I think it is included to celebrate the kind of person she was while describing her last days. There is no description of her actual death scene becasue the authorwas trying to respect the privacy of such a moment.

Based on this statement, do you believe TeLinde and Gey had the right to obtain a sample from her cervix to use in their research? https://nowcomment.com/documents/303660?scroll_to=2701636 https://nowcomment.com/documents/303660?scroll_to=2701636 in chapter one it is stated that Henrietta has "Sixth or seventh grade education;" although she signed the form with a witness which is quite fair she may not have fully read or understood what she was agreeing to.

Many things that I take for granted are things that were magical to him as a kid and made a massive difference for his family. Understanding how the car was so much more than a vehicle in bad condition makes the reader see differently.

Trevor writes this paragraph well by explaining the same idea in 3 different ways. first he sums it up in one sentence. Then, sums it up in a word connecting the idea to his personal life through his mom. Last, going in depth to explain exactly what the black tax is.

The idea that people were agressive until they felt that Trevor was similar to them. This is a great way to show the tribalistic mindset that alot of people have and how language is synonomous with identity.

His commentary on the thought process he had as a kid applies to the way race is treated in society. It is a brilliant way to display big ideas with an experience on a personal level.

Showing the way that the young boys struggled with the idea of slavery when they were not yet fully brainwashed with pro slavery views is compelling. Fri, 15 Oct 2021 13:35:36 -0400
