Tran 1 Sophia Tran Miss Calahan AP Language 1st period 26 August 2013 The Unknown Woman One of the main themes in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is justice.

In The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot‚ both authors suggest that globalization is both powerful and dangerous‚ so dangerous that it can sometimes cause irreplaceable damage‚ but can also do good things.
