This supports her claim that HPV caused HeLa cells to survive so long and to be the true cause of Henrietta's cancer.

In the previous sentence, Skloot says that race is important in Clover, but the semi-colon list causes race to jump at you. By choosing to use a list rather than sentences, it makes the race traits of Clover more noticeable and distinct.

By mentioning that "regular" cancer doesn't keep growing after its host dies, Skloot is offering support for Cootie's claim of the cancer being spirit-made of man-made.

This choice of something as outlandish as a witch's brew makes us understand how outlandish the recipe for the Gey Culture Medium is Wed, 08 Nov 2023 21:15:16 -0500
