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.
Susan Hill also presents the woman as a figure of mystery and fear by first introducing us to her at a funeral. Kipps describes the woman as half dead when he says: “Who was perhaps only a short time away from her own death,” However, she is actually dead and is in ghost form (although the reader and Kipps don't realise this yet) and this is alluded to the fact she is a ghost by presenting her by an open grave which makes for a scary effect. Susan Hill makes many references to death throughout the whole introduction of the woman in black such as the use of the funeral and words like “grave”, “suffering”, “black” and “victim”. This is effective because it creates a semantic field of death which frightens the
I don’t like this place.’’ (Giaspell 744). This is clear evidence that the house had a weird vibe. Miss Emily was also isolated from the town she lived in. ‘’ set on what once had been our most selected street. But garages and cotton gins had encroached and obliterated even the august names of that neighborhood; only Miss Emily’s house was left’’ (Faulkner 865).
The Egyptians did not make a strong distinction between body and soul as many other cultures do. “Rather, they believed that from birth a person was accompanied by a kind of other self, the ka or life force, which, on the death of the body, could inhabit the corpse and live on (Kleiner 59).” This meant that the sooner the body was entombed and laid to rest the better off the soul of that individual would be. A person’s wealth and status determined how elaborate the burial and tomb was, however, the technique they used to preserve the body was pretty much the same. The mummification process took ten weeks. First, they would take the brains out of the head using a hook going up through the nose, scramble them and let the brains drain through the person’s nose.
Now on to Tateand the others…While reading the autopsy reports on Sharon Tate it bothered me that there wasnot one mention of a baby in her autopsy report. They removed her stomachaccording to the report and other organs for toxicology exams, so you'd think thisbaby would be mentioned. That bugged me a lot, so I got the idea, "Hey let'scheck the death index." I was really blown away to find that the only person thatthe Manson family supposedly killed was Leno LaBianca who was actually listedin the Social Security Death Index. Don't worry, I made sure to find out their realnames first, and I'm well aware that Frykowski wouldn't be there because hewasn't an American citizen.
Cousin Lymon proofs himself to be the cousin of Miss Amelia through this old photograph when it was even hard to distinguish the faces of the two ladies in the photograph. Cousin Lymon comes to find Miss Amelia because he is very selfish and poor at the same time. McCullers tells the readers when Cousin Lymon enters the town “the bag was full of all manner of junk – ragged clothes and odd rubbish” (8). Cousin Lymon did not own anything valuable. He was poor and he decided to fool Miss Amelia as she was the richest lady in town; so he can have a place to stay and use her for his needs such as food, money, clothes and perhaps also planned to make Miss Amelia fall in love with him so he can take advantage of her wealth.
In villages burial is considered a serious issue. It is quite common for older people to collect some money for the expenses of their own funeral, even if they have lots of relatives and are sure that their families will organize a worthy burial. Village families (and sometimes town families also) who have their dead relatives cremated face the condemnation of neighbors, and are often accused of being tight-fisted. It is true that the urn-cremation costs are much less than the traditional funeral’s. From the middle 1970s a third type of burial became accepted, the so-called urn-burial (burial of urns in graves in the ground).
Societies believe that their concept of evil is the one and only. The town in The Lottery see the stoning as a normal event. To them there is no evil, it is a necessary way of life. But as Americans, most of us have been raised in a religious fashion where stoning is a punishment of the biblical era. This in our eyes is a morbid and gruesome way to be brought down, and the thought that it was almost voluntary and the whole town participates women, men, and children is more then most can stomach.
