My Sister's Keeper is a novel in which there is lots of topics that are challenging, and also relateable.
On page 408 Cambell decides whether he should tell the truth about why he has a service dog. My question is, why does the author have him lie? Instead of saying the truth (he's epileptic and the dog is his seizure dog) he says, "I'm a layer... He chases ambulances for me." I don't understand why the author would write that when his and Julia's arguement about why he wouldn't tell anyone is resolved. I think it would make for a better story, and better plot, if Cambell told the truth.
One connection I have about this novel is text to text. My Sister's Keeper is very similar to Six Months to Live. In both the main character is struggling with a life threatening illness, leukemia. Both stories are about the struggle of having someone endure the pain with you, as your friend - although the situation is more extreme in My Sister's Keeper. Anna not only supports Kate, but donates to her what she needs.
This book seems so sad. I saw the movie and cried!I would love to read the book because I would seem to have many connections to it. This is a very good connection with My Sister's Keeper and Six Months to Live.
