Jesse

As I have been reading My Sister's Keeper, Jesse Fitzgerald's character really stands out to me. All his life sense his sister Kate was born he has been watching from the sidelines, not knowing exactly what to do with himself sense his parents are always wrapped up in Kate's health. He doesn't know how to live a life that isn't all about Kate. He really does love his sisters and wants nothing but the best for them. Jesse is very smart even if he does drugs because he realizes that since his parents are so worked up in Kate that he can get away with anything, without consequences. Most people may say its for the attention he never fully experienced, but it cant be because Jesse is used to not getting as much attention as a normal child. It comes with the territory of having a sick sibling. Jesse is a troubled child because although he is not sick, like Kate, or might as well be sick, like Anna, he is being dragged down into the same dark cave as they are.
