Comment on Blogging Scandal: Season 2, Ep. 12; “Truth Or Consequences.” by VICKI JOHNSON

VICKI JOHNSON — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 22:34:08 +0000

I actually love Scandal and Greys Anatomy because both shows demonstrate the unique thought patterns of the human psyche. You never know why a human behaves the way he or she does. Sure both are over the top but both are pure entertainment. I am not an avid TV watcher because I am a doctoral student but I tune in on Thursday nights.

Comment on Listening to Dialect. by Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:49:40 +0000

When it’s all read and done, each of us for given an impression of the author’s primary purpose of deciding to use, (in the case of Skloot’s narration) dialect of others in a book. But if she or he does, there strong possibilties of some readers disapproving. When she repeats,” uneducated” why wouldn’t many individuals wonder if this is condescending when clearly being a farmer, black, poor and in the ” South” is enough said. Clearly this is a touchy subject when black communities of yesteryear and even today know by generational storytelling and having self-witnessed, we have been flagged as ” the lesser” in most situations. However, Skloots seems to be the fairest of all in the case of Henrietta Lacks and the legecy of her “immortal” HeLa cells.
