He shows her the home and the graves of Henrietta's family members and shares stories about their lives. She also meets with the white Lackses, who claim that they do not mix with the black Lackses. She talks to Henrietta's sister, Gladys, who describes how her sibling Lillian had converted to Puerto Rican to avoid racial discrimination. Throughout the chapter, the author reflects on the legacy of Henrietta's cells, and the ethical issues surrounding the family.

The fact that they did not mark or know the exact place of her grave adds a pathos/emotional appeal because it shows that her family did not have the resources to have a marked grave for her. This paragraph utilizes anecdotes and citations to demonstrate its credibility.
