The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks After reading the Few Words here are some of the things that I have learned about this book. To start of I realized that this book is nonfiction. With that being said everything in this book is real information including the character names, and events. I noticed that Rebecca Skloot has taken a huge part of her life and set it to the side so that she could write this book on Henrietta Lacks. Rebecca didn’t get any of the information in the book from any website.
However, the characters within the novel do not. Steinbeck was presented with conflict while writing the conclusion to The Grapes of Wrath. Any other ending would've been seen as “I saw it coming all along”. He, therefore, chooses to leave the reader to wonder of the Joads' fate; their journey ending with Rose of Sharon “smiling mysteriously”. This way, he sticks to his non-teleological pattern that he developed throughout the
The first chapter isn’t written in anybody’s point of view. In all of the other chapters, one of the characters if followed more closely and we get that person’s point of view.

The Tori Paradox (Klosterman 145) demonstrates how hyper reality occurs to keep the integrity of Saved by the Bell. Klosterman writes, “For half of the “senior year” at Bayside, Jessie and Kelly are completely part of the action… However they are suddenly absent for twelve consecutive episodes having been replaced by ‘Tori’ … that displays elements of both personalities. Within moments of her arrival, Tori is completely absorbed into the bayside gang; she’s romantically pursued by Zack and Slater and generally behaves as if she has always been one of their closest friends.” (Klosterman 145) The image of Tori doesn’t change the integrity of the show because she is Jessie and Kelly. Klosterman than writes, “This lasts until graduation when Kelly and Jessi suddenly reappear if nothing ever happened. Meanwhile tori does not appear at graduation and is not even mentioned.” (Klosterman 145) This just concretes the idea the Kelly and Jessie are interchangeable with Tori.

So that when he does, he can understand the book better. That is one of the things that Their Eyes were Watching God lacked, making it a good story, but not a great book. One instance proven by Wright is when he says, “Turpin’s faults as a writer are those of an honest man trying desperately to say something; but Zora Neale Hurston lacks even that excuse. The sensory sweep of her novel carries no theme, no message, no thought”( ¶ #5). When he says there is “no thought” he means that there is nothing in the book that makes the reader think.
