Rebecca, you are one brave girl and I salute you for having the bravery to do all of this to write this book. Zakariyya's description of how he looked like matched up perfectly in my head.
I always wondered why did Zakariyya act this way? Why did he choose a crazy lifestyle? It couldn't just be because of the Vietnam war.
This chapter answered some of my questions. Zakariyya said if Ethel didn't abuse them when they were younger that he'd be a totally different person now. I completely agree because Ethel was a demon! Starved and abused Henrietta's kids..
Zakariyya also said if Henrietta had been around that he would've been a different person. I also agree because Ethel wouldn't have came into the picture and he would've had more guidance from his mother.
I thought it was sweet that Deborah gave the chromosome painting of Henrietta to Zakariyya. This was the first time we actually see him happy and crying of happiness in this whole book.
It seemed like one of the most emotional scenes in this book by far.
Skloot teaches Deborah how to use the internet for research. This really helped Deborah because she was relentlessly researching her mother all the time.
Sometimes the internet pulled up ridiculous things like HeLa cells starting human farming and body cloning which led Deborah asking Rebecca those same questions.
Until next time.....
