Final Reflection Questions
The best part of this novel was when Amelia really wanted to learn more about her donor. She lies to her parents and asked one of her friends to take her to meet her donor's family. She got to her donor's house and after a little while of talking to the family, she started feeling very sick. She was then taken to the hospital where she found out that the medication that she is taking now needed to change. She was going to be okay. This part was very good because I just wanted to keep reading to find out what happens next.
4. Also, in your opinion, why did the author choose to write this particular book? What was the big lesson to be learned?
The author chose to write this book because it show that if someone is very sick or going to die, then they can get better and live their life. You have to believe that you can get better to live on.
