audiences

The author depicts the behaviors and emotions of audiences before Pedro said he was HIV positive. Most viewers were looking at him, expecting what he would say next, and some would chat with people next to him. It's like an ordinary speech until he said he was HIV positive. People's expressions became shocked, upset and supportive. Changes in audience expressions highlight the phenomenon that people generally do not know much about AIDS, thus demonstrating the importance of Pedro's speech and how brave he was.
