Washington vs. Skloot

Yes, there is a difference in how Washington's views  Henrietta's story vs. Skloot's interpretation of her story. Could it be that because Skloot is white she doesn't feel that Henrietta's story has so much to do with race than illegally taking cells. I don't know if Skloot has ever been discriminated against because of her race or even the fact that she is a women. Skloot might not feel that it was a race issue at all. Washington being an African American women might know it feels to be looked at by what color or race you are. everyone different and so are the perspectives they bring with them. This is a great example showing the difference is authors race and perspectives. I wonder how the story would have come out if a white male had told it.
