My Sister's Keeper relates to many of the other books we have read this year because of the isolation the characters experience. Jesse experiences self inflicted isolation because he hates being home to see the problems his family is undergoing. Kate experiences social isolation because she cannot attend school and only interacts with the people at the hospital and her family. When she meets Taylor, goes dress shopping, and attends the dance she realizes how amazing a social life can be. However, when Taylor dies, she hates everything and quickly returns to her isolation. Characters in our school books such as Chief Bromden from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey and John from Huxley's Brave New World.
