My Sister's Keeper Book Vs Movie

I read the book and watched the movie of "My Sister's Keeper." This story is about a girl named Anna who has a sister with cancer, named Kate. Anna was born to donate body parts to Kate to keep her alive. Anna decides that she doesnt want to do it anymore so she gets a lawyer, named Campbell Alexander, to sue her parents to the rights to her own body.

The book and the movie have many simularities to them. They both have some of the same events taking place. At the beginning of both stories, Anna asked Campbell why he had a service dog, and he responded, sarcasticly, that he had an Iron Lung. Also, Campbell did not tell people why he had the dog for the same reason; he did not want people to pity him. Another simulary was Kate meeting Taylor, he was a patient at the hospital. In both stories Kate and Taylor go to the hospital prom togather and Taylor also dies. Also, Kate tries to kill herself. Plus, the only reason Anna was born was to save Kate. Lastly, Anna wins her case. …show more content…

Kate is sick and tired. She is just waiting to die. Anna is confident and persistant. She is very confident by standing up to her parents and she is persistant by not giving up on the lawsuit, eventhough it is ripping her family apart. Campbell is very sarcastic in the beginning of both stories. As it goes on, he begins to open up to Anna, and he becomes more honest. Lastly, Sara, the mother of the family, is very protecting of Kate. Sometimes she ends up hurtung Kate more than protecting
