The Giver: Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Sameness in Jonas's community.

There are many advantages of Sameness. The most important, is that people don’t fight between them and there is no war. Also, everything is fair, there are no poor and hungry people, and there are no rich, and full people. Everybody is equal. Also there are no slaves and people working under terrible conditions. Even though, kids might fall and scratch their knees, there is no serious physical, or emotional pain. The climate control is good for the farmers, because their crops don’t get destroyed. And the last advantage of Sameness is that there are no cars and pollution. So these people live in a healthy and quiet environment, and they exercise often by riding their bikes. Even though it looks weird there are not so many disadvantages of Sameness. First of all people don’t have a choice, they don’t have their own opinions, and everything is chosen by others for them. Everything is the same; they don’t have colors and music. They don’t choose their jobs, their husbands and wives, their food, their clothes, their names, and their houses. People don’t have their own birth day, and they celebrate their birthdays together on the same day. It’s like no one is an independent person and grown-up. The most important disadvantage that will shock you, is that people don’t have emotions, love, sadness, angriness, happiness, joy, and feelings in general. Can you imagine life without feelings? The people in that community don’t even know what these emotions and feelings are. Also the fact that they have a bike is tricky. They don’t have cars, airplanes, trains, metros, motorcycles, and any other vehicles, that can transport them to other places. And with the bikes you can’t go very far, because you get easily tired.  

Describing a little bit more my “haunted” movie

The clothes of the actors and actresses that will play in the movie will be casual. Maybe jeans and simple t-shirts, because the will suppose to discover this old mansion and find interesting things in there, so they will be young women and men searching this old, house and maybe finding things that might change the world. Also the music will be classic and a piano with a violet will be playing. It will sound delicate and scary. It will make the audience being more scared and the music will get louder and “heavier” when a scene with something mysterious or when something bad will happen, it will scare the audiences even more. I would suggest that the mansion will be full of rats, and traps for unexpected visitors, and little holes with nasty mice inside. Also I will suggest that those young “visitors” will be in a major danger, ‘cause who ever tried to search in that creepy mansion never came back…! The night that they will visit will be cloudy, with a very bright moon and with a deep blue-black color on the night sky.

Directing a horror movie!

If I was the director of a horror movie I would set the movie in a big haunted house in a quiet neighborhood were there will be only big old houses, and big, black forests. There would be no lights in the streets and the neighbor would be so quiet that the only thing that you will be able to hear is the wind passing through the black trees. There will always be a full moon and clouds over the sky. The windows of the house will be covered with black sheets and there will be broken mirrors around the house. The house will have spiders and weird insects everywhere and there will be ghosts flying around the rooms. No one will be living there and the style of the house will be old and creepy. There will be a huge frond door and in each room there will be a white tidy bed with white sheets and a black pillow. the hall will be as it was years before when people used to live there, there will be tea caps on the coffee tables and the sweets that they used to eat on the evenings will still be there but in a really bad condition. The kitchen will be as it was before; there will be food in the casseroles will have food inside and the table will be ready with black plates and white napkins. The house will pretend to be like it was in the past, when people used to live there. The story of the house will be that one evening the couple that lived there disappeared one evening that was raining a lot and after that evening no one saw them again; so the house stayed as it was ages ago.

RESPOND TO A PREDICTION: In 2155, computers will replace human teachers.

I definitely disagree that in 2155, computers will replace human teachers. There is a magic in teaching and the teacher does the lesson and gives it interest, if there are no teachers I believe that there will be no schools of course and that there would not be such thing as teaching. I think that maybe people will not have to learn, they will have computers filling their brains with knowledge. Also it’s not that handy to have computers instead of real human teachers, you won’t be able to ask questions or discuss with them about books, or homework. Teachers have a way in teaching and make you love or hate a subject. Computers I think they don’t have that technique. In addition to that, it has a huge affect on you health; when you are for a long period of time in front of the computer screen your eyes get tired and you might even have future problems.

SURFF: Your Favorite Character

The book that I am reading it’s called “They Wear What under Their Kilts?” . The author of my book is Katie Maxwell. My favorite character is the main character in my book, she is the protagonist of the story. Her name is Emily, she is almost 16 years old and she is a very exciting person. She loves her friends and she can do everything for them. Emily is my favorite character because she is lazy and lively. When she really wants something she never puts it down until she reaches her goal. Her goal in the book is to snog an eleven-fingered Scottish hottie, Ruaraidh. Ruaraidh is an eighteen year old guy, which for Holly (Emily’s friend) and Emily he is very cool and they totally fancy him. The problem is that they both like him, and they are best friends, so they put a competition, who ever gets to snog him first wins. Emily, my favorite character, is a very girly girl and she is very beautiful, she knows it and she also thinks that she is the best for Ruaraidh. The way that she behaves reminds me of another character Madeline, from “Princesses Don’t Sweat”. Madeline is also girly, and she loves make up and she has to ALWAYS look fabulous, just like Emily. Also Madeline love her friends and she is always ready to give them everything, like Emily! Emily is a great character and I enjoy reading her funny stories!!
