Q3 Post 7B

I read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

WOW!! The ending of the book was so unexpected! I can not believe that Anna died right after she gained medical emancipation from her parents. It seems so unfair. Only five pages earlier I was expecting Kate to die because she didn't recieve the kidney and then it's Anna who dies. This really upset me because Anna turned out to be such a strong character and for her to just die is very dissapointing.
Another big shock was when Anna was on the witness stand and stated that Kate asked her to take the case to court. Two weeks ago in my post B, I wrote about how Kate didn't have a section for their thoughts like everyone else in the novel. Now I understand that she didn't because her thoughts were different than the reader had expected. I didn't really know what Kate thought about the court case, but I definitly didn't think that she had asked Anna to file it.
I wasn't that surprised to learn that Campbell had epilepsy and that his dog was for siezures. I was surprised to find out that that was his reason for leaving Julia however. She loved him so much that she wouldn't care that he had epilepsy yet he thought he would be a drag so he left her and hid his disability. I think that this is interesting because it is like Kate not wanting to hold back Anna from doing the things that she wanted to do like go to hockey camp. Both Kate and Campbell felt that their friends and family would be better off without them and failed to see how much everyone loved them. Overall I think that this book is amazingly written and I enjoyed it a lot.
