The following book is called Gathering Blue. The Giver is about a 12-year-old boy named Jonas who lives in a dystopian community. The Giver is also very similar to the book Messenger and Son, which are both also written by Louis Lowry.]]> 2022-03-01 05:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2070828447 anne_chen1 https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072206697 Jonas lives in a seemingly simple and easy dystopian world of comfort and organization.

He realized that life has a greater meaning and that everyone shouldn't just all be the same. Due to this, he starts to form a plan with The Giver. The plan was that Jonas would fake his own death and escape the Community so that everyone would be able to feel real emotions and memories. However, this is also what led to Jonas's death. This is a Man vs Society external conflict.]]> 2022-03-01 21:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072365364 anne_chen1 https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072448331 “The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.” This is important because even though holding the memories is an extremely difficult task, what's harder is having to lie to people and keep everything a secret. This is why Jonas escaped; so that everyone could experience true emotions and memories.]]> 2022-03-01 23:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072448331 anne_chen1 https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072461793 “We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.”  I think this means when you try and fix some things you might get the outcome that you want. However, you won't be able to fix and turn everything around.]]> 2022-03-01 23:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072461793 anne_chen1 https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072475568 “If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.”  This is saying that no matter what, the memories that you make will never get lost or be forgotten. No matter what happens to you.]]> 2022-03-02 00:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072475568 anne_chen1 https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072745290 "He saw nothing ahead except the endless ribbon of road unfolding in twisting narrow curves." This is a Metaphor because it's comparing the never-ending road and a strand of ribbon. In this scene, Jonas was walking to Elsewhere, but he doesn't make it. My second figurative language is "He could hear the crack of the bone." This is an onomatopoeia because cracking a bone is a sound. In this scene, The Giver gives Jonas a memory of sledding down a hill, but he crashes and breaks his leg instead. My last one is "Jonas thought Larissa had drifted into sleep". This is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration since you cant actually drift to sleep. In this scene, Jonas was doing volunteer hours at The House of the Old and helping an elderly named Larissa.]]> 2022-03-02 03:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_chen1/cz1ilhqhfhtpozdd/wish/2072745290
