Pedro and Me

Written by Judd Winick and published in 2000, Pedro and Me tells the story of Winick's friendship with Pedro Zamora, an HIV-positive AIDS educator who was a housemate on The Real World: San Francisco in the mid-1990s. Through simple black-and-white sketches and a mix of humor and solemnity, this text invites readers to feel as if they, too, had been friends with Pedro. Extending Pedro's legacy by sharing his story and his values, Winick challenges readers to identify and confront stereotypes and advocate for the silenced and marginalized. Students chose specific visual elements on each page to analyze. We invite you to explore these annotations by moving the cursor around each page until you see a green box appear around a particular element. Adjacent to the box, you'll see student-produced analysis. There are multiple annotations per page. We hope these annotations will provide insights into how a graphic memoir draws upon the power of words and images to convey meaningful ideas to readers.
