Identity Quotes in My Sister's Keeper

How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #4

I think half the battle is figuring out what works for you, and I am much better at being a mother than I ever would have been as a lawyer. (1.3.15)

Sara has chosen to identify herself as "mother" and she takes the title seriously. Do you think she's a good mother? And if not, does that make her a lousy attorney?

Quote #5

Either this girl loses her sister, I think, or she's going to lose herself. (3.5.61)

Anna's identity is so inextricably linked to Kate's that she runs the risk of becoming Kate. But no, as we've said before, Anna needs to find a way to separate herself from Kate to become herself, and the only way to do that might be for Kate to die.

Quote #6

I have a feeling that if I really try to figure out who I am without Kate in the equation, I'm not going to like who I see. (4.4.4)

Maybe this explains why Anna waffles back and forth so much on her decision. How much will her sister's death affect her? Okay, she's not as selfish as we're making her out to be.
