I enjoyed the parts where the Giver gave memories to Jonas that their people had never experienced even though we go through them each day. It was a bit confusing at the start when I didn't really know what was going on but as it progressed I started to begin liking it, Overall it was a great story and it was well written. I also liked how there world had 1s, 2s,3s and so on instead of year 1, 2, 3 and kids were chosen into families instead of born.]]> 2022-02-24 06:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063988541 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990440 My review on the giver was that i really enjoyed it. The reason why is that it used a futuristic and adventurous/fantasy type of text. Its about a world where everyone is the same and has no discrimination. Everyones memories were lost and the main character Jonas is chosen to uncover the truth. It had multiple conflicts and it is in general a really good story.]]> 2022-02-24 06:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990440 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990539 The giver is an incredible book as it has an easy to follow plot and slowly builds up to a massive ending. At the start of the book I found it very boring but as it went on I found it very interesting the constant incline of tension then the resolution we all wanted just a great end to a great book. My favorite part of the book was the selection process as we all thought that Jonas wouldn't get an assignment and ended up getting the most important one. In my opinion it was the best book I have read in the last year.]]> 2022-02-24 06:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990539 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990741 I personally found the beginning of the story a little bit confusing however as the main character progresses through the story to when he begins to see the world in different ways I began to really enjoy the novel. I found the way all of the people are growing up in a school system with unique things at each level verry intersting]]> 2022-02-24 06:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063990741 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063991241 I like how Jonas had some internal conflicts because it shows an element of realism and shows how he is different from the rest. I also like how he is different and even though people think he is crazy and the whole society is against him (except for the giver) he stays true to himself. There were many conflicts in this text which I like and there was a lot of pressure on the Giver and Jonas to make sure that the Giver didn't fail training the new Receiver (like he did last time) and also so that Jonas wouldn't quit because of the pain from WW2. ]]> 2022-02-24 06:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063991241 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063991354 My thoughts on the Giver were extremely positive. At first the town seemed almost perfect but as the story went on the plot thickened and darkened. The story was written well to hold suspense and a feeling of something off. The memories and characters had so much to them as well, overall I loved the giver.]]> 2022-02-24 06:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063991354 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063991545 Personally, I liked the giver, it had a very intriguing plot and story about a person (the giver) gives out memories.

Only some bits of the novel was interesting but this far I have not really enjoyed it. At the start its very slow. I wasn't invested in it. It kind of feels old timey and not up to date. I feel once I get a little more through in the book and I may like it a bit more.]]> 2022-02-24 06:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063992733 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063993253 I enjoyed the giver because of the dystopian world that they live in. One part of the book that I really like was at the twelves ceremony when the elder called out everyone's job and skipped Jonas but when the elder called out his name it turned out he had the most important job. the book was very well written and I enjoyed but one thing I disliked was the start which was a bit confusing]]> 2022-02-24 06:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063993253 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063993351 I liked the giver because it was a realistic and scary thought of what the coming future will be like. It intrigued me because of the way that the author depicted the dystopian world and found interesting ways to make the flaws become a conflict. I like the structure of the book and the different twists that came in some of the chapters.
One part of the book i really enjoyed was when i found out the strange thing Jonas was seeing colour, this is because i cannot feel how he felt and describe the sensation of it looked like to him. I also was surprised by the twist when Jonas found out that releasing would kill people. Overall i quite like the book but was a bit disappointed at the dull end confusing ending]]> 2022-02-24 06:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063993351 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063997270 I did not like the giver, because it was very unattractive, there is no major action, conflict or plot. The only thing that happens in this story is that Jonas gets an important job and then runs away. The most weird part about this book is that everybody in the world is colour blind.]]> 2022-02-24 06:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2063997270 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064210081 I haven't finished the book yet but what I have read of it so far is great. It is a good dystopian themed book. It described the memories that the giver gave to Jonas well. They also had a similar world to us that was much more restrictive from our point of view but from their point of view, it is a safer world. I didn't understand some of the terms at the start such as being "released" or peoples "assignments" but as the book went on it started to make more sense. 👍]]> 2022-02-24 09:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064210081 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064245596 I really liked the book, 'The giver' because it is set in a dystopian world where it seems perfect until Jonas uncovers the ghastly truth behind the town. Although some parts of it weren't clear from the start, it clarified the terms as it went further into the story. This would be a good recommendation to anyone that likes some mystery with a lot of dystopia added to it. ]]> 2022-02-24 09:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064245596 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064330836 In my opinion the Giver was quite an interesting book. I really liked that the author was always hiding something, a secret that would be revealed later on in the story. My favourite part of the book was when Jonas and Gabriel got to relive the memory of sliding down the hill on a sledge.]]> 2022-02-24 10:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064330836 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064340235 The Giver it a very unique story about a boy who realises that his whole world is the defined to one location with the same lifestyle. This story does not have the ending that gives people closure because instead of telling you what happens at the end it gives you ability to make your own ending. In conclusion, I did not like this book because of its consistent themes and strange storyline.]]> 2022-02-24 10:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064340235 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064506346 George Zhang]]> 2022-02-24 13:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2064506346 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2065979813 The Giver is a Dystopian book based in the future where a new civilization has been created and every body that lives in it thinks it is perfect and doesn't know anything out side of there city like colour and pain. I have personally really liked the Giver because of there society and every thing they do in there society is completely different to ours, i also enjoyed it because i haven't read many books that are like this and it was a different experience to what i usually read. ]]> 2022-02-25 07:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2065979813 https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2067852001 The Giver is a dystopian book set in the future. The main characters name is Jonas and he has been assigned the job of holding memories from the past because it would bring pain and suffer to everyone if they have to share the memories. I enjoyed the start and the middle of the book very much. But the end made me dislike the book. It made me dislike it because it is a very fast and inconclusive ending. I believed that the ending was unnecessary and it could've ended in a different way. In which it ruined the book and story in its entirety for me. ]]> 2022-02-27 01:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaru/2aruuleo2ho6d0zq/wish/2067852001
