Analysis Of The Novel My Sister's Keeper And The Fault In Our Stars

have failed her as a mother, being a mother is the epitome of femininity, the ability to care for and protect one’s children. Sara is a strong character in my opinion because I feel like she experienced the most changes all through the novel than her family and the other fundamental characters.

Sara experiences a couple of changes with regards to how she was and how she felt towards Anna. At the point when Sara fell pregnant with Anna, she had "not by any means considered the specifics of this life she was carrying. She had thought of this girl just regarding what she would have the capacity to improve the situation the little girl she was so desperate to save . Once more, her dreams for the child were no less commended; she planed for her

It also shows that modern teen literature is not always cliché and can take serious issues and make them relatable. These novels are also a great representations of the modern woman going through a life threatening illness without making the illness the main focus but by also acknowledging other aspects of life that affect how one deals with illness.
They do well in steering away from the common dreadful metaphors of illness in literature by discussing them in a realistic way to conjure acceptance that death is a reality of life. They also show the impact of the use of/belief that illness as a metaphor for death and fixating on it and how it can affect one’s journey through life.

These novels do not use victim blaming language like Susan Sontag suggests. The use of victim blaming language to elevate or add more drama to the illness is misguiding the reader and going against the aspect of feminism that aims to educate and inform society about its issues and it is also insensitive. These literary works do well in the representation of cancer, by portraying it as it is and not sugar coating its harsh realities. Cancer is an illness that many people are infected and affected by. It is novels like these that they can relate to on an emotional
