The Giver Book Analysis

Decent Essays
At the moment, the book I am reading is The Giver. I have no idea if it is at my level, but it seems to be pretty simple to read, not many complicated words. What I do well is keeping track on what happens in the book, inferencing and predicting, making connections, getting my points, and especially asking questions and wondering. When it comes to what I struggle with, I really don’t read often when I should. Also, I tend to wander off in the middle of book, which makes me go back and reread the section I paid no attention to. I also never make notes on post-it notes, or write down my thoughts. Usually, I just read, keeping my thoughts in my mind. Lastly, my vocabulary isn’t very well due to not using context clues that much. I don’t have

    I can read a whole page and by the time I am done, I barely know what’s going on. I usually have to go back into the text multiple times and reread just so I could understand. Doing that usually takes a lot of time, that’s why it usually takes me a long time to finish one book. While I am reading something that I’m good at doing is making connections to other texts, personal experiences, and the world.…

    How would you like to live in a community where there is no colors, sameness, and not much freedom? You probably would not like it. Well, I do not like the community in The Giver because they do not have much freedom, they cannot get things until they are a certain age at the ceremonies. The people in the community get released if they are not good enough, if there are twins that are born the bigger one is kept and the smaller one is released, and if they break to many rules they get released.…

The characters in this book live in a futuristic community that has eliminated everything causing pain. For example, there are strict rules governing rudeness, so the community does not allow community members to ask any question that will make anyone feel different.…

    My favorite novel I’ve read before, that I very much enjoyed would have to be the book The Giver. The book is about a society where emotions are denied. Everyone in the story must follow rules given by a higher authority and cannot disobey or else they will be faced with a harsh consequence. The main character Jonah on the other hand is given a chance to become someone far greater than anyone else and is able to experience feelings and types of physical traits he was never able to feel before. The giver is such a mind opening story that will be able to change your perspective on life and how you should feel lucky to have the pleasure of being able to feel whatever type of emotion you want and see the world through color.…

    My teacher has guided me in reading books by interesting in-class reading resources such as How Reading Changed My Life by Anna Quindlen, and Saved by Malcolm X. I love Anna ’s quote “All of reading is really only finding the ways to name ourselves, and, perhaps, to name the others around us so that they will no longer seem like strangers.” Additionally, Saved by Malcom X gives me inspiration through his homemade education in prison.…
