Outside Reading #4

I continued to read My Sister's Keeper this week, though it was hard to find time because I have been reading a lot for the AP World History Exam. As I continued to read My Sister's Keeper, I felt more and more connected to Anna, I felt more and more understanding as to what she was doing. As she continued to fight for her medical emancipation, things became much harder for Anna. Anna's mother wouldn't talk to her and could barely even look at her. As I was reading I felt really bad for Anna because she really had no where to turn. If it weren't for her father working at a fire house, Anna would've had to live at home in these difficult conditions.
Towards the end of the novel, the reader learns that the reason that Anna is seeking medical emancipation isn't only for herself, but also for her sister, Kate. The reader learns that Kate was the one who asked Anna to seek medical emancipation because she didn't want to put Anna through any more medical procedures and was in to much pain and wanted to go peacefully.
