My Sisters Keeper Prediction

My Sister's Keeper is a heart wrenching book about a young girl with leukemia and the struggles her family has to go through. Kate Fitzgerald, the girl with cancer has a sister Anna, and a brother. Anna was born to save Kate. Throughout her whole life she has been forced to undergo procedures to try and help Kate. Some of them include multiple bone marrow transplants and also she has to give blood quite often too. Now they are at a point where Anna took her parents to court because she doesn’t want them to make medical decisions for her any more.

I predict that after they get done in court that Sara Fitzgerald, Anna's mom will end up having a lot of guilt about what she's put her through. For all the year of Anna's life, her parents have been making all of her decisions for her. When they were in court, Campbell Alexander, the lawyer was asking Sara about everything that Anna has been through. He was asking about the blood drawings, bone marrow transplants and all the other medical procedures she's had to have done. I think as he was talking to her about all these things she was starting to think about some of the decisions she's made and how maybe they weren't all that good.  They basically set her up for a "guilt trip." Which personally in my opinion wasn't a bad thing because maybe now she will realize that what she's done has hurt her daughter.

Something that I could for see happening in the future is Anna and her mom mostly but possibly her dad too, having no relationship. I don't think they're going to talk any more because Anna is always going to remember the pain she had to go through as a child, so therefore she will always hold a grudge towards her parents. At some points In the book her dad mentions how he sometimes disagreed with the procedures that they  were doing, but he knew he had to make Anna do them to save Kate's life. In my opinion at some point you have to think about how much you are really going to do, just to try and cure a very deadly disease like cancer. There comes a time where you can't try any more and you just need to let the person be rest because you don't want them to suffer. Not that they want Kate to die, but in the mean time they sort of forgot about Anna.

Mothers Day 2012

"Well Kate, Anna and I haven't talked in six months now. I don't understand why she's mad at me, I never did anything wrong."

"Okay Mom, hold on I'm going to go call her real quick."

"Anna, you realize it's mothers day today right?"

"Yeah why?"

"Mom just asked about you, I mean are you coming over here today or not?"

"Psh no, why would I do that?"

"Okay Anna, but this is really going to hurt her feelings."

"Why would I care after all the pain that she's put me through?

"I'm sorry Anna, you didn't deserve to go through all those struggles just to try and save my life. It should've been your decision about what you wanted to do all along. I'm sorry."

"Kate, this isn't your fault."

"I know, I just feel like I've caused so many problems, and so much tension in this house."

"Well don't worry about it, now you better go hang out with mom(BOTH GIRLS LAUGH)"

"Bye Anna, text me later."
