So, she got the idea of writing a biography about the cells, and the woman they came from. It was not easy getting in touch with the Lackses but Rebecca didn’t give up. She went far and beyond her way just to get in touch with the family and eventually she got in touch with Deborah. Rebecca and Deborah went on what some might say an intriguing journey learning things about Henrietta’s past. Rebecca was sometimes out of her comfort zone but she didn’t let that get in the way of her finding out information.
Dorothea L. Dix PSY 310 December 19th, 2010 Dorothea L. Dix Dorothea L. Dix was a woman of many splendors. She was not one who wanted credit for her accomplishments for she acted simply in a matter that would best help people. She was driven by the purest desire to help individuals obtain a better life. “There are few cases in history where a social movement of such proportions can be attributed to the work of a single individual” (Gardner & Kovach, 1972). Dorothea accomplished extreme reform for the treatment of the mentally ill.
Although she was stubborn “The fact was this: Liesel would not get out of the car,” and she was also always determined to find out what ever she wants, her kind and caring nature surpasses this. Having to grow up on very little food, and little to no luxuries, you would expect she would have wanted more, but she did not. When her family was too poor to buy her a birthday present, she was her usual self. “Liesel didn’t mind. She didn’t whine or moan or stamp her feet.” From this example, it seems that the society did not affect Liesel’s good nature, although as we have already learned, it had made her angry, even more of a reason for wanting to do right.
In the book's writing, she attempted not to demonize the scientists, yet represent the views and concerns of the family. Skloot states, however, that many readers do see a clear point of view in her book. Skloot did not plan to include herself in the narrative, and is generally skeptical of doing so. However, she found that many of her very personal experiences with the family, particularly with Henrietta's daughter Deborah, truly were essential to the narrative. Skloot realized that she was a character in the narrative as a person who both wanted something from the family and provided them with experiences they needed.

It took courage for her to flee the south, from the only home and the only family she’d ever known, and it took just as much courage for her to defend the new family she created while living in New York. Ruth persevered despite the racial prejudices again her, her children and her husbands. Due to the need to be accepted, which is true of both the characters in The Crucible and today’s civilizations; many choose to fore go their own comforts for assimilation, submitting to their fears. But not Ruth; with her courage, she overcame it

Most people either have a love or a hate relationship. Lennie and George have a quite different relationship. Lennie would never get mad at George, and will trust him to the end. George gets mad at Lennie because of his mental disability, but then he needs Lennie as a member of there, sort of “family.” Lennie and George’s relationship is quite different from any normal relationship that is common among most people. Lennie is a person that is not the smartest person out there,
This affected a lot between C’s and Sonny’s relationship, it affected everyone’s relationship with Sonny. Being feared rather than love gives Sonny the feeling like everyone respects him. The bad result of that is no one to love, you get lonely, and no one really understands you. C’s and Sonny’s relationship was based on both fear and love, mostly fear though. Sonny didn’t trust C with all his heart, and that ruins the relationship.
Grendel’s torture is even more painful because he is so close to the humans and yet always kept away at a distance.

He backed away a step.” (Gardner p.83) but they still refused to accept him.
