During our fourth quarter of
freshmen year, we are reading My Sister’s
Keeper by Jodi Picoult. The story
takes place in Rhode Island in 2004. One
of the girls in the story, Kate, has Leukemia.
In order to save Kate, the family creates another daughter in a
lab. Her name is Anna. Anna has to give her sister blood, bone
marrow, and other things she needs to survive.
Anna decides that she no longer wants to give her body to her
sister. She asked her brother to take
her to see a lawyer, Campbell Alexander, so that she can “own” her body. I have heard that the book and the movie are
both very good. I hope I enjoy reading
this book!
