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!

I like the way you weave the summary and the connection to EQ together. As you do that could you try and bring in some text support to back up what you are saying. We were also totyr and look at how the setting affect us with our decisions. Why do you think she sometimes found it easier to go away and talk to her brother in his room? You mention how the brother feels apart adn rebelllious, do yu think it is symbolic where his room is located. These are thinkgs you can weave in to help you go deeper as you write. The same for your connection. I like it, lets try and go beyond the obvious. Look what is the significance at looking at the unexpected in life and in the novel?(think of the irony with the brother for eg. Foreshadowing for example....)
