In chapter 9, Brooks introduces Samuel Johnson through a brief biography of his distressing life. Johnson’s life is seemingly one of hardship from the beginning as he is the son of an “unsuccessful bookseller” and “uneducated mother” (p 213).

I chose these things because since she is more used to dolphins than us humans so she should learn more human things.

Why or why not?” Although there are stricter laws and regulation that require the medical professional to fully inform the patient of the detail of the experiment or study, I would still feel great hesitation regarding it all and would probably still feel some fear just because of the history of medical exploration.
