that he has somewhat of a record of being mentally disturbed. The story ends by saying this is not the first time HIV positive blood has been sent through the mail. This story followed the inverted pyramid pretty well and is a good example to learn from.
