The other side to the skin game that made it work wasn't as much about the science as it was about the 'hustle'. Humans seem to never change, there are always people you can find willing to take advantage of others at the bottom, or people that can be controlled and manipulated. This is where Keith really shined. Once Alex had set out the selection parameters and ground rules for finding compatible donors, Keith was launched. The coffee shop in the lower industrial end of the city where Keith worked, at least during regular hours, was a magnet for the 'sole searching' youth of the city, accessible and vulnerable. Keith wasn't Alex's only donor scout, but his proximity to her lab, and the fact they had slept together early on made him a

  • The Hela Cells

    ...ave. They have been through a lot by people asking over and over about the HeLa cells. I think the least the doctors could do is tell them the actual truth about how they used those cells and stop making them guess or always wonder. I think they should have told them when they come to get the blood what they were actually using it for. They may not have understood, but the least they could do is tell them. They could have told them they wasn’t taking their blood to see if they had cancer they should have told them they were taking it for the HeLa cells. I think it was a good thing when I found out that Gey was actually doing research on the cells and not actually trying to get money. I thought this whole time he was probably getting money from it. I think when he was doing his research he was actually trying to help people, not put the Lack’s family through so much.

  • American Hustle, Snapshot of Today

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    Every film can be related back to socially significant issues that occurred during the time it was released. It’s a snapshot of the issues during that time period. Film is not created in a vacuum. As described in our textbook, film “Conveys “the temper of an age of a nation” as well as that of the artists who produces it” (Belton 22). Films tend to reflect current society, country ideals or beliefs in order for the audience to relate. Some of those techniques used include, the American dream, family, corruption, divorce, and crime. If a director decides not include current social issues than it becomes harder for an audience to relate to the film because they will not be able to connect to the characters and get into their shoes. One film that encompasses all of these current social issues is American Hustle (David O. Russell, 2013). This film is a melodrama because of the context and social issues this film deals with. American Hustle has a social significance to today’s current culture, society, beliefs and social issues through the use of the American dream, corruption, divorce, crime and family.

  • The Story Of An Hour The Story

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    If, in today's world, a teenage girl was told that her future had been decided a long time ago, she would probably not take the matter lightly. During the early twentieth century though it was quite different. In a time bent on the notion that when a woman reached a certain age, she should be married, Kate Chopin's 'The Story of an Hour'; brings a different idea to a world that was not close to changing anytime soon. Her story brings light to a fact that is fairly accepted by today's society, but was shunned during her time. Life before this time demanded that women should get married due to necessity. Most of America was still rural and women were needed to do certain task on the farm. When industrialization came along though, things became simpler, cities grew, and there were more choices for people to do. Women were not tied down on the farm any more. Her story shows one woman's chance to be what she wanted to be and not be looked down upon in her society. Chopin gives light on women having more freedom to do what they wanted to do in regards to marriage.

    I've been asked numerous times through the last 10 months who my mentor is. I've stared back blankly many times, and have said I don't have a mentor. I've asked myself numerous times what is a mentor? Think, think think. I've tried to wrap my head around this whole mentor question. I guess a mentor according to people is someone famous, someone to look up to, someone to fan over. Well I don't fan, I can't even name a celebrated besides Britaney spears and that's only cause I used to run around in my dipper gripping her cd back in the day. I wanted to be just like her with her cute little belly button ring and long blonde hair that always looked untammed . But back to this mentor thing.
