Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/252573127 Usually when people think about December they think Christmas and Other holidays, in "The Giver" December is like a ceremony for birthdays where everyone in the Utopia Jonah (Never said what the name is)lives in turns a year older. Ones get their names and a family, Eights get ribbons in their hair, Nines get their first bike, and Twelves get their assignments or jobs. After Age Twelve, age doesn't matter afterwards so after the age of twelve their wouldn't be a age ceremony for thirteen or fourteen. ]]> 2018-04-17 13:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/252573127 Ch. 3 Apple Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/253418601 The Perfect Utopia: The Apple represents the sweet moments of life combined together with a bitter core. Like the Utopia Jonah lives in, his Utopia is perfect and they have to get rid of something that's ~~very~~ not perfect, hence the bitter core.

Everything Is The Same: There are many different types of Apples in this world, but in the Utopia there is only one type of apple, which represents sameness.

Growing Up: The Apple symbolizes growth because, the seeds in the middle of the apple will eventually grow and will grow into a new apple.

Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/256002631 In Jonas' Utopia, people are not allowed to point out the difference from someone and another, they believe (what I believe they believe) that pointing out a difference from one another can make one feel bad about themselves. When a child starts having something called "Stirrings" they must report it immediately and receive medicine to cure this "Stirrings", the "stirrings" seem to be like "Puberty" but it's called "Stirrings" in Jonas' Utopia.]]> 2018-04-27 13:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/256002631 Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/258517583 2018-05-07 13:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/258517583 Ch.10 How is the Receiver’s house different from otherhouses in the community? What are the reasons forthese differences? Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261201729 The receiver's house is different from other houses in the community by, all the different furniture. The receiver has fancy furniture around the room, and has books that tower up to the ceiling. These differences show how important the job of a receiver is, and how it's honored in the community.]]> 2018-05-16 13:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261201729 Ch.10 What is the actual process for transmitting memories? What is the first memory Jonas receives? Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261203446 The process of transmitting memories is very tiring and exhausting. The first memory Jonas ever received was, the memory of Snow. Even though he didn't know what it was, he still knew from what the former receiver (Now known as "THE GIVER") had said.]]> 2018-05-16 13:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261203446 Ch.10 On page 98, Jonas says, “I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.” Explain what thismeans. Is this a good way to live? Why? Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261205820 The quote explains that Jonas didn't know there was a past, he only knew there was the present and only the people in the community has been here the whole time. I don't believe it's a good way to live, because, if they're not prepared to know other things. They wouldn't be ready for other things in life, in the future.]]> 2018-05-16 13:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261205820 Ch.10 Why is Jonas surprised when The Giver turns thespeaker off and locks the door? What inferences canyou make about the privacy of normal citizens in thisworld? Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261207238 Jonas was surprised when The Giver turned the speaker off and locked the doors because, in every house in the community there was no locks on doors, there was also no way people in the community can turn off their speakers, and he didn't know that there was a way someone could turn of the speaker. "Normal" citizens' (there's nobody in this world that's actually normal) can always lock doors and turn things on and off. People in the world has their own privacy while in his community only, the receiver gets this privacy.]]> 2018-05-16 13:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261207238 Ch.11 Jonas receives THREE memories in Chapter 11. List everything in those THREE memories that he has never seen or experienced before because they no longer exist in the community. Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261209149 The 3 memories in Chapter 11 Jonas have received were, the Snow, The Sunshine, and the Sunburn.]]> 2018-05-16 13:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261209149 THE GIVER Analyze the title of this book. Articulate why this title is significant and/or symbolic to the book. Explain. Christina_Li https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261212922 It symbolizes the book because, the former receiver had given Jonas memories, which shows that he is a giver, someone who gives someone something. In the book, Jonas is the receiver and the former receiver is now the Giver.]]> 2018-05-16 13:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Christina_Li/ChristinaLiGiverTwitter/wish/261212922
