Book

         1) The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot includes 38 chapters and 310 pages full of facts, culture, history, and heart. Unfortunately it was hard to finish this book quicker because of extra curricular activities that did not give me time to enjoy the book as much as I desired. I determinedly made time to successfully complete and analyze this astonishing book. I am now looking forward to being introduced to more books that will keep me as engaged as  The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks has.
         3) The way the author formatted the book was completely different then any other book I have gotten a chance to read. All books have a setting and plot and  a climax but the way Rebecca Skloot organized her writing is pleasant to read. The book is divided into three parts that are a story with in each section. Section one pages 13-86 are called "life", just as the title mentions. This section is about Henrietta or as birth name would call her Loretta Pleasant. The reader grows right along with  Henrietta, the author visually puts the reader into Henrietta's life, feeling every struggle she went through. Section two is "death" pages 87-176, this section is the informative part of the book. Giving you a glimpse of modern medicine and medical journalism. Helping you understand how historically important Henrietta is to advancements in medicine. "Death" Is like the center of a chocolate tootsie-pop. The part where all charters have a significant place in the biography and the readers understands the main characters life. The Final section is named "Immortal"pages 177-310. Witch I see as creative title not only because is the actual title of the book but this is the section in witch the reader makes Henrietta and her family a part of you. The readers sees  the unfairness of Henrietta's situation how it not only effected her but also the future of her family.  Not only has the author showed the lacks family who Henrietta is, she shows the reader who she is and who she forever be.
           5) One of the many things I enjoyed about this book is how visual and poignant  it is. " I know your mother and father and all the cousins all mingled together in their own way, but don't you do it, Dale. Cousins are not supposed to be havin sex with each other. That's uncalled for."  This quotes has so much power because not only dose it show the horrifying situation Dale was going though but it shows how different things where in the passed. That one quote shows growth in humanity, and how we start to realize right from wrong.
            6)  "people wouldn't use the word use word like  epilepsy, mental retardation, or neurosyphilis to describe Elise's condition until years later.  To the folks in Lacks Town  she was just simple, Touched. " this quote shows how metal disorders where not common and where not seen as disorders they where seen as simple differences. People didn't know of the complications of having children with relatives back then, to them relative reflation ships where normal. Today we know it's wrong but other then being wrong it creates a higher chance of the fetus to come out with a birth deficiency.
