Alternate Ending for The Giver

        Jonas ran as fast as he could to the nuturing center. He had to rescue Gabriel from Jonas' Father. He was almost out of breath when he saw the building. Jonas used the rest of his energy sprinting for the door of the nuturing center. He entered and bumped into a security guard. Pushing the guard away, he ran for his father. He bashed through the door and saw his father.
        "Wait!" yelled Jonas.
        "Jonas, what are you doing here?" said Jonas' father.
        "Don't kill Gabriel!" screamed Jonas. He grabbed Gabriel and ran to the Giver's house. The Giver said that Jonas could stay for a while.

Book Rating/Review - Out of the Dust

The book, Out of the Dust is an okay book, but with some interesting features. The book is written in a Dairy form and is easy to skim through. The theme of the book is that you should never give up at what you love. The main character, Billy Joe, loves to play the piano, however, she burned her hands and accidentally killed her mother. She still triend to play the piano even though her hands were burned. I would rate the book a 5.5 out of 10.

Gossamer

Gossamer is a fantasy book about tiny creatures who give humans dreams. They are called Gossamers. They live in different houses and work there. The Sinisteeds are those who give bad dreams or nightmares. They stalk humans who are weak and sensitive. Littlest One is still learning the basics. Her teacher leaves to go to a new house. Thin Elder then takes the job to teach Littlest One. John, a boy who has experienced a lot of pain is adopted for a short while by the woman who owns the house. The Sinisteeds attack John in his sleep. It is up to Littlest One and Thin Elder to stop them.

The Giver - Theme

The Theme of The Giver is that everything should not be perfect. Evergthing becoming perfect can take away the true pain and pleasure of life. You would not be able to do what you want and everything you do would be assigned. Learning the truth was hard and interesting to Jonas. He realized everything was wrong. Another theme is that pain and happiness is better than nothing. Having pain is better than none at all. Happiness is more important than everything being under control and assigned.

The Giver - Author's Craft

The Giver is set in the narration style of third person. The tone is serious and goofy at the same time. The book uses lots of hyperboles. For example, Jonas says,"and back and back and back." Imagery is one of the main crafts that the author uses. The book seems very slow because the author describes every little thing that happens.

The Giver - Protagonist

Jonas is the protagonist of the book, The Giver. He is a twelve year old boy who has never experienced fear or pain. He becomes the Receiver of Memories, an assigned role given to him by the Community. His world was perfect before the Ceremony of Twelve. This was when he became the Receiver. He grows to learn the everything is not perfect. Even though it seems that way, if you look closely, there is not pain but no true pleasure of life. Jonas is very brave, or at least tries to be. For example, The Giver experieced pain from a memory, so Jonas stepped up and took it from him. Jonas finds himself to discover the true pain and pleasure of life.

The Giver - Conflict

One Conflict in the book is that Jonas is learning the truth. The training of the Receiver of Memories involves physical and even mental pain. He learns the secrets of the world and the memories of people. This drives him to do something near the end that I am not going to give away. This is the biggest conflict of the book. Another conflict in the book is that the Giver holds on to a lot of painful memories that he has to give to Jonas. At one point in the book, Jonas walks in to see the Giver for his training. The Giver is in pain from a memory and Jonas takes it from him. The memory is war, something Jonas has never experienced before.

The Giver

Written by Lois Lowry, The Giver is one of the best books I've ever read. The book was copyrighted in 1993. In the book, the main character, Jonas, lives in a Utopia where there is no fear and pain. He is assigned the role of the Receiver of Memories. The Giver shows him the true pain and happiness of life.
