Time for your own thoughtful questions and responses...

Today your blog comment must have two specific parts. First, it must answer another student's question in a thoughtful manner. (Please remember to indicate the person whom you're responding to by capitalizing or putting his/her name in bold letters.) The second part of the blog must be your own question posed to other bloggers. Your question ought to be thoughtful and as open-ended as possible.

Good luck!

The Overlord Torey Phillips
Question:
How do you think Kate felt when she looked through Anna's binder of money and Campbell's clippings?

She may have felt betrayed by her sister wanting to hire a lawyer to get herself freed. She may think she was the one who hurt her sister and now feels she hurt her sister.

Question 2:
Do you think Jesse sides with Anna on the subject or he believes in her helping Kate?

Q: If your were Jesse when he found out that he wasn't a match for Kate, how do you think you would feel? Can you blame Jesse for how he feels and what he does?

A: I am responding to The Overlord Torey Phillips' question about where Jesse resides in the decision of helping Anna or Kate... I personally feel that Jesse is sisding with Anna, especially with everything that he has done to help Anna.

What do you think will happen after the court situation is done, do you think she will give her sister what she needs or do you think she would just let her sister stay in the hospital without giving her nothing.

I am responding to DA'SHAUNE UMBLES's question about What do you think will happen after the court situation is done, do you think she will give her sister what she... I think Anna will go through with it and end up feeling guilty of her sister's death in the end.

Q: DO YOU THINK ANNA WANTS TO HELP HER SISTER OR DOES SHE WANT TO LET HER SUFFER.

A: I'M RESPONDING TO KAYLA GECKLER. IF I WAS JESSE I WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY AS JESSE DID SO I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR HOW HE FEELS.

Q: If you were Anna, would you want to go through with the court case (even if it means that your sister would die?)

A: Answer to Torey Phillips' question:

I think Jesse was glad that Anna was standing up for herself, but I think he was also torn because it would mean Kate would die. Jesse mentioned that Anna was his only proof that he was born into that family... and he aslo said that Anna is making him look a little better... he might be a screw up, but at least he isn't suing his parents. (But Jesse did offer to donate his kidney and was upset when he found out he wasn't a match... which means he is upset that Kate is dying.)

A:I am responding to BILLY BROBST question about how there father feels about the court case... Well i think there father should feel that his daughter can do what she wants and if she wants to give her sister a body part she can if thats what it takes to keep her alive because she then done it before.

q:If you were in the same situation as Anna, would you have done the same thing?

Q1:
Do you feel it is right that Anna is signing her sister Kate's death wish by not giving her necessary body parts and/or platelets ?

Q2:
I am responding to Torey Phillips question about how Kate felt when looking through Anna's belongings....Kate probably felt like she was separated from her sister emotionally because they were so close and Anna seemed to always be willing to give parts and blood and to find out that shes not willing to give no more is probably like a "shot to the heart".

Q:Would you consider Anna selfish for going through with the court case?

A: I am responding to KALEIGH CANTER'S question about Anna and the court case... I think that if I was Anna then i would go through with court case. Some people call it selfish, i would call it saving my own butt. I would consider the fact that maybe my sister could die, but the I would ask myself, what if I died?

Q:What do you think is going to happen during the court session and do you think Anna will give her sister her liver?

A:I'm responding to Mark Clemson"s question about does Anna want to help her sister or do she want her to suffer...I think she wants to help her sister because she doesn't want to lose her and also i think she doesn't want to help her because she doesn't want to feel like she is being used also she thinks she has the right to decide if she wants to give her sister her liver not anybody else

Q: Do you think that Kate understands what Anna is trying to do and the implications of what will happen if she succeeds?

A: I am responding to Mark Clemson's question of does Anna want to help her sister of let her suffer. I believe that Anna does not want her sister to suffer. You can see her concern whenever Kate gets sick and no matter what reasons she may have to file her court case, she loves her sister and doesn't want to her be hurt. I think she understands exactly what will happen if she wins the court case and she knows her sister will suffer. But it is not a case of he WANTING her sister to suffer, but a case that she knows that she HAS to let her sister to do what she believes is right.

Q: If you were Brian (the dad), how would you feel? What would be running through your mind?


A: I am responding to Kayleigh Canter's question about putting yourself in Anna situation...
If I were Anna, I would not go through with the case. Even though I want the right to choose my own medical decision, this all could be worked out in other ways then a lawsuit. Perhaps to go to counseling.

Q: If you were Anna, would you try to sue your parents?

A: MARK CLEMSON...I think that Anna wants to help her sister but Anna was just born for that purpose so truthfully Anna isn't trying to let her sister suffer on purpose, she is just tired of being "used".

Q: Do you think that Anna's and Kate's parents are good people? Are their intentions for the best and actions that of good parents? Or do you think they are not good people and unfair to Anna?

A: I am responding to Jacob Waller's question. I believe that Anna is not completely aware of the effects that will come from her actions. I do understand her situation though, as she is tired of being forced to keep her sister alive by her parents and is proving to them that it is her decision to do so or not. Anna may end regretting this path of choice in the end.

Question: Do you really think Anna wants to go on with the case or is she just going along with her lawyer?

TOREY PHILLIPS
Answer: I think Kate felt betrayed. What I mean when I say betrayed is because Anna went behind her back to save up money to basically kill her.

A: I am responding to Oreon Jone's question about my veiw on the book:
At first I didn't even want to read it because I thought it was sick and twisted in a way. Now I'm actually very interested in it because I want to see how it turns out. I'm also very interested in Jesse's character. He has so much buried emotion and I want to see him get closer to his family by the end of the book.

Q: How do you think Anna will feel, if she wins the court case?

A: I am answering CORY ARMSTEAD's question.

I think it is right that Anna is not donating things to her sister. She has the right to her own body and it means she is standing up for herself. ^_^

Q: How do you think Jesse felt when he saw how sick his sister kate was, & how she was throwing up blood?

A: I am responding to Kayla Geckler's question about how Jesse felt when he couldn't donate to Kate... I think Jesse was some what relieved because he didn't have to go through the surgery, but I also think he felt bad because their was no one to donate to her. Yes I can blame Jesse for what he does because he doesn't listen to his parents like he should, and he should be there for his family bcause they are going through a lot of pain dealing with Kate's sickness.

A.I am answering Tim Oyster's question about how Anna will feel if she wins the court case. I think that she will feel relieved that she won't have to give up anymore body parts but, at the same time she probably won't feel too excited that her sister is going to die.

Question:
If you were Kate's parents,would you birth a child to save your other child's life?

Answer:To answer Breanna Williams...
I wouldn't consider Anna selfish to go on with the case because she is looking out for her best interest unlike her parents who is looking out for Kate's. It was very caring for them to created another child to save their child's life but not solely for that reason.

Answer to MERCEDES ANDERSON's Question :"Would you be able to only live for the purpose of keeping someone else alive?"

I mean I wouldn't really have a choice at first if that's what my parents had intended my purpose to be while bringing me into this world. It would kill me to feel like that's all I was brought into this world for...to be used, but I'd have to learn to deal with it until enough was enough like Anna did and take it to court. I would probably be depressed and have suicidal thoughts of trying to end it all for I would be sick of being used because while Im keeping someone else alive I am slowly killing myself...So no I wouldn't be able to live only for the purpose of keeping someone else alive. It's kind of pointless to create a new life just to slowly kill it to keep another one alive for a little longer then their supposed to be, because once Im all used up and dead chances are they'll die shortly after that because they will no longer have their life support (ME) nomore...

If I were Kate's parents I would not birth a child to save another because I would be creating a new life just to kill it in order to save another for a little longer. I would not want to make anyone else suffer or feel unloved and used.

f i were Campbell Alexander I would represent Anna Fitzgerald. Besides the good publicity it might actually be a case worth fighting for. Think about it...a young girl bein used for a lab rat to keep her ever dying sister alive. If thats not a case worth trying then honestly what really are lawyers and attorney's for?! True it would cause a strain on the family but maybe that will finally give Anna the chance to be listened for once and not just heard! So again yes i wood represent Anna it wood benefit her in and me in the long run.Sammy Moore

Anonymous said...

Sammy Moore If I were Campbell Alexander I would not represent Anna. Sure it'd be good publicity and get my name out there, make me look like a good guy...But I wouldn't want to be responsible for the more issues created in the home because of it. I mean sure I would be looking out for Anna's best interest in a way by representing her to end all of the medical work being done on her for her sister's needs. But then if in deed we would win I would feel responsible for Kate's death for she would no longer have the kidney or any other organ donation she would need in order to survive. If in fact we lost the case, it would create many new issues and awkwardness in the Fitzgerald household, I wouldn't want to be responsible for any of that. Either way I feel like there's pros and cons to each decision I would make, but I think it'd be safer to not represent Anna.
