Final Blog Post For First Trimester

                 The things that I have struggled with though the process of blogging this trimester. One of the thing I have struggled with blogging this trimester is when I would write my blog post I didn't catch my errors. The way I worked though and overcame this problem is that I would reread my post once out loud then silent to myself. That really helped with catching my grammar errors then I would go though and fix  my errors. One of my strengths that I have to say I know I have did well at is linking evidence and videos that is similar to my book. Also I have noticed that I'm really good at telling a lot about a story in very little.
                  The best blog post I have did would be the latest blog post My Sisters Keeper. This blog post was one of my strongest blog post because this has really good cites. Also it has a lot of pictures that give a visual of the book. This blog post I include the way I relate to this book. I include the trailer for the movie which is a lot like the book so if you have never read the book you can kind of get what it is about its almost like a book trailer. I include some questions I still have about the book and I would like to know what some people though about the questions I have asked about the book. I give a summary of the book and let people know a little bit more what's going on with Kate by linking a webpage to the blog that tells you about the cancer she has Leukemia.
                   Some goals I have for next trimester for my blog is I want to find more books that I have interest in so I would like to read more books. I also would like to write a little bit longer post.  Some areas I'm going to work towards next trimester is how many books I'm going to read I want to read more books that I did. But I have had a hard time finding books I like. For the writing part of my blog post I would like to go more into detail about some parts of my book.   

My Sisters Keeper

             The book My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Was truly a great book I really enjoyed it, it was one of the best books I have ever read. Its about a girl named Kate that was diagnosis Leukemia.  "Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells. It starts in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside most bones. Bone marrow is where blood cells are made." This came fro the website WebMD there link is http://www.webmd.com/cancer/tc/leukemia-topic-overview . So if you wanted to know a little bit more about Leukemia. An understand what is going on with Kate a little bit more this will explain a lot about that cancer . Her sister Anna is doing every thing possible to help her sister Kate. There parents had Anna genetically engineer to help save her sister Kate she feels like that's one of the only reason she was on earth for so that's what's she is determined to do. But though the book she wants to become her own person. She has a brother but he was not a match for his sister Kate. They made this book into a movie it was so good and the movie is so good. Here is some pictures from the movie and the trailer.

Questions:
By Anna doing what Kate wanted did Anna do the right thing?
How would you feel with your parents had you to save your sister?
Should the ending be different?
Is the theme right vs. wrong?

How I Can Relate:
             I can relate to this book because my Aunt Liz had Acute Leukemia. She had fought the battle for about 5 years. She died in her forty's that's pretty young. She did every thing she could do. They took my Aunt Bernice's  bone marrow and gave it to my Aunt Liz that is called a bone marrow transplant. She lived two years long because of having that bone marrow transplant. The Dr. suggested  Chemotherapy treatment so she did chemotherapy treatments. This all changed how she look. This is a very sad case its was hard on her. But just as hard on the family to see her going though her pain and suffering. When she died she left behind two sons, and a grandson, also very many people who loved her dearly. She was described as a loving, caring, outgoing, but to sum it up just a wonderful person.

Recommend:

             I would recommend this book to someone who loves a great story. But I feel most girls would like the book better than the guys it is kind of  a chick-flick but overall I would recommend this book to just about anybody who loves a good read. This would be one of the books I would read again and again. And the movie is just as good so I would say the same about that.
