In an interview with Rebeca Skloot‚ found on the link above‚ the issue of Henrietta’s skin color gets addressed. She talks about the color of Henrietta’s skin playing a role in her treatment. During the Jim Crow era‚ the 1950’s‚ hospitals and many places were segregated. Segregation suggests that not only the place but the treatment changes based on where you are.

To begin‚ I will be characterizing Rebecca. There are several reasons to support that Rebecca is a procrastinator. The first reason is‚ when she was writing her novel she kept putting it off. A procrastinator is a person that keeps ignoring the stuff they have to do until the last minute. Generally‚ procrastinators are the type of people that turn their assignments in late.

“Rebecca had won a substantial victory! I t had succeeded in removing most of the under lying grievances.” How valid is this assessment of the Rebecca movement in west Wales? The assessment above‚ written by historian David Williams‚ is fair and somewhat accurate in my opinion. The Rebecca rioters‚ in West Wales between the years 1839-1843‚ did manage to resolve the main issue of tax for use of the toll roads. The rioters also proved to be somewhat more than a disorganised rabble due to publicity

What was even more concerning was the fact he felt the urge to kill her on the spot from the amount of disgusted he felt. So if he felt that way he why go through the pain of staying married to this woman. Why would he fake his happiness and deal with the worry of covering for Rebecca? He could have saved himself years
