The Giver

I read the Giver for the fourth time. I really like the book. It's about a boy who lives in a Utopia, a perfect society, and everything is fine. When he becomes a Twelve he get's his assignment. When the Chief Elder skips him when she is assigning the jobs, Jonas, the boy, get's worried. Afterward the Chief Elder calls him to the stage to say that he was not assigned, but he was selected. He was to be the next Receiver of Memories. This is a job of high standing, it is THE most important job. Jonas receives the memories and he and the current Receiver realize that things must change. They make a plot on how to change the Community. I can't tell anymore without giving away the book. This is the first book in the trilogy. I will be reading the next two also.
This book made me realize how grateful for differences I am. It made me want to give thanks to everything and everyone that makes this world the way it is. I can't really share my feelings about this book. I am also thankful that I have the ability to have feelings and to be able to feel. You might not know what I'm talking about if you haven't read the book.
I like this book, that is pretty obvious since I have read it four times. I would most definitely recommend this book to you. It will strengthen your gratefulness of the world and all the different people in this world. Even if you are just looking for a good past time book, I would still suggest reading this book. I had to read it for my English class, and at first I didn't like it. I didn't want to read it, but after I got to like chapter six or seven I couldn't put it down and I finished it that night. It is a really good book. Read it. I promise you will like it. The Giver by Lois Lowry.

To My Followers

To all my loyal followers, I have been slacking off and not been reading. I'm sorry. I recently just read a book and I will blog about that. Thank You, and again I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
