Summary of Chapters 1-4
This past
week I started reading The Giver and until now it has been an amazing
experience. The book first introduces the main character, Jonas. He lives in
The Community, a place were all is perfect and
people don't have feelings. His whole life is going to change
dramatically since in a month he is going to turn 12 and be assigned a job that
he doesn't know. I also learned about his family and friends, Lilly,
Asher and Fiona, that play a huge roll in this novel. I also learned about
Gabriel that is a baby that is very special since he has light colors just like
Jonas. Now Jonas is doing his volunteer hours so in December
he can be assigned a job by the elders. Until now this book has been
wonderful and I can’t wait to read the next chapters.
Text Response
His father
thought. "No, I don't think so. Of course the Elders are so
careful in their observations and selections."
This quote
made me think of a lot of things that could happen in Jonas future. When Jonas
turns 12 he is going to be assigned a job by the elders but his job is a
mystery since he doesn't know what job he is going to be assigned. Also Jonas
has done his volunteer hours in many different places and he knows what jobs he
would like and which ones he wouldn't. Since we already read the inside cover I
know for a fact that he is going to be the receiver of memories but I exactly
don't know what this means but definitely it is going to change Jonas life.
Conclusion
Until
know this book has been one of the best I have read and I cant wait to keep
reading. Reading has never been a skill I like but actually The Giver is one of
the few books I have liked and haven't got bored of. The author makes an
incredible job at making you feel like Jonas and also she makes the reader
engage more with the reading because the plot is amazing. I cant wait to
continue reading this book and find out more about Jonas life.
you bring up a very good pint when you say that there are so many options Jonas is compeltley right by being nervous or as he puts it, apprehensive. if you lived in this community what would you chose?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand your question Rafa but thanks for reading my blog and for leaving so meaningful opinions.
DeleteMartin i agree with you when you say that the assignment he will be given will change his life forever
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea for your wonderful opinion.
DeleteMartin,
ReplyDeleteI like your blog because i think that your summary was expressing your ideas of the book. also i enjoy reading what you think about the quote. For me the quote is telling that the elders choose very carefully because the job you have is for the rest of your life, this is an example of not having individuality because they cannot choose their jobs I think the same in the part you said that the job will change his life.
I entirely agree with you Manu not only I think the elders choose very carefully but I also think they chose wisely and correctly.
