 * Reading Reflection 1**

My Sisters Keeper is a very well written, fantastic book in my opinion. However one thing bothered me and even confused me a bit. The fact that the book flashed back over 10 years then went back to the present. This made it very easy to confuse Sara’s past and present feelings. I also thought it was odd how only Sara’s flashbacks were included, and not Brian’s. Besides that, Sara as a character is very developed and complex to me. She claims to care about all her children, but seems to only focus on Kate, not putting the other children at the same priority level as Kate. This situation, or ones like it, can occur all the time. Parents will never begin to fathom the thought of losing a child, so most will do anything in their power to keep them alive. Having a medical career, especially in my case because I want to work with children, situations like this may occur in my future patients families.
