Mary Roach's Book Recommendations
In Conclusion, I, in no way, found this book boring at all. Moreover, it was hard for me to resist the book. Obviously, I would definitely recommend this book to someone. It was very hard for me to stop reading it, astoundingly. I have never before read a book like this, but I can see myself, without a doubt, in the future to read more books about cadavers and even more of Mary Roach’s books.

    The Island Of Dr Moreau Summary

    An item of interest was the topic of vivisection, which made me think of Frankenstein even though there was no animals in that story. The story had me thinking of the ethics of experimenting on animals today. Testing no matter what the benefits to humans we must remember that animals are living beings as well and we can create great things without harming others. Overall the book was great. It had plenty elements of suspense and kept my interest throughout. I would recommend it to…

    Once a person passes away it is always a difficult time to for the family to make decisions regarding said person. However normally the person has already decided what they want to do with their remains. There are several options to choose from, to name a few: a traditional funeral with the casket, the flowers and etc., donating your body to science, or the remains can be cremated.

    No Heroes, No Villians

    To me, the challenging part of the book was reading a book on a topic that I do not know much about. I am starting to become familiar with the legal system, however I am nowhere near that of a lawyer. This is why I stumbled at times on some of the legal lingo that the book contained. In addition to that, I did find myself with a better understanding of our legal system. I felt like I was along for the ride on the whole legal process. Also, I would like to note that I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter on the autopsy because I thought it was very interesting how they performed those procedures in that time period. I loved the detail that the author went into when describing how it all took place.…

    The Bone Sorrow

    It was quite boring and not much occurred until near the end of the book. Subhi’s mother lies in bed sleeping for most of the story, while Jimmie and Subhi constantly meet up with each other to tell stories. I was hoping for some more action and conflicts to help stay interested. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find anything else not to like about the book. The writing style is fantastic, it flows smoothly, and it gives a great view of what it is like to live in a detention center or refugee camp.…

    Honestly, at first, when I was reading the book, I was so confused and bored out of my mind. But then, you get closer and closer to the ending where you want to keep reading to figure out what happens next and all the pieces just seem to add up together. Therefore, once again, I fully recommend…

    Separation And Exclusion, By Mary Bibb

    I found your response very enjoyable. I agree with you in saying that Mary Bibb faced many biases due to her race and sex and support your statement in saying that “one’s identity should not restrict or deny them from any opportunities.” I thought it was important that you addressed the issue of separation and exclusion, as the society was disregarding her accomplishments and making her seem invaluable due to her skin tone, sex and gender. Black children were also excluded/denied access to common schools and Mary Bibb wanted to change this, making sure that children of any skin colour could receive an education. Even though schools now accept students of various cultures/backgrounds/races, I find that within the classroom and schools, judgement,…

    PBH 205 Reflection Paper 1

    This reading was very, very interesting to me. Although it was only the first few chapters it became more interesting and spine chilling as I read on. I was very surprised to have read in the later chapters how Henrietta was treated and how the doctors acted back in the 1950s just because of segregation at the time. It really bothered me to read that the doctors would withhold information from their patients because they were to never be questioned especially if the patient was black. Having read that really made me understand how it was back then and that people like Henrietta were lucky that they were even getting treatment. But this story, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks changed how doctors treated their patients and also changed the way cancer was handled and treated.…
