Title; The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry
Number of pages: 179
This week I managed to read the whole book called "The Giver". The book is a great fantasy novel that is very unusual. The book talks about a boy named Jonas, his community that is much different than any others, and about Jonas becoming a Twelve. He lives in a community where there is no color and where everything is the same. Unlike other kids Jonas is very special and has a gift that not many have. In the ceremony of Twelve Jonas receives a job that will change his life forever. This book is fabulously written and has some great words that you cannot find everywhere. I couldn't decide between the two words; fugitives and meticulously. The meaning of meticulous (meticulously) is extremely careful and precise and also extremely concerned with details. The sentence I found this word in is: "But that evening everything changed. All of it-all the things they had thought through so meticulously- fell apart" (Lowry 163) The other word that to me sounded very interesting is fugitives. The meaning of fugitive (fugitives) is running away or fleeing away as from the law. The sentence is: "Together the fugitives slept though the first dangerous day" (Lowry 168) I really enjoyed reading this book because of all the interesting vocabulary it contains.
