My Sister's Keeper #3

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!
