So far, I love it. At first I thought it was going to be very boring, but now I regret saying that. It makes me want to read forever. I don't want to read ahead because that ruins everything. Now that we know who The Giver is, it makes everything clearer. I get why he is called the Giver now. He gives the receivers his old memories, and the receiver receives them. Now I totally get the whole naming concept. I would love to keep on reading forever and ever. I want to read Son after this book because it is supposed to be the sequel for The Giver. I'm so excited to finish this book!
I chose this prompt because I wondered so much after reading chapter 12. First off, how did The Giver give Jonas the memory? I was really interested in this because if I tried giving all of my memories away like that, I don't think that it would work. Second, why did Jonas specifically get chosen to be the receiver? I know that being a receiver is a hard and confusing job, but how did he qualify for it? He was just a regular boy in a community, and he got chosen. Personally I wouldn't like to be a receiver because you would have to carry all of the good and bad memories of other people in your head. Third question, how does this all work? The whole thing, I am very confused about some parts of the book. What are the Stirrings? So many questions are in my mind right now, I want them to be answered!
I recommend this book to middle schoolers. I know that sounds weird, but I still get confused about what is happening sometimes. This book jumps from place to place and from problem to problem. Sometimes I like books like that, but if they aren't fun to read because they are confusing, not that much fun. This book is confusing, but I really like it. It's interesting, I can relate to some parts, and it has some cliff hangers that make me want to read more. I love this book, and I am excited to continue it!

I agree with you because at first I also thought that this book was going to be boring. I found out that the Giver has three other sequels. The sequel after the Giver is a book called Gathering Blue.The third book in the series is Messenger and the last book in the series is Son. I like how you shared your opinions about this book and nice job using explicit details. Nice Job
ReplyDeleteI thought that the book would be boring too, but it did turn out it be an awesome book. I think that being a receiver has to do with the color of your eyes. If you have the color maybe you can able to give memories away. I loved your post this week! It was very detailed. I also loved how you expressed you thoughts within the post.
