This shows us that what the underground greenhouse project is doing is truly impactful and has become an important part of the community by providing nutrients to people who would otherwise not have access to it.

Uses this from an assistant professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth College, which definitely adds to the credibility of underground greenhouses and the benefits from using them -- big environmental benefit -> could reduce reliance on fossil fuels!!

This shows that Mattson knows what he's talking about when he says that underground greenhouses could help food production across the northern US.

Since US army decimated buffalo populations, the Lakota people had to find another source of food & thus had more worries surrounding food security - uses quotations to credit the impact this has had based on a resident herself Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:13:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011292 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:09:40 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011291 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011291 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:08:12 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011290 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011290 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:07:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011222 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011222 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:57:40 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011221 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011221 The use of underground greenhouses has been effective in the past to help rural communities gain food security. The use of greenhouses is more promising because the conditions can be controlled, protecting crops from aggressive and harmful weather.

The first paragraph successfully starts of the article with a feasible solution, greenhouses! It describes the greenhouse and the author uses imagery to help the reader come to a deeper understanding of what this solution looks like. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:49:56 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011182 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340919?scroll_to=3011182 Here, the author introduces the problem, pointing out the issue of high poverty in the Oglala Sioux Tribe. She emphasizes the extent of this poverty, saying it has "one of the highest poverty rates in the US." This is definitely a serious issue and a pressing problem that requires a solution, which is presented in this article. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:46:50 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008947 It’s 1951 and Henrietta is in the hospital. In this chapter, Skloot includes some emphasis on the brutality of Henrietta’s sickness and hospitalization. She brings to light the intensity of the cancer, how quickly it had grown, and how it had taken over her entire body. Henrietta was covered with tumors, tumors on her diaphragm, bladder, and lungs. Her kidneys were in the last stages of failing and her doctors were aware that this was the end. Henrietta’s cousin, Emmett Lacks, heard that she was in the hospital and gathered a group of men, all of whom Henrietta had looked after before, provided a place to sleep, or kept them from going hungry. They heard that she was in need of blood transfusions so they all left to go see her and hopefully be of help. While they were visiting her, Emmett had witnessed an episode of aggressive and overpowering pain come over Henrietta, and never forgot it. He said, “Henrietta rose up out of that bed wailin like she been possessed by the devil of pain itself” (85). After Emmett and his friends visited, the doctors gave Henrietta a large dose of morphine, she woke up confused with memory loss, and told Gladys that she was going to die. She told her to tell Day to look after her kids, especially Deborah who was just over a year old. Gladys called Day saying Henrietta was going to die that night and told him that Henrietta said to take care of the kids and not let anything happen to them. Henrietta died at 12:15 am on October 4, 1951.

The author uses analogy in this sentence, comparing the way the tumors made her stomach look to a six months pregnant one. It provides some imagery for what Henrietta looked like during this time and what she was dealing with. I think this appeals well to pathos. It brings up some emotion in the reader, making us think of all the discomfort and pain Henrietta was in and had been going through for so long for it to get to this point, and yet, she never failed to take care of those around her. Tue, 14 Feb 2023 12:27:44 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004776 https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004776 In this paragraph, Skloot uses a more personal story regarding her search for information about Henrietta Lacks. Describing her own personal challenges in finding information about Henrietta, even her actual name, helps the reader come to a greater understanding of the importance of telling Henrietta's story. It appeals to pathos and our emotions as it points to how little is actually know about Henrietta, a person who has had one of the greatest impacts on medical advancement in the history of medicine and calling us to learn more.

She moves to a broad scale of possibilities and medical advancements opened up by HeLa cells. This applies to ethos because it calls on the reader to question the ethics of this case and gives a perspective on all the good impacts and improvements the use of HeLa cells has allowed.

She points to how this was the very first case in history of immortal human cells growing in a laboratory. Through providing evidence that is irrefutable, the fact that this was the very start of something huge, Skloot helps us understand the significance of the case by appealing to our logos.
