Dear Jodi Picoult,
I used to think being selfless meant giving out a compliment, giving my old clothes away, or maybe even volunteering to help decorate a dance after school, but after I read your book, My Sister’s Keeper, I knew that there was so much more I could do. Your characters were so inspiring. They did anything they could to save Kate’s life and although sometimes they went too far, they inspired me to want to become someone like them.
Your book has really changed my outlook on life. When I picked it up, I figured that it would be just another book to read over summer vacation, you know, something that would be nice to pass the day away but as soon as I read the first chapter I knew it would be different. As I read through each chapter, the more I understood what it meant to be selfless. I’m one of those people who read a book in a day or two and think nothing of it, but My Sister’s Keeper had a different effect. I read the book in a day, but for weeks and weeks after I had turned the last page I kept on thinking about it and how the characters were so willing to give up their lives for someone else.
