My sisters keeper

The story of my sisters keeper is all about a family. It talks about a family they love each other. The movie began of the main character anna because she writing all what happen to her family to remember their memories about her sister. I really enjoy watching movie my sisters keeper was very sentimental and touching. The movie is better and makes me tear because of how kate suffered her illness at the early age. Im proud of anna who just wants to give some of her body parts in order to keep her sister alive. Her loving mother gave her best for her children to be safe because of emotion she already forgot her obligation to her family. Kate showing her respect and importance of her family she decide to rest in peace thats why she ask a favor to her little sister to sue their parents to stop them and let them go. The family accepts her even if it is hard for them. In this world there are choices and there are option, no permanent in this world, the important matter of this story is kate accept that shes dying.

Jabonero, Jenno C. BSN-321 Title: My Sisters Keeper (2009) Director: Nick Cassavetes Major Characters: Cameron Diaz play as Sara Fitzgerald, the controlling mother Jason Patric play as Brian Fitzgerald, the patriarch Abigail Breslin play as Anna Fitzgerald, seeks medical emancipation Sofia Vassilieva play as Kate Fitzgerald, suffer from Cancer of the bone (Leukemia) Evan Ellingson play as Jesse Fitzgerald, as low self-concept son Alec Baldwin play as Campbell Alexander, a lawyer of Anna

Reaction: The movie I just watched is really emotional and heartfelt. It is one of the outstanding movie I ever seen, wherein this kind of scenes is actually what we seen in the real scenario of having a chronically ill person. Every person have their own preferences and to preserve once life is the first to be valued. Any experience of illness may bring about a degree of disruption in a persons life. For the case that Kate suffered Leukemia required a long term management. The family face major changes not just ones medical condition but both social relationships that family is dealing with as well as in their own personal self- concept. Its hard for us to learn the so called acceptance because having a person who is significant to our life is the major loss that we still want to stay for long because they already established the love of the family. For me the most important feature of the film is the responsibility of true parents. Wherein we can see how the development of the family is going, to prevent any loss of every members they still find a best solution, the responsibilities that put at comfort and grow up with healthy body, mind and spirit. Even the film is not really centered on spiritual basis, it is already expected that God does the help by helping themselves. Until to the last minute of Kates life, she is diverting her body to improve her condition. The courage she is expressing and the love she is providing to her family remains her condition to live for. To reflect Kates suffering in emphatic way the degree of pain suffering provides and the degree she is tolerating is very appreciated of fighting her own condition. Anna is engineered genetically and she is the medium for Kates survival or a product to provide a donor for her sisters chronic condition. In this situation, I dont agree about their way of saving life for Kate, because its not yet sure for the success of this treatment although disease progression is controlled, yet the condition of this procedures provides undesirable consequences for Anas health. Although I am so proud of Anna because of her assertiveness that she is valued, her self-concept remains strong. And because of her choice, she is concerning her preservation of life

and she agreed with lawyer to sue her own mother, so she will not disturbed anymore of harvesting her own organ to her sister. The movie shows how some parents will do anything for their children, and often the child's own concerns and best interests are not taken into consideration, we always have our own will to follow and no one could judge it unless God do. The movie excerpt are providing the tension of relationship between parents to child (where also Jesse, which I believe disturbed mind, where suppose to be cared for and Anna who is fighting her life against their parents will and Kate who is suffered to cancer) and the husband and wife misunderstood issues. I feel mixed emotions, perceiving happy, madness, guilt, even love that makes me giggle between Kate and her boyfriend, some surprises and tearful moments could tugged the viewers heart which makes the film unique. The film is overall outstanding and played the role appropriate to the scene. If me, myself a believe future nurse of todays generation I could provide the best care for every terminally ill patients although not exactly the cure but the best quality of care that nurse could render is the best medium for improving and extending their life, to the extent that God provide her.
