“Recitatif” by Toni Morrison: A Rhetorical Analysis

 Hello! This is my essay that I did on Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” for my African American Literature Class this quarter. Please do not copy my work.  Recitatif by Toni Morrison: A Rhetorical Analysis             Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” tells the story of two girls living in New York, one Black and one White (but you will never know who is what), and the development of their relationship from being close friends to going separate paths but still happening upon each other. The two most central characters are Twyla and Roberta, Twyla is the narrator of the story, and there is five main parts of the story where their paths cross. There is also a particularly important side character, Maggie, who worked in the kitchen of the St. Bonaventure shelter the girls stayed in for four months. Toni Morrison uses strong imagery and details along with words and sentences that are not too complex to give the story a tense, somber, and sometimes immature mood....

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...
