The Bay

The Bay

The bay stands still
Salmon darting beneath the bays surface, so brittle
The bay is like glass, not a single ripple
The bay is anything but basic
But simply amazing

Favorite Word: Would probably have to be win. After thinking about it, I don't use this word as much as I do others but saying I Win or Won is a good feeling. I've always been a competitive person to my roots so it definitely suits me.

 

 

I've never really had a big interest in reading a lot of literature while growing up, I did a fair share of reading but the works of Jack London have always just been very entertaining. The wilderness themed stories were awesome in itself but his way of writing, way of elaborating on the surroundings kept an image in my head all the time. The First Jack London piece I read was White Fang, than from there I started to read more of his short stories.

 

Th Giver 5 Looks

The Giver- 5 Looks

Censorship.Truth.Pain.Perfect.Knowledge.

I chose these 5 words because although they are different they all revolve around the concept that the truth hurts.

I chose censorship because as its obvious the whole community in which Jonah lives at is unaware of the "real world" because they are censored  from that information.

Truth is probably one of the most important words for this novel, the giver explains to Jonah what happened when memories were revealed or the "truth" people went insane so its right to say that the truth hurts.

Pain is a word that is used a lot in the books especially from the Giver, Pain is something that the community does not experience much of because the truth is hidden.

Perfect also comes to my mind in this society since that's what they strive for by keeping censorship but well see how that plays out.

Knowledge the Giver being the most knowledgeable also makes him the most powerful. What ive seen through this book that knowledge is power, it can be used either way right or wrong.
