Although she did not consent or live to see the breakthrough she was the donor for, Henrietta Lacks changed the course cell lines used for research for so many researchers, even undergraduate biology students at Concordia University. The power of one person! Also, the consistence and movement that Rebecca Skloot had started changed the science community. She set the tone for ethical standards that must not only be on paper but also in practice. She fueled a flame that would benefit all future research, including the test subjects, the oversight boards, and the researchers conducting the experiments. The power of one person! Sometimes when I get discouraged of my individual role in seeing a change, I can look back to Henrietta Lacks and Rebecca Skloot as evidence that just one person can indeed bring forth good change in a community, and in a

I feel that this novel was written in a way for Kathy to process what had happened in her early childhood life as a child at Hailsham and then works towards building an understanding of her life as a carer and a future donor. Kathy also writes from the perspective that the audience knows what she is talking about in terms of not defining what carers and donors are which is a cue Ishiguro gives that lets the reader understand her perspective. In the moments when Kathy was talking about her time at Hailsham, Ishiguro would have Kathy talk in a way that was trying to clarify what she already knew. For example, on page 19 Kathy said, “Miss Geraldine was everyone’s favorite. She was gentle, soft-spoken, and always comforted you when you needed it, even when you’d done something bad, or been told off by another guardian.” Ishiguro provides these details through Kathy to explain how the life that these children experienced at schools such as Hailsham was something that only the people who have been through it can truly

"Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town" (pp. 119)

Miss Emily was part of the highly revered Grierson family, the aristocrats of the town. They held themselves to a higher standard, and nothing or

Miss Emily lived her life almost throughout on display before the town of Jefferson and ultimately this resulted in her lack of socialization and human interaction. The fault in this matter lies with her father, the respected mayor of Jefferson, who protected her and kept her under thumb, driving away every suitor that came to call. People came to picture poor Miss Emily as “a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door” (Faulkner 35). In this visualization, her father clearly stood between her and the real world as a threatening and domineering figure. One might believe that such a prominent figure would interact with the public on a daily basis in a positive manner, but it appears that the Grierson status only encouraged the prying eyes of the townspeople to impede on Miss Emily’s
