So far I have read very little of it because I have had very little time to sit and read lately, and I am not very into it plus its not the first book so i will be switching to the first one very soon.
Currently I’m still reading My Sister’s Keeper By Jodi Picoult. I’m currently on p. 40. The section I’m reading or chapter is in the perspective of the father “Brian” of the story. So far I’m still in the intro of the story, which includes some of the background of Anna and Kate’s story. How things were when they were little, how Brian and Sara (Anna, Kate, and Jesse’s Mother and Father) react to Kate’s diagnosis to cancer. Brian is more silent than Sara, he thinks more about how he is going to say things before he actually does. Whereas Sara speaks mostly speaks off of impulse. Kate is the main focus of the attention from her parents whereas Anna feels like the “trouble maker” of the family and Jesse the eldest child is the “lost child.” These are some of the things I have picked up early in the reading.
So far in my novel, Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, has been about her battle with depression. She has told stories of how she went on and off medication, why, when it started, and how she acts on and off medication. What I've found out about her, other than what's already been said: She is twenty-five, not in college, tried cocaine, has friends, visits the doctor regularly, and has issues. She is a complicated girl who is very shy and believes she is hopeless. So far, I'm starting to realize why the novel is titled "Prozac Nation". It almost scares me how emotionally wrecked she is. This novel is very interesting to me because of how she describes things, such as a kind friend who wants to comfort her as a bad person, or how she calls a friend who gave her cocaine as a very very good friend who has good ideas.
In My Sister’s Keeper Anna’s parents find out that she has gotten a lawsuit against her parents, for her rights to her own body. Anna is feeling like her family hates her for wanting to stop helping her sister, her mother has shown that she is upset, Kate has explained she isn’t mad but disappointed, and her father has no words because he doesn’t want to feel like he is choosing sides.
