Listen to Bright Words

The short story, “All Summer in a Day" is about a planet, Venus, which has been raining for 7 years without stopping any minute. Margot is a girl that born in the Earth and she believe that the sun will come out the day the scientist say it will. In the other side, in his class all the kids bother her because they think that the sun will not come out and it will continue raining. Then on, the kids continue telling Margot “You’re lying, you don’t remember!" cried the children. She also makes a poem about the sun and they told her that she didn't make it. They continue and continue... until William, one of the boys, decides to put Margot inside a closet. Minutes later the rain stops and the warm of the sun started to being felt. The teacher told the kids to go outside to play so they went and have fun on the grass, trees and in the outside world. One hour past, and the rain starts to fall again. William realizes that Margot was inside the closet and that she wasn't able to see the sun that she was waiting for all this time. Finally Margot was sad and feel bad about his ''friends''. They all say sorry to Margot but that wasn't enough because she was upset. 

 Feeling the sun on their cheeks like a warm iron.

 In this quote we can see how Ray Bradbury in a short sentence he can make you feel how the sun heat felt in the kid’s skin. In this part of the story the kids are going outside to play after 7 years of raining day and night. He’s making the reader use his touch sense by using the word feeling and also comparing it to something like warm iron.

  She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost.

Margot... a girl from another planet that is being bullied by his classmates. In this quote we can realize that Margot is a girl that is different from others and when she talks no one really listen to her because she is weird to others. Ray Bradbury is characterizing the protagonist so descriptively that then on in the story we will know how this character is and how is he going to act. Also when the author uses characterization well you will learn more things from the story such as how that person is or how he changes during the story.

I like how Ray Bradbury use imagery in his book because it describes it perfectly to let the reader be able to have an image or feel what is being descript inside his head. also I like how he make the reader know what is the personality of each character by making each one say and do things that make them unique by using characterization.

In this amazing short story we can see that the message is that we should be careful of how we treat the environment because in the future we can have problems such as rain every day or changes of climate like is happening right now already. 

Adding to this the theme inside this story is that people should appreciate others and listen their ideas, because they will always be useful for something. Just because someone is different they aren’t able to be discriminated and don’t being even seen. We can realize of this theme because of the imagery and personification that the author shows during the story. 

Lost and Love

Jonas is surprised how his friends don’t know the truth of pain and war, so they see it as a game. When Jonas sees his friends playing to war he remember of the war memory. War? What is war? No fights, all same agrees, everything the same without having the ability to fight for something they want. While they were playing… ‘’Jonas looked at her. She was so lovely’’

Jonas is in love with Fiona but the problem is that she would never return his love back to Jonas. Next day Jonas turn back to the Anex, he start having curiosity about what is RELEASE and the giver like always try to explain it on the better form. The Giver told him that GIVER can never be released because they have all the saved memories that need to be past to the Receiver.’’ Rosemary was the last receiver before you.’’ The Giver told this to Jonas. Rosemary was a girl that love what the memories that the Giver transmit her 
because he wasn’t able to transmit any painful memory… until she ask him to do it. In that moment, after seeing this memory, she went to the elders to be released. A disaster occurred in that moment because all the memories that were already transmitted to her where spread on the society, because memories are forever. Jonas realized all this but he still didn’t know what is REALESE and where they go. He saw a video of how his fader in that morning has released a baby and he want to never go back home because the truth of release is to KILL. They two start thinking about changing the society and they start a plan. Finally they will change the society to make it better and always do the right in life. 

 FUNERAL DE CHAVO-  Death of Chavo

In this video we can see how in real life people are sad if someone is lost or die. They make a whole ceremony with familiars and flowers and MEMORIES about this person life. Instead, in this book people in Jonas community didn’t matter about release, they even don’t know what happened. I think that people should feel sorry and sad when someone dies because is a lost of a loved person that you had lived a long time with him.

‘’He kill it! My father killed it!’’ Jonas say.

Jonas is disappointed in how his father is able to do that. His work is to kill people and he doesn’t realize how that is so harmful in real life with feelings and love with someone. In real life like you can see on the video, people are aware of death because the loss of someone loved create  sadness for the rest of your life. I completely disagree with Jonas community because they ‘’release’’ people every time like something normal without knowing the truth pain that death mean to us.

Built our Lives

No choices. People aren’t able to build their lives based on what they want. No differences, no races, no colors... everything the same. Jonas wants to change this in his community, because he already knows what is to be different, he knows about color, and different kind of personalities. The next feelings that Jonas had felt was PAIN, was sunburn. Then on he really felt what real pain is, he felt WAR. Jonas is shocked about it; he couldn’t believe that people are able to do that. The difference is that in his community, there are not choices so people are not able to choose what they want so conflicts are not created. Lot of new memories had been told to Jonas, and he is happy to have them and learn from them, but the problem is that he is not able to apply it in his community I realize that Gabriel has the ability to see beyond because when Jonas tells his memories to his littles brother, Gabriel is able to see them.

''If everything’s the same, then there aren’t any choices! I want to wake up in the morning and decide things! A blue tunic, or a red one?''

Jonas wants to be able to choose, to build his life: How their future would be? What will happen next? In Jonas community they already can predict their lives and they aren’t able to choose what they like and have a different personality than his society. In life people need identity, need choices and need to be different of others to be a REAL person. What people should have in life is INDIVIDUALITY, to be able to choose what they want to create a life by their own and not by the elders. I can connect this with my life because my parents give education to me but they don’t create my life. From what I learn from them is from where I make my decisions based on positive and negative things. 


 VIDEO ABOUT IDENTITY- BY SAVVANAH

In this video we can see the importances of being yourself and do what you want, not matter what others think about you and be yourself in every moment in your life. In Jonas society no one is like her, no one knows the REAL them. 

The New Reciever

Jonas controlled and ´´perfect´´ world has already choos the new reciever of memories at the ceremonie of twelve. The new reciever will start his new training. He meet the Giver and had his first training, that was to experience snow and cold, he slid in a sled. For the first time he feel free and plesure abot what he was doing. her e jonas realize what his assignments will be and how he will be trained, but he hadnt feel extreme physical pain, just sun burn. nos jonas feel diferent and is starting to open his mind to a new world diferent from his society. jonas for the first time realized the diference beyween pain and pleasure. Jonas will be able to feel and be the brave anof to that extreme pain? How he will react to that?
 Changes in his view...
An other thing that start changing in jonas and he reacts by telling to the Giver is that he start seing more colors, like in Fiona´s red hair.

 Mememories
Its incredible how can he learn the importance if memories in our life, and how we learn of things that happened in our past. i think that the giver will teach all the readers of this book how memories are impostant for us and how pain affect us and also what is pleasure in life and the importance of it.

THE RULES OF JONAS( RECIEVER OF MEMORIES)
He had never, within his memory, been tempted to lie. (70)
   When I read the last rule I was shocked just like jonas was. YOU MAY LIE,like you see on the quote above Jonas reacted really bad to this because is something that he had learn since we was little and it would not be something good to change. I also think that because is not easy for me to just start saying lot of lies just because im allowed to. I was really shocked with this and I dont know how jonas will act by that rule. Is he going to lie? Our he will be honest of what he did and think?

Changes will Come Some Day

The second part of the story I read that Jonas experience new things, he feel stirrings for Fiona the first time in his dreams and tell his parents how this fell and that he like this wired and different feelings. His parents tell him it was something normal that happen to everyone when they are teenagers. After this, the ceremony of naming start, in this ceremonies they put names and a house to new children. then the next ceremonies continue, the ceremonies of twos, threes, four..... to 7 and in ceremonie of eight, Lily that is Jonas sister receive the bicycle. ceremonies continues until it gets to twelve and the committee start saying the numbers of each person.The new receiver is Jonas and he will be the one who recieve memories from the past and save them for the future.

I think that his assignment will be incredible but difficult because he will be the owner and the one that knows all the memories. 

The Giver Fist View

After interviewing the book i came to a conclusion that this book will be about  world were a kid named Jonas live, this society is all controlled. He will be able to realize of things out of it and be different in his society. in the dedication page we can see how the author is telling to new generations like us that we are responsible for the future and it consequences. Our generations need to start taking more care bout or world and wars because in any moment it can change and start being a kind of dystopia where we will not be happy. Also that the old generations have trust in us and our next generations because we should be responsible and helpful. 

I think that in this book Jonas will enter to anew world and realize of things that are different from his society. 

Dystopia

1-
In this week I read that Jonas dystopia is a world that everything is controlled and have laws. Here you can see that this book have lot of dystopia because everything I trying to be controlled and perfect but people are not living as normal and happy persons. In this society we can see how people are not free to choose what to do in their lives and what their goal will be by improving their acts and thoughts. So here we can see that it isn't a perfect society because freedom is not applied.

´´I felt strange. Because their methods were different. they were learning usages that mt group hadn't learned  yet, so we felt stupid´´ Lily said. In this quote we can see how the author is showing the reader that this world is different and they don't know about the outside world the surround them. These impacted me because she in one sentence can show the reader how the people in that community are. She is using a strategies that impacts me because she describe thing in a sentence and from that sentence you learn lot of things and morals.

I think that this book will change a lot because Jonas will start realizing of things that happens, that people in his society is not able to see because they are controlled by perfection and equality. Jonas will teach the readers that you need to follow in what you think is right to discover new things and find your goal that you fight nd improve everything for it because you choose it and wanted, not like in his society that the are nor free to choose.
