Summary: 

During the past days, i have been reading the book named "The Giver", from chapters 1-4. I would say that this book is very interesting and leaves us thinking a lot, because it has a a lot of mystery and scenes that makes you keep reading. The main characters would probably be Jonas the protagonist, his friends Asher, Fiona, Benjamin and Larissa , his parents and lastly his sister Lily. In the first chapters the narrator starts to talk about a small society that is controlled with specified and strict laws you are given to follow and if not you would probably get punished really bad so most of the people are kind, generous and respectful.In these community the rules are not that easy to follow, you are allowed to have only two children, one male, and one female, and your babies need to be given from someone else, they can't come from your own blood. People that live there are born with a controlled life, they decide who you should marry  and the worst part is that they choose your job, and I think that your work is one of the most important things you have to focus so you can have and live a good life. In these case Jonas gets to work like a Nurture, but he can't actually figure out why he got what he got and not something better or worst. After the days go by, Lily turns 9 years and do to the laws she gets a bicycle and classes that teach her how to ride it, they celebrate her and so on. A new child then comes to Jonase's fake family, his name is Gabriel and one of the characteristics that makes him special is his eye color, which is way more lighter then normal people have just like Jonas ones, so i think that people start to wonder if they are brothers. Besides all the laws, Jonas had some friends in his class Benjamin, the smart or clever guy and Fiona the peaceful and nice girl, they would always hang out by the day. In chapter 4 Jonas meets a blind woman named Larissa, and they would compete about interesting or people they knew about that told stories to them like, Roberto the impressive man or Edna the smart birthmother. In conclusion, that is practically what I have been reading, with a lot of details in these book. 

Text Response:

In these paragraph I'm going to talk about my text response to the book. In think that the author is trying to bring us some kind of suspense, action and a lot of emotion while we read this book, because at first it starts with a complicated situation, then it becomes more lighter but at the same time a little of more issues, so you start predicting, questioning things and connecting it to your life or to thing you have seen, read or heard. In some parts of the book I find them hard to understand, but in most of them are really clear and I make a lot of inferences in each page, so that way a get a better idea of what is going on. Going deeper into Jonas life, I think that at these point of the story he must be really nervous with the new step of his life his was given, like his job, the new baby and all kinds of things that he never saw in his previous childhood, but at the same time a little calmed, because he says he enjoys helping people and it makes him happy specially when he goes to were old people live. Reading the book I question my self a lot and one of the questions that came to my mind in chapter 4, page 29 What happens when a person is blind in their community, do they get lees or more privileges?, in page 32 Why don't they let children into the releasing room? and in chapter 3, page 22 Why do mothers never get to see their born children?. I thought that chapter 4 was a really mean full and sentimental chapter, because Jonas starts to realize that if you have a fair and helpful life, you have earned it all, and I made a connection in page 30 when he is making sure the old grandma is comfortable and has all she needs to the times I use to go to my grandmas house and I brought everything she needed with a lot of love. One thing that I noticed was that Jonas and Fiona are similar when you talk about values and all of that, because they are both generous, honest, respectful and above all they are good people. Lastly, one of the things that I got confused on was at the beginning when they start talking about some visitors, what was their main point and by the middle why do they suddenly start talking about Roberto and Edna. 

Final Thoughts and Comments:

To shorten up this paragraphs, I am really enjoying these book because it reminds me of some important things I saw while i was growing up, and it is really helping me with words I didn't understand or like with the fluency when reading out loud,and with the predictions I make, to understand why they are so important and lost of more things we talk in class before reading time begins.
