Jacob Have a Loved

Katherine Paterson’s “Jacob Have I Loved” there is a strong feeling of jelousy between Sara Louise and her twin sisiter Caroline. Caroline always has the attention while Sara Louise feels left out. Louise’s jeolusy soon turns into hate and all she wants is to get away from her sister. She decides to save money so she can go to a boarding school, so she works with her friend Call catching crabs. When her chance finally comes of leaving Rass Island, her parents decided that is Caroline the one who should go to New York to continue her singing lessons. Call also leaves the isalnd and goes to a military school, and later falls in love with Caroline and decides to get marry with her. Sara Louise decides to break free from the island and find a place where she belongs and also finds the man of her life.
