My Sister's Keeper Part 3 / Chapter 7 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Anna

  • After talking to her dad about Kate, Anna goes to visit Jesse in his apartment over the garage.
  • She wants to visit Kate in the hospital, so Jesse drives her. They chat in the car, and Kate smokes her first cigarette. Delicious. (Not—"It's like licking a barbecue" (3.7.33), she says.)
  • At the hospital, Jesse pretends to be drunk so that his mother will leave Kate's bedside to come get him.
  • When Sara leaves the room, Anna sneaks in to be with Kate, alone.
  • She crawls into bed with Kate and tells us, "I didn't come to see Kate because it would make me feel better. I came because without her, it's hard to remember who I am" (3.7.86).
