intergenerational trauma they have endured from Henrietta's suffering at the hands of medical professionals. The relationship that is formed between Rebecca and Henrietta's youngest daughter, Deborah, provides insight on the value of listening and its power to heal and give her suffering meaning. The act of Deborah telling her own story essentially commences her path to healing and it serves as proof that she has reclaimed ownership of her voice — this represents Skloot's attempt at justice.…
In the book of Judges it is evident that Israel’s constant disobedience in the eyes of God has led them in a downward spiral in history. As Israel goes deeper into rebellion and chaos, the cycle of rebellion remains and the judges themselves deteriorate. In the prologue of the book of Judges there is a recurring cycle of apostasy, oppression, penitence, and deliverance. The judges were all endowed by God to lead His people, but they were not always leaders of ideal character. In chapter one the…

“Can’t you see that I’m suffering” (Greenberg 278)? 7am. Wake up. Blink once, blink twice. Your vision starts to become more clear as the light burns your eyes. You finally adjust to the bright morning sun. 8am. Rush off of the city bus in the hopes of having time to get coffee before work. Take a deep breath. The feeling of cold wind brushes across your rosy cheeks. You take a moment to look at the thousands of people rushing by. 8:30am You stand on the corner of the sidewalk waiting to cross…
Looking back, Henrietta was a black woman born in 1920 and started seeking treatment for cervical cancer in 1951. This of course raises the issue of how poorly educated most blacks were, the role of white supremacism, and many other issues.
