thINK 3rd nine weeks 1 "The Giver"
In the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowery, there is a 12 year old boy named Jonas who leaves the a totalitarian community. A totalitarian community is where all your decisons are made for you. The community leaders gets to pick what you are to be when you grow to the right age. Although you can appeal to the job given to you but most are cafefully selective for you. Aslo you have to follow the community rules or you will get in trouble. Once you get in trouble two or three times you are to be released, to be released is to be killed. Now I'm not going to give you anyore information about the book, so you're going to have to read it. If I were to live my life like them in their situation, I would have no problem honestly. They don't know anything else about the outside world and their life is safe. Now if my life was free and independent, and my life suddenly change to a world like theirs I would be pretty upset. Although if I was born with my life like that, i'm sure i'll be use to get and enjoy life just like how I do now. How would you feel if your life was like Jonas?
