In chapter 31, page 251, Rebecca stated, “She called me demanding to know who was paying me to write my book, and how much I was going to give her.” In other words, Deborah used to call Rebecca demanding to know whether Hopkins was paying her to get information about Henrietta Lacks from her like people said. This means that when Rebecca was in the process of gathering information about Henrietta Lacks, she was constantly being denied her most valuable source of information. Since, she was always being judged, the amount of information she gathered from the Lacks family was

She called Deborah Lacks first to talk to her. Deborah wasn’t what Rebecca was expecting at all. Deborah told her a bunch of information. The problem with Deborah was that she told her brothers and they told her not to talk to the reporter anymore that she should write her own. Rebecca eventually got in contact and talked to the family and got all the information she needed to write the story. Rebecca had talked to Deborah who said when she finished the book to come and read it to her. Rebecca tried calling Deborah but she got tired of leaving messages and she just went to clover. Rebecca was driving and realized the road was very long and then she realized clover was gone. She tried calling Deborah again but she didn’t answer so she called Sonny. It turns out as says in the story, “A few hours later Sonny dropped by to check on her, as he did nearly every day, and found her in her bed, arms crossed on her chest, smiling. He thought she was sleeping, so he touched her arm, saying, “Dale, time to get up.” But she wasn’t sleeping.” (Skloot, 325) Deborah had died before she heard the story. Rebecca did her job as a reporter well and published her story for all to read for the sake of the family and

Robert Frost's poem “The Road Not Taken” describes a traveler faced with a choice of which one of two roads to travel. He knows not where either road might lead. In order to continue on his journey, he can pick only one road. He scrutinizes both roads for the possibilities of where they may take him in his travels. Frost's traveler realizes that regret is inevitable. Regardless of his choice, he knows that he will miss the experiences he might have encountered on the road not taken.

Freedom Road is book written by the renowned novelist Howard Fast. Fast has written many novels including Citizen Tom Paine, Spartacus and April Morning.

This did not deter Fast from utilizing his creative abilities in writing novels. He wrote his most famous novel Spartacus while incarcerated. Howard Fast died on March12, 2003.

This book had an entertaining comedy twist. The interactions held between Rebecca and the members of Henrietta’s family members were often either comical or serious. At rare times, they were tragic. Deborah Lacks, one of Henrietta’s daughters had helped with the research for this book, had become close with Rebecca Skloot during that time. When she died, it invoked emotion from the readers, offering an unexpected bittersweet

The world view of the Navajo who had lived for many centuries on the high Colorado Plateau was one of living in balance with all of nature, as the stewards of their vast homeland which covered parts of four modern states. They had no concept of religion as being something separate from living day to day and prayed to many spirits. It was also a matriarchal society and had no single powerful leader as their pastoral lifestyle living in scattered independent family groups require no such entity. This brought them repeatedly into conflict with Spanish, Mexicans and increasingly by the mid-nineteenth century, Americans as these practices were contrary to their male dominated religiously monolithic societal values. The long standing history
