<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>

Important point: My room mate has contributed to the mess within the apartment, but has not completed their half of the chores. I want to ask them politely to help out more.

Message: "Hey! I was doing my chores the other day and I noticed you haven't finished yours. I don't mean to bother you, but the apartment's starting to stink like trash (simile) and the dish pile up is a natural disaster waiting to happen (metaphor). Do you think you could handle that soon? Do you think you're too busy and may need more time (repetition/anaphora)? I would do it myself, but I have a lot on my plate and I'd hate to be late (rhyme) to work".

In my answer I used two examples of figurative language (metaphor and simile) and two sound devices (rhyme and repetition). I hope this helps! Please rate my answer according to how useful it was to you :)
