Summary:

This week in my reading Anna finally gets tired of constantly having to donate things to her sister Kate by the time she turns thirteen. Only because they now want her to donate her kidney and the process might kill both Kate and Anna. Basically Anna feels as if she has been used and she doesnt have a say or purpose as to what she does to help her sister. Now Anna brings the law into this so that for once since she was born she can have a say. Anna's mother was a ex-lawyer and this whole case cause alot of tension in the house making it so that Anna had to go live with her father. Come to find out during the trial Kate had told Anna to bring the lawsuit because she thinks she is going to die anyways and she doesnt want her sister to suffer anymore for her. In Anna's favor the court makes Campbell have medical power. After the trial they was on their way home and they had gottened into a car accident. Anna had become unconsious and they was rushed to the hospital. Anna is pronounce brain dead and said that it is pointless them still keeping her alive under all those machines. They then took her kidney and donated it to her sister and saved the rest of her organs for future donation. She then dies for her sister and Kate lives. And Campbell and Julia got married.

Quote:

" What is ethical to a lawyer differs from whats ethical to the rest of the world " ( Picoult 214 )

- What made this quote stand out to me is because I want to be a lawyer, and what i realized by seeing this is that statement is actually right. Lawyers like to argue for people whether they are defending or prosecuting they will always have a different perspective because they master themselves more in it.  Regular people do not have the same perspective because they see things under different opinions and sometimes out of lack of understanding the fact and matter.

Reaction:

My reaction on this weeks reading was that my book is going to be finish. Reading this book made me open my eyes more, but it has not help me with my reading skills and bringing them up. The book had some type of challenge to me, but it wasn't that effective. I am looking forward to Term 3's reading book , hopefully by the end of the year all these roar posts and reading will advance me for my future dreams of becoming a lawyer. Also I think it was pretty sad how she was fighting to make things better for herself, but ends up dying and saving her sister. This book is like a mixture of romance, seriousness, and the love for a family member.
