Jodi Picoult's The Pact: A Love Story

After she had made it through the rough part of her experience, her perspective on life changed. Anna's time in the hospital helped her to see things

They cannot believe that Anna would do such a thing. They always wondered why she wouldn’t help her sister in her time of need. Anna’s father says, “We all know you’re supposed to love your kids equal, but that’s not always how it works” (147). They call her selfish for not wanting to donate anymore. Anna does feel guilty for not wanting to help her sister, but she is tired of getting stuck with needles and being hospitalized when she is never the one who is sick.

Throughout the novel, Anna is always in the hospital giving blood to Kate. In chapter one, she states “I am afraid one day I will wake up and not be able to see her at all.” Anna is scared to lose Kate because she is one of her older siblings and she cares for her as much as she does to her brother Jesse. Jesse, the oldest sibling, holds a lot of responsibility for taking care of Anna and Kate. He is scared to lose Kate because when he was tested on weather he was a match for Kate, he was not able to donate an organ or give blood due to test results. Brian and Sara, Kate's parents, react differently than Anna and Jesse. They don't give as much attention to Anna and Jesse as to Kate. Their main concern is only Kate because she is the sick one, but Anna, who can become sick at any moment, is the only one providing for Kate. The parents believe that Anna will never become sick because she always provides for Kate and will always be there for

In this scene where Kate is ready to die and relive every moment of your life and the beautiful moments that happened to his family.

Fiberglass insulation is used in about 90% of homes in the United States and has the potential to cause multiple serious health issues. Hemp insulation can take all these concerns out of the picture with many of the ways hemp is naturally ecologically-friendly. Hemp comes from a cousin of the cannabis sativa plant which also produces marijuana. When hemp is grows it grows at a very fast rate and can be easily grown in many conditions. The plant is used to make the hemp insulation called hempcrete with other additives. The other parts of the plant can be used to make other various essential items for the human life. Although hemp is illegal in the United States it can be grown through a system of licensed growers in the United States and can also be bought from growers in Canada and Europe and shipped to the United States. Using hemp and a lime is the best alternative for an insulation because both products are readily available and easy to obtain. Hemp can be believed to be the future of insulation for many reasons.

Why Medical Cannabis is still federally banned? Well Marijuana has been illegal since the 1950’s, due to the enactment of federal laws like the “Narcotics management Act of 1956” that set necessary sentences that relate to drug-related offenses, as well as marijuana. A Montana grower is now in prison. “Chris Willams a Medical Marijuana grower in Montana now faces the rest of his life in prison because a Medical Marijuana law was canceled.”This law didn't include the medical use of Marijuana. I believe Medical Marijuana ought to be legal below tax and distributed to only patients with treatable diseases.

Anna and Kate both lose and win something very special to them. Anna, for example won the lawsuit, while Kate received her wish. Judge DeSalvo said, “At this time, I’m going to declare you medically emancipated from your parents” (507). However, Anna lost her life riding inside Campbell's car on

The character of Sara is most adamant that it is in Anna’s best interests to act as a donor for Kate. However I do not think she meant for Anna to be at the mercy of her sister. I think she was only intent on doing what had to be done to keep her family intact by preserving the life of Kate. Sara believes that the social, emotional and psychological best interests of a person depend upon the happiness in the family in which they grow up in. This gives the idea that Anna’s best interests and welfare are closely tied to those of her family, who

The film documents the life of a girl, Kate, who at a young age was diagnosed with Leukemia. Her parents resorted to duplicating Kate’s chromosomes through the conception of another child, Anna. Her parents with the intent of being a match to donate bone marrow to her sister created Anna. The film goes on to portray the countless surgeries and procedures Anne has undergone in attempt to prolong Kate’s life. As Anna gets older, she becomes aware of her conception, and her parents intentions with her creation. It has come to the point where Kate is in dire need of a kidney, and Sara is demanding Anna give up hers. Therefore, Anna

The Fitzgerald’s have a doctor genetically select an embryo as a perfect match for Kate. Nine months later, Anna is born. Every time Kate’s organs fail, they use Anna as “spare parts.” I disagree with the parent’s decision.

My Sister's Keeper is the story of Anna Fitzgerald, who by the age of thirteen has undergone many blood transfusions, numerous surgeries, and multiple bone marrow transplants. “Most babies are accidents, not me. I was engineered, born to save my sister’s life.” At the beginning of the movie Anna explains that she as conceived to be a donor for her sister, Kate. Kate is a 16 year old with renal failure due to a very rare form of leukemia. The girls' parents expect Anna to donate her kidney to help her sister. Instead of donating the kidney, Anna files a lawsuit against her parents for the rights of her own body so that she could not be forced into the surgery against her will. This causes mixed reactions between Anna’s parents, Brain

It’s my kidney, and I want to keep it! This dilemma is subjected in the wonderful novel ‘My Sister’s Keeper.’ A young girl (Anna) is used as a savior sibling in order to keep her older sister (Kate) alive. “I was born because a scientist managed to hook up my mother’s eggs and my father’s sperm to create a specific combination of precious genetic material (7).” Her goal is to live a life without being “cautious.”

Does Anna feel objectified as a "spare parts baby"? Does Kate feel objectified as a sick person?

I believe Anna was right to listen to Kate because she passed away knowing that she was not going to live and was not going to be put someone’s life in danger to save her own. I believe what she did was right because Anna was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from acute leukemia. Her sister's dependency on her, Anna was unable to live the life she wants. Anna in and out of the hospital constantly, she cannot take part in extracurricular activities such as cheerleading or soccer. Knowing that she will have to donate one of her kidneys to her sister, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Believing that she would not survive the surgery, Kate wants to die. Anna wins the case, and due to her sister's wishes does not donate her kidney. In conclusion , it shows that Anna not only fulfilled her sisters wishes, but also stood up for herself because she did not want to go under the knife, and go through a painful process not knowing what could possibly happen to her. It not only shows a symbolic sisters role, but also elaborates on equality for justice, and personally rights. Therefore, I do believe what she did for herself and her sister was the right thing to do because she did not deserve to go through such a difficult
