"Due: Tues., Dec. 10th. Length: 5-6 pages, plus a works cited. In this unit, we read excerpts from The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. This non-fiction book uncovers the history of cancer through stories of the failures and successes of researchers, doctors, philanthropists, politicians, and patients since as early as 2500 BC. It chronicles the metaphor of the exhaustive “war against cancer” that continues today and the faces, such as Jimmy’s, that have represented it through time."
