A) The science in the book- 1) Invasive carcinomas are treated aggressively. 2) Noninvasive carcinomas wasn't deadly as most doctors believed. 3) Cervical corcinomas are divided into two namely: invasive and noninvasive carcinomas. 4) gynecology is the study of diseases and women hygiene

B) The society at that time : the society at taht time was not fair. There was racial discicrimination.  The colored people and also Henrrietta did not have same opportunities with the white people. As we can read in the book, they could not to go to any hospitals even it was really emergency. At that time, if the colored people have severe health problem, they could be die or could be in worsen stituation. We have known that there was discrimination But we did not know the discrmination was severe like that much. Reading the book, we learned how severe the discrimination was at that time.

C) At beginning, the story is talking about that the author saw a picture that is turning up pretty often, but she had never known who is she. She began to be interested in this woman, once she was studying biology when she was high school student she heard about the name 'Henrietta Lacks' from Dr. Defler who is the professor of the biology class. She learned about Henrietta lacks and her cells, and it made her more interested in this woman. After that, the author was doing a lot of research for Henrietta Lacks.

The story “the immortal life of Henrietta lacks” had written by Rebecca Skloot.  At beginning of story is talking the author saw a picture that is turning up pretty often, but she had never know who is it.  She felt interest about this woman, once she was studying for biology she heard about a name which is Henrietta Lacks from Dr. Defler.   She leaned about Henrietta lacks and her cells, and that made her more interested about this woman.  After that, author doing a lot of research for Henrietta Lacks. The story was starting by researching for Henrietta lacks. It said that Henrietta raise by her grandpa, she had been live with many cousins, at that time they were helping grandpa with farm work.  When she grew older Henrietta and Day got married, and they had five children.  After her fifth child was born, she felt something wrong inside her body.  Because of that, she had to go to Hopkins hospital for healing.  The doctor had doing exam to check her tumor, and they find out that Henrietta had cervical cancer.  At that time many doctor have difference way of looking at cervical cancer.  Henrietta back to hospital for cure cause she knew that might be very bad.  Scientist Gey was doing research for human’s cell, and Defler had helping him to collect patients’ cell.  Henrietta’s cell had been collected too. For discovery Gey said that human’s cell might dead fast if it separated form body.

 Impression:

She is a strong woman, when she knew she had cancer she didn’t want her family member to worry about her.  And I think the doctor should ask Henrietta and then take her cell to somebody for doing research.

 Question:

How does Henrietta think that girls and boy should separate for playing during school?
