THE GIVER
I began reading the giver, it is a very complex book with a lot of meaning under the words. It is one of those settings that give you the feeling that this little boxed in town is actually something more then just a perfect society. That behind the perfection and robot like citizens there is problems and issues so even though it looks as if it is perfection, it is not. I think Jonas is a special boy and does not share the same feeling as others, as if he is different from everyone, the way his mind works and he thinks. Even though i am only a few chapters in, the main idea the author is trying to make is that perfection is only a thought with in your mind it can never actually happen because the way your brain works your always going to do something that looks imperfect. Something i don't understand is why they call the birthdays ceremony's, and why do they have to be in the same classes all of there childhood that must almost make them nuts having to be with the same people every single day for 18 years of your life.

This is a little short, Nat. And instead of asking questions, I'd like to see you formulating ideas and theories. Also, the assignment this week was to answer one of the social action critical thinking questions we've covered this week.
