I definetly do this. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361794 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:11:06 -0500 There is a tangible relationship between mask wearing and social behaviors. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361788 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361788 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:10:31 -0500 This opening sentence is very relevant to my topic-the behavioral changes due to masks. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361785 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361785 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:09:28 -0500 Here the author verifies that the information comes from a variety of demographics. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361768 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261804?scroll_to=2361768 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:08:46 -0500 The author transitions here to further describe Gey's personality and provide his background. This helps readers understand why he is doing what he is doing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349464 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349464 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:18:33 -0500 Foreshadowing here...maybe soon Mary will become interested in her job and cell culture. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349460 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349460 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:17:20 -0500 Summary of Chapter 4 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349458 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349458 Chapter 4 discusses the lab process in which Henrietta’s cervix cells were prepared, sterilized and incubated. Gey’s assistant, Mary, performed this procedure and labeled the test tubes “HeLa” (the first two letters of Henrietta Lacks). Mary assumes that this is just another monotonous day of culturing cells that die anyways until she notices “little rings of fried egg white slots” bottoming each tube. Meanwhile, Henrietta is released from the hospital after various invasive tests and radiation and told to call if her symptoms worsen or should any problems arise. In the cell laboratory, the “HeLa” cells begin growing and expand to fill the capacity of the space Mary allows. Unlike the other cells, which normally die in the lab, these are multiplied, growing and thriving with food and the heat of the incubator. In this chapter we also learn about how exactly cells are cultivated and prepared- apparently Gey and his wife have been trying to perfect a culture medium for years. Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:16:31 -0500 This simile here helps readers understand the pace at which the HeLa cells are multiplying. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349455 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349455 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:15:38 -0500 Because the author provides such a vivid description of the room, readers are able to understand what exactly is going on. This also characterizes Gey. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349452 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2349452 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:14:12 -0500 Response https://nowcomment.com/documents/253906?scroll_to=2316463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253906?scroll_to=2316463 I enjoyed reading this article because not usually do we see the virus associated with optimism, pride, strategy and success. I feel that the U.S. could have done a better job handling the outbreak of COVID-19 and being so democratic likely put us at a disadvantage. While it these times are unprecedented, it is okay and actually quite respectable to look to other countries (experiencing the same thing) for inspiration. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:27:49 -0500 I agree...this is a very strong opening sentence. Not only does it capture the readers attention, but it also informs readers and establishes the topic through use of diction, and syntax. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316431 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316431 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:23:00 -0500 Wow this is incredible. Is is neat to be living in a time where there are such huge advancements in medicine and technology occurring. This is a great statistic. I hope to see more simple yet life-saving innovations like these in the future. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253923?scroll_to=2316417 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253923?scroll_to=2316417 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:20:38 -0500 Here the author provides information that is applicable to the common reader, who is wondering when they can receive their vaccine. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308392 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308392 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:29:49 -0500 Here is the anticipation of the argument of West Virginia's unique situation as a state. The author admits that this should not be compared to California. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308389 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308389 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:28:28 -0500 The solution is partnering with local pharmacies and long term care facilities! https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308355 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308355 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 14:42:01 -0500 The efficiency and success of this plan serves as inspiration for other states. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308339 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308339 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:26:08 -0500 Part of a solution here- they had a plan to administer vaccines to those in nursing homes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308333 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308333 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:25:13 -0500 Another problem here with vaccines being wasted. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308329 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308329 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:23:57 -0500 The problem of common and inefficient vaccine rollout is introduces here. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308310 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253922?scroll_to=2308310 Tue, 18 Jul 2023 23:26:37 -0400 I agree.

He highlights this to refocus America to build upon these moments and continue to create an the America in which Martin Luther dreamed. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:37:26 -0500 Here, he uses the literary technique of repetition that implies that he will work tirelessly despite the possible challenges to repair, restore, heal and build. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292477 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292477 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:28:11 -0500 I feel like this tactic is very important to assure the safety and best interest of the country given its current state. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285169 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285169 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:22:41 -0500 Here JFK uses literary tactics to express the power of the U.S. by requesting its adversaries to remain peaceful. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285166 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285166 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:21:58 -0500 Here JFK emphasizes that though the war of deterrence (the Cold War) has the ability to destroy human life... all men fundamental inalienable rights to life,liberty and property given by God that cannot be taken away. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285155 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 15:03:10 -0500 Claim https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265961 The author claims that the movie "Black Panther" signifies the exploration of human concerns regarding race and moreover the discovery and acknowledgement of the past and its relation to the future. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:23:44 -0500 Claim here https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265941 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265941 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:20:15 -0500 Wow. This is an amazing picture. It emphasizes that despite being physically apart, we stand together as a human race amidst life's joys, pains and sufferings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257959 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257959 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:47:32 -0500 I remember hearing in early January about some disease called the Coronavirus. I thought nothing of it... https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257944 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257944 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:45:13 -0500 I am not a huge basketball fan, but Kobe's death had a huge affect on me. It was a reminder that life is precious and we should live every moment as if it was our last. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257916 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257916 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:43:15 -0500 The author introduces this instance by relating his personal traits to the policy of government in which he lived. This is an example of selection of detail. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220387 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220387 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:11:47 -0500 This is an example of voice and tone. The diction choice here highlights the characters pessimism and explains how he is perceived by society. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220355 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220355 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:07:42 -0500 This is an example of irony. Police officers are not commonly perceived as targeted but rather the 'targeters'. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220341 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220341 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:05:08 -0500 Orwell calls for appreciation of freedom of speech. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213029 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213029 I don't think that thoughts can ever truly be oppressed. I think that Orwell is calling us to acknowledge basic privileges so as to bring us to understand that under alternative circumstances they could be very different. He is calling us to appreciate our freedom of thought. Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:24:22 -0500 There is this perception of homeless people that they are so different because they look dirty and don't have as nice of clothes. We all need to recognize that we are all more alike than different. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138406 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138406 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:21:34 -0400 If homeless people are reintergrated into society and held accountable they will generate capital and improve the economy. It is a matter of being willing to do the hard work. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138405 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138405 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:20:30 -0400 This argues that homeless people rely on the hard work of others and state funded relief and reemployment programs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138403 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2138403 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 18:19:34 -0400 This article puts homelessness in a new light. It says that charity only encourages homelessness, but anti-homeless laws are what will end it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136812 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136812 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:21:39 -0400 Instead of 'anti-homeless' laws that expel and isolate the homeless, we need to integrate them into society in a way in which they are comfortable and will succeed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136811 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136811 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:20:01 -0400 I have never thought of homelessness this way. The feeling towards homeless people is to feel bad for them, not jealous that you are doing the work that they are not. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136810 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136810 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:17:20 -0400 This is also very sad. Homeless people don't belong in the community because they look different. There is this assumption that homeless people are so different. We need to all learn that we are more alike than different, and this is one of the most basic https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136792 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:10:22 -0400 So now it is illegal to be homeless? This is sad, but I see this happening. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136789 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235910?scroll_to=2136789 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 11:06:30 -0400 I think that especially with COVID we have become even more reliant on our phones for social connection. I wonder what affect this will have on phone usage in the future...Will it get worse? https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131015 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131015 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:42:00 -0400 I completely agree. The days I am on Zoom I feel like I'm in a trans. Its weird getting off from being on a screen the whole day and interacting in the real world https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130992 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130992 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:08:02 -0400 I worry about what my generation will do when we are parents. Will we be less engaged and distracted by our phones? Will we be snapchatting pictures of our kids? https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130983 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130983 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:05:28 -0400 This is so true. The best times of my life have been when a screen is not accessible. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130968 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130968 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:11:39 -0400
