You’re sitting there watching your sister throwing up blood, in pain and she is trying to act like she is okay and nothing is wrong. However she is the exact opposite and no one else knows what is going on but you. You are the girl that can help her; you are the girl that knows everything about her; you are the girl that can change her life but you can’t tell anyone else.
In the book My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult, there is a young girl named Anna. This girl has all the power in the world to make a change and also knows things that no one else knows about. If knowing something that no one else knows that can way very heavy on your heart and cause you to go to extremes. In this book Anna had an older sister named Kate and she had a very horrible disease and wanted to die. Yes, Anna is the only on that knows that her sister wanted to die but she is scared that her mom or dad. Anna is that girl that can take Kate out of her misery and pain but she is to scared, scared of life, scared of herself.
This girl needs to get a grip on reality and learn what is right and what is wrong. This secret would not have been a good one to keep to yourself, when it was about someone’s life. This is kind of like a psychiatrist; you have to sit there and listen to all their problems, the emotions and their feelings. You also have to keep what they tell you quite because they trust you not to go around and tell everyone. However the second that is involves someone’s life you have to tell.
There you are the girl that knows something that could make her life so much better; there you are the girl that could be the difference between life and death; there you are the girl that can. You can only keep a secret for so many reasons until to involves someone’s life.
