the giver
Jonas lives in a world that sameness is necessary. His world is "perfect". There are many things that are in our world that aren't in theres. Almost as there missing. Things such as tv's, 5 or more person families,cars, phones, and most important love. Without all of these thing i wouldn't be able to live, they gave up so many things to live in this world, I don't think I would be able to give up all those things. I am ok with living in a "unsafe" world if it means i can keep all those things.

Music is such a big part of my everyday life. I listen to music everyday when I wake up, when I do my homework, in the car, and before I go to bed . In fact in listening to it right now. Music now of days is a little inappropriate but sure is catchy. My favorite music is pop. I think the community has no music cause music expresses different types of feelings and they want everyone to have the same feelings. I would hate not to have music because music is a part of who I am.
I think that seeing black and white your entire life and then suddenly seeing color would be life changing and shocking. I took a walk and realized that where I live its pretty boring because i'm so used to seeing the colorful trees and flowers. If I was Jonas and walked through my neighborhood it would be a totally different story. He would be facinated by all the magnificant colors and changes from seeing black and white to seeing colored flowers and leaves. Going from seeing black/white and sameness to seeing vivid and vibrant things as little as a ladybug can be life changing. Seeing color would change Jonas' perspective on life in many ways.
Jonas is assigned one of the most important jobs there is. He got the job of the receiver of memory. Well Jonas received a list of rules saying things he can and can't do while doing this job. when he was reading these things he thought to himself that he was always told to not do these things like lying. Jonas had never told a lie. I think that Jonas will meet the giver and the giver will teach him many things. I also think Jonas will make a change in his community.
When I grow up I don't really know what I want to be. I just hope that I have a roof over my head and a wonderful family. As long as I am happy that is all that matters! I love to do other peoples make-up. I believe that my profession would be a make-up artist because that is something that I am really good at!

I waited all of my ambs life for this year to play on this team. “Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” ― C.S. Lewis Jonas lives in a community where you can only have 2 children 1 mom and 1 dad. This story so far takes place in his community and his house. Its a world where your life if pretty much made out for you like your job. Life in this world if different then our lives. We get to chose our job and choose how many kids we have or where we live. I've ever seen any thing like this and I plan on it staying that way. But i have seen it in books such as among the hidden and hunger games.

How would you feel if your life was planned out for you?
If my life was planned out for me I would prabably hate it. I like to live life as it goes. What ever happens happens. If I had my entire life planned out I would know who i marry or how many kids i have or what college I go to. I don't like that i'd rather do/get everywhere my self. Like I want to pick who I want to marry. I don't like knowing whats going to happen tomorrow or the next day I like to live in the present not knowing whats going to hit me next. |
