Are all decisions the same?
Decisions are like people, they come in all different shapes and sizes. You can make a large decision like Anna choosing to move out of her home and stay at the fire station with her father, Page 263 "We're not going to my house. I need to go to the fire station. My dad and I are staying thre for awhile." or a small decision like what she is going to wear that day. Although some decisions can end up impacting people in the same way sometimes... In the book I am reading where Anna has moved out of the house for a while, and Jesse had just been bailed out of jail, but is close to going back since he just caught a shed on fire and stole a dump truck. This decision of his is going to impact his family because if he gets into deeper trouble, the family will suffer another tragedy and I don't think they can take it anymore. Jesse is a rebellious child and I think it's of course due to the lack of care he gets from his parents. Page 296, "Dad? I said. When are we going? But he was busy wadding up toilet paper....That was the first time I thought maybe I was."Everything is focused on Kate, and he even lives on his own in the small apartment to be more isolated from his family. He could have chosen a different path for himself, a better life, but his family made that very difficult for him. His family is probably very angry and upseet with him. Comparing Jesse's decision with Anna's decision to sue her parents I think they end up impacting their family both the same. When the big troubling nes of Anna's law suit got out, her mother Sara got very impatient, anry, upset, and confused with Anna. These same emotions most likely run through her head whenever Jesse steals a car, or gets in some other trouble. It makes their life harder to deal with, making Sara more frustrated with herself and her children. But these two decisions only came into play because of Sara's care leaning more towards her dying daughter. She may not realize it but Anna and Jesse do. This abandonment forces them to make these wrong decisions without Sara noticing it.
Text to World:
I never imagined what it would be like if someone I truly cared about and loved was sick and dying. It would be impossible for me to handle probably. But people all around the world go through these tragedies everyday. The struggle, the pain that they have to suffer makes me feel grateful. Sara Fitzgerald is a strong mother who is determined to do anything to save her sick daughter, and my mom would probably do the same, any mother would do that to help!

My Sister's Keeper #2
How does one's decision affect them, and those around them?
Right now I am right smack in the middle of the book, and I am reading in all of the characters perspectives, and getting diffeent opinions for each of them. Sara Fitzgerald still wants Anaa to drop the law suit, and is getting very upset with her. She doesn't understand why she is doing all of this and she thinks she is just doing it for attention! Not what Anna thinks at all! Anna just wants to be heard, and wants to make her own decisions for her own body, not for her parents to force her to. I think the same way! That's why Anna has not and will probably not drop out of the case with Campbell on her side as her lawyer. I think that they will most likely win the case. Another decision that was made earlier was Sara deciding to have a 3rd child, Anna to help her 2nd sick child Kate from dying. This was the plan, and her husband went along with it. But is Anna loved like a real child now or just a donor for their favourite child? Jesse was affected as well because now he will have even less attention for himself and that's why he has turned into a rebellious child in the present day. Sara thinks she loves Anna so much, but it doesn't seem truly like it, that's also what Anna thinks as well. I also think that's what the husband thinks, and he is on Anna's side of things. This affects Sara herself because she has to pay for another member in the family, and force her to take shots, and go through surgery for Kate. She is now being sued to the present.
The father reminds me of my older cousin because they are both firefighters. Although he lives all the way across the country in Newfoundland, he always tells me stories about how he helped many people in fire cases. He was always on call, and went whether it was 3 am, or right in the middle of a turkey dinner. He cared for his job, and so did Brian, father of the Fitzgerald's. Quote: pg.171 "We never know at first...riding behind" This talks about he as a firefighter and how he has to get up in the middle of the night for his job!
