This week continuing in My sisters Keeper I noticed some new themes that poped out to me on the page. Like most teenagers Anna is begining to question who she really is or who she realy is supposed to be. She begins thinking and she believes that she has always been defined in terms of her sister. At this age she begins to rebell and makes such a choice that rips her famiy apart and maybe even fatal consequenses for the sister she loves. In this part fo the book the author is examining what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, and a good person. As Anna a young teen rebels against her parents and decides to start a law case with her own parents her older sister is living her last moments in the vision of her family arguing.
While reading various questions came to mind is it right as a parent to push a child to such an extent just to save another child? Then again I thought of myself in the parents position and thought is it okay for a teen to try to discover themselves even if it destroys your family. The idea of using a child to save anothers over and over came to seem moraly incorrect to me as the child is not sure of what they are doing yet under times of stress what is morally correct?
