You're looking at how Utah's environmental successes might be at risk of reversal due to climate change and the drying up of the Great Salt Lake. This report from Governor Cox's environmental agency confirms the fragility of the progress made in air quality and highlights emerging threats that could undermine these gains. As you build your case, remember the question you're answering: How can this information help you make a point about pollution in Utah? It's crucial to reiterate that the contents of the report do not just reflect a potential future scenario but are a scientifically-backed projection that recognizes the direct link between environmental changes and atmospheric conditions. Refer back to the report — it functions as a credible resource to underpin your argument by demonstrating that the government's own agencies are aware of and acknowledge the risk. The text mentions 'toxic dust' stemming from the drying of the Great Salt Lake, which can be a compelling talking point. Perhaps you might delve deeper into this aspect. Have you considered how the dust might affect public health or the ecosystem? Exploring the deeper implications could enrich your perspective further. Moreover, the phrase 'climate change' is not just a global issue but is here manifested in a very local context. Can you draw a connection between local industrial activities or policies and their effects on the climate that might contribute to this problem? Such insights would make your point about pollution even more relatable and pressing to your audience. You see, by harnessing this text, you're not just presenting a problem, but you're also subtly pointing out that the state’s environmental watchdogs are signaling alarms. I encourage you to revisit the text and report. Are there specific statistics or studies mentioned that you could quote directly? These details can provide a solid foundation for your arguments about pollution levels in Utah and potentially influence your audience with tangible data. So, as you return to the text, pay attention to how this information from the report can help you underline the imminent risks to the environmental health of Utah. How can it aid you in advocating for necessary policy interventions or conservation efforts? Your analysis isn't merely a commentary on the current state of affairs, but a call to action fortified by your government's own findings.

She doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and doesn't always know if she can trust Skloot. Her saying that if she maybe had more education her situation wouldn't be as hard was hard to read. I definitely feel for her. She really values honesty and asks multiple times that Skloot doesn't hide anything from her, I would feel the same if things happened to my mother that I didn't fully understand. Hopefully the book brings her some peace.

Earlier it was said that the cells would make people immortal. Also the "immortal" chicken heart didn't turn out to be the miracle it was thought to be. "Cell sex" would help scientists out greatly, helping them determine which traits get passed down. I like Skloot starting a sentence with "and." Its abrupt and gets the reader interested.

I also thought this quote was really powerful because its a big reason why Skloot decided to write the book in the first place.

She describes them as witches brews. This made me picture a big caldron, and Mary throwing in chickens for their plasma. Also I thought the sentence: "George had rigged a bell and cable from the window of his lab across a courtyard to the Hopkins maternity ward, so nurses could ring any-time a baby was born, and Margaret or Mary would run over and collect umbilical cord blood." was a funny thing to imagine. I picture Mary working at her desk and then the bell rings and she runs over with some scissors to get the umbilical cord.

It is straightforward and uses simple language. It isn't making her out to be an outlier or anomaly. It adds personal facts, like that she was the mother of 5, and died of a tumor.
