Q4: What was Skloot's purpose in writing this book? #brooksaplang

[Brooks's AP Lang @BrooksAPLang]

@whydudeee So does her focus on the family in the last part of the book indicate her favor for them, or could she not avoid her due to her experience?

[Brooks's AP Lang @BrooksAPLang]

@bb_clemens42 But does she ever also defend scientists and their work? Or does she always condemn them?
