In My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, the main character Anna is struggling with her independence. She has to make the decision whether to continue to save her sister or to become legally emancipated from her parents and no longer have the responsibility she was born to have. This would be a very difficult decision, to have to choose between family and yourself. Anna knows her decision will cause her family much distress but goes along with her plan anyway. If I were in Anna's position I would continue to donate bone marrow and other vital things to my sister. I wouldn't have the courage to stand up to my family and to stand up to family, and to knowingly put myself through more hard times.
