My Sister’s Keeper: 49. Thursday: Anna Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Anna observes the rain. It’s the kind of rain that feels like a giant shower and evokes apocalyptic images of floods and Noah’s Ark. She describes the water cycle as it evaporates and comes back down again: how water never stops moving, but repeats its process over and over again, “like everything else.”
Anna’s comparison between the rain and the apocalypse creates an ominous tone for the day, reflecting the gravity of Judge DeSalvo’s impending judgment.
