Choices

A child enters a candy store and lights up the whole store with his grin. He glances around at the labels. Dum Dums, Toostie Rolls, Nerds, Lemon drops, Twizzlers, Rock Candy, and millions more. "How many things can I get mom?" he said overwhelmed with all the options. "Only one." the child frowns and starts another lap around the store, and all he thinks is what am I going to choose. Life is full of choices. There are little ones like what candy should I buy or to big ones, such as should I let my sister kill herself. In My Sisters Keeper Anna has a sister, Kate, who has cancer and is sick of ruining everyone's life, especially Anna's. But the thing is, should Anna choose to give her a kidney or not.

Kate loves her sister and would do anything for Anna. She is the only person who understands Anna and the one who doesn't think of her as the girl whose sister has cancer. But Kate wants to be dead so that Anna  could do whatever she wanted to like play hockey, move away, and not be known just as Kate's sister. So Kate tried to commit suicide but couldn't do it so she asked Anna to not give her the kidney. Even if it meant killing her, Anna would do anything for Kate to make her happy.

That didn't necessarily mean Anna would be happy. Everybody thought Anna didn't want to give Kate her kidney. Then they find out Anna would donate everything to Kate, she would want herself to have cancer instead of her. She wants Kate to live and experience everything that she can. Anna would have no one to talk to if Kate was dead. In the book it seems like Anna had no friends. There was this one date she had but other than that Kate was her only friend and nobody wants to lose a friend.

Tough decisions...touch choices.   Anna needs to make a choice. It's not about Dum Dums or Tootsie Rolls; it's about life or death.

It's Not Summer Without You Point of View

In It's Not Summer Without You, is told in the perspective of Belly at the age of 16, most of the time. It switches through different ages of her life in some chapters, so some chapters are not as reliable as others. When she was 10 she kept talking about the bad side of one girl because Conrad was practically drooling over her while Belly is in love with him. She did not talk about the good about the girl. Belly is more reliable in her 14-16 years because people who are older tend to be more believable, that is why I believe that Susannah would have another interesting perspective of the story.

Susannah is Belly's mothers' best friend. She would have a major twist in the story because first of all she has cancer. She would talk about the challenges of it and how her kids would react to the news. Next she would talk about which boy is for Belly. She swore that Belly will marry one of her boys. She would also be more truthful of situations.,

My Sister's Keeper Prediction

In the book My Sister's Keeper I believe that  Anna will not win the case, but her parents would understand what she is going through and Kate will believe she has a choice. Kate will eventually die by Anna not donating her kidney, because Kate loves Anna and knows she wouldn't be able play hockey which is her passion. The movie, The Last Song, had Ronny and her little brother discover that their father has cancer. They try to stop it, like how Sara tries to stop Kate's leukemia, but he died in the end. Most books or movies that contains cancer has that person dying.
