Answer and Explanation:
The quote shown above reflects on how people position themselves in the way their peers behave in relation to it. In a simpler form, the quote indicates that if a person feels devalued by his peers, he will tend to isolate himself and distance himself from them, as a way of self-protection and conservation of his well-being.
In the novel "My sister's keeper" we can relate this concept to both Kate and Anna Fitzgerald. That's because, Kate feels that her life is tiring for her family, especially for her sister; in that case, as a form of protection, she wishes to die. Anna, on the other hand, feels that her family uses her for interests that are not hers and therefore, as a form of protection, she wants to separate from the family.
