This book talks about many stories that people talk about their life. One short story that i started reading from this book was a gilr named mellisa who had Illness her sister Stephanie was so sad because of her sister illness. She dirent know what to do about it jest cry and think. This was a difficult situation in the Robs family. Mellisa who was sick and had an illness called cancer. She was about to have depression becasue of jest thinking of her illness she will jest start crying and cried for hours. Mellisa felt she was not the same as the rest of the other girls. She felt indifferent to the rest. She felt like she dirent had no friends but truly she did had lots of friends the thing was that she knew she hadn't that much time of life, she knew she was going to die pretty soon.

i can realate to this. My older sister used to have a sist and she had it for a very long time. She hated going to the doctor and taking so much medicine. i know she hated having it so much but with my help and my familys help we were all strong enought to help her get throught it. They just need to show each other taht they are there for each other no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteHonestly this is heart beaking story even though its on fine print. I personally love my sister soo much and if she was in Mellissas situation i would be super depressed as well,i cant lie and say i wouldnt. I also understand Mellisas view point with feeling different and depressed. I know i would too! I mean how would you keep on living and feeling normal if you know you are stuck with a cancer and are only awaiting to die?I definetly understand how both sisters are feeling. This is they type of sitiuation you dont with upon anyone
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this because I have a family member who has been in a wheel chair her whole life. When she was a baby it was quickly recognized that something wasn't normal with her legs. When we all got to be older is when we actually realized how it would affect her. She would always say how she felt different and hated when people stared. It was a hard time but she got through it. To me this was a very relatable situation.
ReplyDeleteThese part of your book its so sad. I remember when my brother was sick when he was a litte infant. He had liver disease and the doctors scared us because they said it was very serous mostly because he was so little. I felt so sad for my brother. I did not want to loose him.
