Pages Read: 35


            The book I am currently reading is The Giver so fair it has been a good book. It has a very strange setting and concept. Its about a child named Jonas he lives in a utopia society and the rules are very different from are society. Examples of this are that they are not allowed to have there own children and there children are given to them by the government.

            So far jonas has descried to us how the society works and runs and told us all of their rules. He also has told us about his familie and there rituals that they have to take on an every day bases. Jonas has also told us that the government controlled most of their rights and lots of there freedoms that we would have in are modern life.

            Another really important thing that jonas talkes about is the annual cerimonies that substitut for are birthdays. He tells us that everyone is the same age and at the age of 12 that are considered adults and thats when they start their first and only jobs they will have. Also he told us what school were like and what they did for school. The last thing he has told us is that how the government gave them there jobs and if you are released you are a fool and you are let go out of the society.
