In all of Jodi Picoult's book somebody is being struck with tragedy. In her books, My Sisters Keeper, A Change of Heart, and 19 Minutes, Picoult's sets up a devastating scene at the begining of each book. In each book somebody is dealing with a death or someone fighting death, weather it be a high school shooting, a young girl fighting cancer, or an innocent man getting convicted of a murder that he didn't commit. Picoult's use of straightforward language gives off a sense that she doesn't care about the norm of our society and what they will think. In all of her books she is very blunt, and at sometimes very vulgar, but she almost has to be in order to get the point across. Her books deal with very controversial things that are going on in our society, but also things that make us think.
