Reading ,My Sisters Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, I came to understand many themes that are illistrated in this book. Anna was a baby girl created and brought into this world, not to expeierence life but more importantly save her sisters life so that she could expeierence a longer life.
In this story the author portrays Anna as almost a "bad charecter" because she goes against her parents will of saving her sister. Throughout her life she has been using her body parts to save her sister but when she turns 13 there comes a turing point. When Anna is asked to donate her kidney to Kate she refuses because Kate will not be saved for long and she is also putting her own life at steak.
At the age of 13 Anna begins to think of herself and this may seem selfish but shes just a child who wants to live her own life. Anna has this urge insdie her to experience the greatness of life for herself. She starts a law suit against her parents, not wanting to donate her kidney. At this time Anna is portrayed as a selfish, cruel girl who cares little about her sister and family. Looking at it in Anna's persepective life is a beautiful thing that everyone should expeirence and using ones body parts is not a reason to bring them to life.
Anna a young girl goes through alot in the first few chapters, this all comes to show her inner charecter and desires of living a normal life.
