The Giver

Prompt: Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?

I think the title  of this story  fits the story.  One of the reasons I think this is because the community is giving all the things that are needed like their jobs and their children.  They say that they do all of this because it will keep the peace and keep balance in the community with them assigning everything to them.  Unlike our world where we get to pick almost everything that we do and work for.  One thing we can't choose though is the kind of kids we have.

Another reason the title fits the story is that The Giver is giving the good and bad memories to Jonas.  I think they have a "Receiver" to consult if things take a turn for the worst.  So they could keep history from repeating itself like war and hunger.  It also appears that Jonas is also a giver himself because he passed on a memorie to Gabriel.  I wonder if he can can give any person memories.

One more reason that the story fits the title is that Jonas Gives people a sort of relief to their problems.   An example of this is when Jonas helped his father and mother with taking care of their newchild.  When the baby was crying in his room, Jonas gave a memory to the crying baby and he stopped crying and went to sleep.  When he woke up the baby was crying again and Jonas gave him the rest of the memory.  When morning came his mother and father said that they felt better now that they got to have some sleep.  They decided that Gabe would sleep in Jonas's room from now on.

The Giver

Chapter 1-3
Prompt: Summarize

When I first started the story started in the month of late November.  It opened on Jonas remembering the time when instead of a cargo ship, and fighter jet came to his community to take care of unknown business.  He was instructed as well as the other kids were to drop their bikes where they were and to get inside a building.  After that was over the day continued on like any other one.  Jonas went home to his family for dinner that night.  When they were eating that night, they shared their feelings for that night as always.  

In the next chapter, Jonas found himself talking about the ceremony of the Ones.  This ceremony was held for the naming and welcoming into the community, wich was held as a giant party.  Also in this chapter, they first mentioned the Receiver who is the most important elder in the community.  They have not yet mentioned what the Receiver's purpose so that makes me even more curious.  At the end of the chapter three they talked a little more about Lily's volunteering.


In chapter four, Jonas went to volunteer for the first time we have seen him so far.  he was told to go to the bath house to start his work.  When he got inside, he saw his friend Asher, and a girl he knew, Fiona there.  He started at his work which was washing the people at the Recovery center. As he began washing a old woman, he started to remember what he saw last night which was his father washing his new little brother gently

 and applied the situation here.

When it first started Jack and his sister Annie  were sitting on their front porch.  When a particular white rabbit hopped past their house and into the woods.  The thing is, white animals going into the woods, mean that their magical tree house that can take them anywhere and any when is back in the woods.  They both sprinted towards the tallest oak tree which held their magical tree house.  When they climbed the rope ladder they saw a familiar face that created the tree house.  Their friend from the mythical Camelot, Morgan LeFey.  She had yet another mission for them to take on.

Their next mission would take place in India.  As their mission were usually dangerous, she gave them a research book that provided them facts and tips as they would need them.  Once they were ready to go, all they had to do was point to the book and wished to go to that place.  As soon they arrived they noticed that their clothes had changed to the native Indian clothes.  Their mission was to retrieve a rose made of rubies for the betterment of Camelot.  When they got there they started to head toward their target location, which happened to be a royal party at the Taj Mahal.

When they got there they went looking for the rose's holder, the king.  All the Ambassadors from many countries were there from all over the world.  When they found the king, he was speaking to many Ambassadors.  When  Jack and Annie started to approach him, a few men stopped them.  They asked why Annie was there because she was a girl.  When Jack explained that she and him were ALSO ambassadors and that they were here on the king's request, they let them pass.

House Of Hades

Prompt: Summarize
Pages: 440-583

During the first few pages that I read, the young heroes were in a spot of trouble.  As Percy and Annabeth approached the doors of death, a manifestation of Tartarus, which was the land they were walking on, appeared to stop Percy and Annabeth.  When he first appeared all the monsters nearby and the two heroes froze with shock and disbelief.  He destroyed everything in his path on his way to kill the two.  As he approached them, Bob, their Titan friend stepped forth and tried to distract Tartarus.  His spear appeared in his hand, and his little skeleton kitten pet grew into a saber tooth tiger pet.  They attacked endlessly while Percy and Annabeth made their way to the doors.  When they got there another friend of theirs came to the rescue and The titan held the door for percy and annabeth.

While Percy and Annabeth were passing through the doors of death, their friend on the top world were on their way to greet them at the doors of death.  They had to pass through The House Of Hades to get to the doors of death.  When  they entered, they were greeted by many enemies and had a long battle with them.  When they finished with them they had to go through a maze of tunnels to reach their friends at the doors of death.  When they got to the doors of death they were met by a sorceress that Hazel, one of the heroes, had to overcome to save their friends.

as Hazel and the sorceress battled, the godess of magic appeared to join the fight, as the sorceress they were fighting was her Nemesis.  When the sorceress started to make a maze, Hazel had to make illusions of even worse fates so the sorceress would let her guard down.   When she did, all of the heroes struck and defeated her.  When the battle was over their friends Percy and Annabeth stepped out and everybody was rejoined in the top

world.
