Swearingen

After watching the HBO episode Thursday and reading Deadwood, it is clear that Swearingen is portrayed differently in each respective piece. I found myself liking him a lot more in the episode than I do in the book. I thought his interaction with Woo showed a different side to the guy from the book, whose actions early in the book with Malcom sort of threw me off his character. Through his interaction, we can learn a lot about not only the type of people in Deadwood, but also about their interactions with one-another, both socially and economically. While Swearingen publically made examples of Woo, demanding, for instance, that he use the back door to enter and leave an establishment, he privately gave us insight into the economic relationship between whites and the Chinese. I am interested to see how his character develops, and how his character can continue to give both readers and viewers ideas of life in Deadwood.

The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv.
