Examining The Topic Of The Book, Henrietta Lacks HandbookHave you recently read through the Henrietta Lacks Handbook and noticed a problem that has been noted by many readers? What has shocked you is that, in Henrietta's essay, it seems like she writes about subjects that are not topical or current. Is this true or a mistake?The book focuses on the discovery of the human papillomavirus (HPV) over a few years by Louis Pasteur and his colleagues. Henrietta's topic would be connected to the disease, it is an example of. But, interestingly, when you look at the thesis statement, you will notice that it is from the year 1986.Of course, that is the year the first case of cervical cancer was diagnosed by Harvey Karp. However, is it possible that after that, everything that ever happened for the rest of her life did not happen to Henrietta? It is just as likely that she wrote her essay in her late 20s or early 30s. Also, maybe things have changed since then and she did not live through the p eriod where that research occurred.You have probably seen a presentation about the benefits of the vaccine known as Gardasil that was introduced to combat HPV. Many people view this as a great thing but others do not. Some feel that it may cause the prevalence of cervical cancer to increase.When you ask experts about the relationship between Harvey Karp and the virus that cause cervical cancer, they will say that there are too many unknowns at this point. The research is still going on. If you do want to learn more about it, you can find more about the topic by searching the Internet.Henrietta seems to discuss it briefly and the person reviewing her essay says it seems that she does not understand the topic. However, that is only the case with her topic. When you compare her essay with another essay by the same author, you will notice that one is about national parks and the other is about women's health.Her topic is not current and you will find several instances where she talks ab out something that has already happened. In some cases, she mentions something that is out of date. For example, she talks about the cost of health care and also mentions that, depending on what type of insurance you have, health care costs will vary.So, the essay topics that are written may have to do with things that are current, but you must have your eye on the big picture. Be sure that what you write is comprehensive and reflects all of the information that is being taught at school.
