Am I a Keeper?

I do feel that I am someones keeper. I think I was to my grandfather. Before he died, I would always spend my time with him. I would give up my weekends to spend quality time with him. Now that he has passed i finally realize how much he meant to me. It might of been a pain in the butt at the time but it was so worth giving up my time. I made so many great memories with him. In a way, I feel that I was one of the main reasons he kept on living and got better when he was sick. I am so happy with the memories with him.

My Sister's Keeper Intro

My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult is about a girl names Anna. Her older sister, Kate, suffers from Leukemia  and Anna was born so that she could save her sister. Anna was planned to save her sister with her kidney. Throughout the novel, Anna gets a lawyer and wants to sue her mom for medical emancipation which basically is the freedom to make your own medical decisions. It also talks about their brother that doesn't get a lot of attention because its always about Kate and Anna. Many people have told me about this novel. I saw the movie and really enjoyed it.
