Throughout the book, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot, it was evident that Deborah Lacks was curious to find out what happened to her mother, Henrietta, and her sister, Elsie. For her mother, she wanted to find out how she died and what happened to the HeLa cells. For her sister, Deborah wanted to know how she died and what kind of life she had at Crownsville. These questions concerning Elsie and Henrietta took such a toll on Deborah that she became physically ill and suffered extreme stress. In order to find out what happened to her sister Elsie, Deborah and Rebecca went to visit Crownsville where Elsie was staying before she died.
Cooper uses his many hardships he endured in his young adulthood as themes of his novels. He perhaps uses the loss of his sister Hannah, along with the events surrounding the capture and murder of Jane McRae (which was a nationally known conflict at the time) as an influence for Cora and Alice in The Last of the Mohicans. He presents these characters as delicate and vulnerable as were Jane, and Hannah (Taylor 314-315). Cooper being so emotionally attached to his sister possibly uses the tragic death of Cora as an ode to the tragic death of his own sister. This is a reoccurring theme in many of Coopers works, including “The Pioneers” which one could say center on Elizabeth Temple as thinly disguised reworkings of Cooper's sister's untimely death.

DarlRyan Fox ENL 3 Alexis Cattivera Paper 2 7/23/11 Darl’s Impact William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying depicts the life of a poor southern family during the early 1900s. The family goes through the death of their mother and wife, Addie Burden, and set out to accomplish her final wish of a burial in Jefferson. These events of the novel are told through the eyes of multiple narrators, most notably Anse and Addie Bundren’s second child, Darl. Darl is the primary narrator of the book, delivering the largest number of interior monologues. Because of his intellectually complex mind and his unique powers of perception Darl’s narration goes beyond the scope of what character’s knowledge should be.

Poems in “Immigrants Chronicle” show that the poet struggles to adapt to changes, in some ways his father also struggles to adapt to changes. Like in “Felix Skrzynecki” when the poet mentions “tried to keep in pace with the Joneses”. It highlights the depth of struggle it had taken for Felix to come to a stage where he no longer feels the need to follow anyone in order to belong. Because he has now found a place to belong his garden. The garden becomes metaphorical as the poem doesn’t just reveal that the father belongs to just the garden but also reveals that the father has found peace in himself, has found peace as he now feels he has found a place in the world around him even though he wasn’t originally from
Entwistle’s book of integration reminded me of the time I struggled with an impending divorce. In my struggle to make the right decision, I realized there was no doubt that I needed counseling. A close friend recommended a good counselor and off I went. After four sessions with this counselor, I gained helpful insight into the divorce healing process, which I learned involved David Kessler and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s “Five Stages of Grief” model, which involves a cycle of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. These are things associated with the death of a loved one I thought, yet surprisingly had a close connection to the divorce healing process.
