It makes you think My teacher read this book to us in English class for a unit. I really liked this book because it makes you think or imagine what could have happened to Jonas and Gabe. I know in my class when we finished the book, my teacher asked us what we thought happened at the end, so we all gave our ideas. Some kids said that he got a job or got married or died. Anything could have happened to them. Thats why I liked this book.
I like the book Iliked this book except the ending. It left everybody wondering about what would happen to jonas. He might die, but i'm not sure!!
Giver I think that The Giver was a great book. The only part i did not like was the ending. I think that she should have written out the end. For a 13 year old i wanted to know what happened and couldn't imagine what happened in my head. I ended up thinking that the music he heard was real. That they were waiting for Jonas and Gabe. If the music wasn't real then he wouldn't have been able to know what it was because the giver never tranmitted the memory to him. Other then the ending i can't wait to read the whole book again.
AMM 7.3 I like the book it is different, because of the way she uses the different world how they can't make different choices. I thought that she used new words to express the feelings about Jonas and The Giver. I also thought that she used the advantage of them not having choices, because it made them realised that "Elswhere" really exixted. I didn't like the ending it was making me hang of the edge of my seat. It made me think about the ending and how Jonas got to elsewhere. She needs more of the ending or the sequel to the book. I do agree about the way she described about not having a sequal though.
A little on the down side I have always wondered what this book was about, and I finally found the time to read it for a LA project. The author used a lot of imagination and was very creative when she formed the perfect world that Jonas lived in. This book has some good morals behind it, but I think it is rather dull and could use more suspense. I was very disappointed with the shortness of the book and the ending. Even though I do enjoy making up endings on my own, Lois Lowry has stopped the book right at the climax. I believe that she should have elaborated and given more information that would help bring the story to a wonderful ending. Over all this book is a great book to read for pleasure.
