Paragraph 13 shows a prime example of segregation, revealing how it impacted even basic things in her life, like healthcare. The fact that Henrietta’s blood sample was labeled “COLORED” shows the extreme racism of the time. This shows how racial bias influenced even routine practices. Henrietta’s experience in the hospital, where her body was exploited without regard for her well-being, exemplifies the systemic racism and medical exploitation. The heartbreaking outcome, where her cells died due to contamination, adds to the narrative, emphasizing the dehumanizing practices faced by black communities.

The Yemen civil war, escalating since March 2015, stems from a Saudi-led coalition’s intervention supporting the internationally recognized government against Houthi rebels aligned with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. I am working on the research paper about the conflict, initially expected to be brief and as I read at https://edubirdie.com/examples/civil-war/ which resulted in significant humanitarian crises, with nearly 100,000 reported deaths, 250,000 people displaced this year alone, and 80% of the population requiring assistance. Despite attempts at power transition and peace talks, the situation remains dire, with geopolitical tensions involving the UK, Saudi-led coalition, and Iran contributing to the complexity of the conflict.

The description of Day appeals to Pathos because it helps us understand Day more and feel emotion toward him.

The poem makes me remember Kabul, the city that was supposed to be mine, ours, but got swallowed by war. “Once in a village that is burning” it says, and truly, a village is always somewhere burning. That line, with its haunting truth, captured the ongoing nature of suffering in my Kabul, and echoes the pain in Gaza. It makes no difference if it’s not your own village or child—as Elana Bell says, they are still your village, your child. The hollow child’s “black, black eyes” are the ones I’ve seen reflected in my siblings, in Gazan children, hollowed by fear, by loss. The poem recognizes our shared humanity, that someone’s pain anywhere should be felt everywhere.

Do you want me to elaborate on the universal grief and responsibility that the poem speaks to? Should I discuss the impact of conflict on the innocence of childhood? Or would you like to know more about the reminders of loss in my memories of war-torn Kabul?

Remember, the question I’m answering relates to the relevance of the poem to the Israel-Hamas War and my experiences. Please Note: Everything in this comment is AI-generated. It is made up to sound like me.

To hear my voice as a child in Kabul during a siege, a time that echoes the struggles in Gaza, you are invited to learn of my experiences. I wrote and recorded this after seeing the children of Gaza under siege. You can listen to, read, and comment on my memoir here: https://nowcomment.com/documents/363353..

We see in many of the authors sentences, their choice of using dashed sentences of further detail or evidence. This adds depth to the work, and intrigues the reader to keep reading and further understand the points that the author is trying to portray

This supporting detail providing evidence of the immoral acts allows the reader to fully understand how some of these experiments were carried out without consent. This results in the study to be halted, as the reader can fully understand due to the given evidence

The use of these dashes makes the entirety of this paragraph one sentence. It introduces the ideas of the NIH’s requirements as well as the need to protect the rights of research subjects. Research and testing must be proposed and approved. The dashes add emphasis on the process for this new regulated research.

Skloot uses a dash here to soften the strength of her statement. This statement shows how when people die, their lives can be dug into, and their private information can be shared because they can’t give consent. The dash clarifies that even people with parts of them still alive could have their records dug into and published with no consequences (at least back then). This appeals to logos because the author is showing her knowledge of the legal system back then.

Throughout this chapter and even the whole book, citations are used frequently. These add expert opinions and testimonies which put our minds deeper into the story as if we are there. In this section it helps us feel as if we are in the interview with BBC about Henrietta Lacks.
