The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a novel discussing many themes and issues. But its main reoccurring theme is the idea of ethics and morality. seemingly enough the 10th grade sophomore curriculum of the Brentwood high school also explores those ideas, questioning  and enforcing students to really dive deep into their own thought processes. To really form and stand by their own opinion of what they believe is right and wrong. In the case of the summer reading book of Henrietta lacks, it explores the idea of consent. Leaving students to question whether  it was right for scientist to take, observe and experiment with Henriettas tissues without her consent.

We are all products of the environment we grew up in. This rings true when talking about everything a person believes in and knows like their perception of right and wrong, their morals and their perspective of life in general.

Hellooo ooo ooo oo oooo my name is Moises Flores and this is my blog (: and I'll pretty much be writing about my highschool experience and all my thoughts that come along with it. So far the beginning of this school year has been really fun, I'm in my second year of the green machine marching band and yea that's pretty cool. I also auditioned for wind ensemble as a tenor saxophone and I got in.wind ensemble is the highest level band class in the highschool. Honestly this year seems pretty promising to me, I'll be trying to join a lot of clubs, especially anything related to music, like jazz bands, the musicals, anything that would improve my skills on my music and instrumentation. As for the classes that I'm taking this year, they all seem pretty easy and normal, probably global is the class that I'll be struggling with. A lot of people say that global is hard but I always come close to failing. AND THAT'S THE END OF MY FIRST BLOGGGGGGGGGGG.
