<span>Skloot uses the phrase "by chance" to show Henrietta's uncanny fortune. It showed the serendipity of Henrietta's choosing to go to John Hopkins, because -- as luck would have it -- doctors were currently discussing what, exactly, qualified as cervical cancer, and if such a condition was found, how to treat it. It was as if she chose the perfect time in history to visit. The right people were there; the right topic was the current hot button; she was suffering from the right condition. She could not have been in a better place at a better time had she tried to be.</span>

Answer:

xXMonkey explains your answer!

Explanation:

The reason the passenger pigeon went extinct is because of the mass hunting that went on. The reason they were hunted was for their meat, which exploded in the market. Soon, their numbers started dwindling, and they were quickly approaching their demise.

Before long, the passenger pigeon was gone. The extinction of this species sent a ripple through the world. In a simple explanation, no more pigeons, no more pigeon meat. This was kind of the first step to conservation. The passenger pigeon, in a way, gave itself up for conservation and the protection of the other species. Thank you for reading.

Hope this helps. -xXMonkey

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Shakespeare changed the reason why the two lovers were unable to be together and how their death impacted each other's family.

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet", one of Shakespeare's most famous works, was inspired by the story of "Pyramus and Thisbe". That's because Pyramus and Thisbe were two young people in love with each other, who were forbidden by their parents to be together. Unlike "Romeo and Juliet" Pyramus and Thisbe's parents knew of the romance between the two, besides, the romance between Romeo and Juliet was prohibited because of the fight between their families, but no one knows why the parents of Pyramus and Thisbe did not allow love between the two. We can also say that the death of Romeo and Juliet has a strong impact on story, since Shakespeare shows that these deaths were able to change the behavior of the families of young people, because it made them realize that the enmity between them was disastrous. In Pyramus and Thisbe we do not know the impact of deaths on families.

With that, we can say that Shakespeare, left his history more detailed, comprehensive and identifiable.
