Campbell- Campbell goes to the hospital to try to find Anna. He can't find her so he go to talk to Dr. Bergan and when he walks into the office he finds the Doctor busy doing Tai Chi. Campbell went to go get Anna's medical files because the Doctor sent the wrong files. He finds out that they don't have a file for her because her procedure didn't go before the ethics committee. When he was leaving he runs in to Julia in the elevator. Julia tells him that Kate's doctor said that he doesn't think Kate is strong enough for the kidney transplant. Julia also says that she knows what is right for Anna she just needs her to commit because every time Anna's mother says something she backs off. Campbell gets a call from Anna. Jesse stole Judge Newbell's car. Anna wanted Campbell to represent Jesse and he agrees not knowing why he did. Campbell gets Jesse out but he gets his divers license taken away.
Brian- Campbell goes to talk to Brian when he drops off Anna. Brain tells Campbell that he thinks Anna is right and that he would tell the judge that at the hearing. The next day, there was a ambulance call. Some girl OD on something.
Sarah- Finds out that the insurance company will not pay for the transplant because they do not think it is necessary at this time. They have agreed to only pay for ten percent. But her sister comes to watch the kids during the operation and hands them a check for $100,000 covering the cost of the operation. But Brian refuses because the guys at the fire station called people nation wide for donations. But then she later finds out the the donation was only $10,000.
Jesse- Since Jesse no longer has his vehicle he steals a dump truck. He goes to see the homeless guy Dan to get his stuff and asks if he would like to come with him to light the building on fire. When he lights the shed on fire Dan tells him that there was a homeless guy living in there but not anymore. So Jesse goes in and burns his and on a piece of metal but finds Rat and brings him out of the shed. Once he puts him down he starts running in the opposite direction.

Sarah, Anna's mother- Is about the past years when she was pregnant with Anna. Sarah and her husband go on T.V. to tell their story about how Anna was made, they shared information on hate mail that they have gotten because people are thinking that they are trying to make a designer baby when they really didn't get to pick what color of eyes she will have or what color of hair or if she will be six feet tall. Then she goes on to the night that Anna was born saying that she was the most worried about how umbilical cord was cut and that they nurses were very careful with it.
Julia- (A new character that is introduced) She is now Anna's guardian ad litem. She takes Anna to the zoo to try to get her to open up but Anna doesn't. All she tells Julia is that she use to play hockey and that she doesn't have any friends because you can't have anyone over when your sister needs to rest all the time. Then when they go back to Anna's house Jesse's jeep is back from the hospital and her mother comes out yelling at Anna until she realizes that Julia is with her. Julia asks Sarah if she has anytime to talk but Sarah tells her no because Kate has been readmitted to the hospital. So Julia leaves and goes to see Campbell and when she gets there you can tell that they've had a past together.
Campbell- He is at his office doing paper work when Julia walks in. They talk a little about their past and you find out that they use to go out. They then talk about the case and Julie tells Campbell that Anna's mother is saying that the trial is not going to happen. Campbell is furious and says that he will have the court take Anna out of the house until the trial is over with, but Julie tells him that it's not right to do that. He then goes into memories about when he first met Julie and what she looked like and how everyone though that she was weird because her hair was pink. He then switches back to the present day. He goes to Anna's house and he talks to her about Julia. Anna and Campbell talk about everyday things, he tells her that he has never done this kind of thing where he goes to clients houses and just talks to them. Campbell then goes to Julia's apartment to give her Anna's medical records. Campbell gets into a fight with Julia's sister Izzy thinking it was Julia. Julia and Campbell start to talk about what they have been up to since they have not been taking since high school. But then his dog Judge senses that his pulses start to go weird so therefore he has to leave.
Anna- She talks about her childhood and how when she looks around the family room there is barley any picture of herself, unlike Kate. She says when you have some kind of disease or sickness, everyone treats you nicely and when you have a sister that is sick you are also treated with respect. When Jesse comes to pick up Anna she tells him that she would like to try a cigarette and he laughs at her knowing that she would not like it and he was right. Anna told him that she would like to go see Kate at the hospital so Jesse told her that he would make a distraction for her so their mother would leave the room. So he comes down the hospital hall acting like he is drunk and recking into things when Sarah hears this, she comes out and takes him down to the cafeteria. Anna said that Kate use to say she liked it when people forgot that she was sick because they thought she was a normal and nothing was wrong with her.
Brian- There is a fire and a little girl is stuck in the apartment so Brian goes in to save her but the little girl was not in the room where she was suppose. Then he thinks to himself, "Where would I go if I was scared?" He realizes the mothers room. Brian finds her and brings her out to the mother that is waiting outside. Next Julia came to see Brian to talk to him about Anna and what he thinks is right for her. Brian tells her that if Anna wasn't ok, she wouldn't have filed the lawsuit.

My Reading History
I love to read. I mostly read during the summer time or during school breaks. This is because I have more time and I don't have to worry about getting homework done. I read anywhere that it is quiet like in my room. The time that I read is during the night time but then again the time doesn't matter if it is the summer time and I'm not working. I tend to read a lot when I am bored or if I have nothing else to do. The only time that I quite reading a book is if it is something that is very stupid. If I don't get the book i will read it a few times or ask someone that has read it already.
There are many different types of books I have read. Such as, mystery, love stories, tragedies, ones that teach life lessons and even killings. Some books that i have read are the Twilight series which are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I have read Angels Fall, Blue Smoke and many more by Nora Roberts. Also the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien, Change of Heart, Nineteen Minutes, The Tenth Circle, Vanishing Acts, My Sisters Keeper (the book I am reading now), Second Glance, Perfect Match, Salem Falls, Plain Truth, Keeping Faith, Harvesting the Heart all by Jodi Picoult. I'm not into Harry Potter.

Beginning of the Book...
For pages through 50.
My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult was published in 2004. The chapters are different characters, so it gets confusing sometimes. Anna is a thirteen year old girl that was born to save her sisters life. Whenever her sister Kate is hospitalized, Anna is too. Katie has acute promyelocytic leukemia. So far Anna has given a lot of things to Katie from her own body. Such as, cord blood, she has given Kate cells when she has a relapse, doctors have taken bone marrow many times, granulocytes, and peripheral blood stem cells. Now she is being told that she has to give one of her kidneys to her sister. But Anna doesn't want to, so she goes and gets a lawyer who's name is Campbell Alexander. When Anna tells Campbell that she wants to sue her own parents for the right to her own body he thinks that she is talking about her being pregnant. Once she explains to him what all is going on he agrees to represent her. Anna tells him that she does not have any money so he tells her she can shine his door knobs in the office. The chapter that is for Anna's mom, Sarah, is about when her and Brian, Anna's father, first found out that Katie was diagnosed with leukemia. The chapter that is for Anna's father, Brian, is about how he realizes that no one ever pays a lot of attention to Anna or Jesse, Anna and Kate's older brother, because everything is always about Kate. Brian is a Firefighter so he goes to the fire station on most nights so he calls the firehouse his second home. This is what is happening in the first 50 pages.
