This was a great book. A lot like the book Anthem. The ending was the only thing I was not sure about. It kind of left you to infer what happens.
ReplyDeleteHow would you compare the books "Anthem" and "The giver". How are they different? I am assuming that the society is very similar, but what else is similar, what else is different?
ReplyDeleteThis book is better than all the other books I read. The author Lois Lowry questions how people live and do in the real world.
ReplyDeleteI remember when we read that book in class. We had an assignment to come up with an ending. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteWho suggested this book to you I know that we read this as a school? Were you surprised to find out what they do to the people that they "release"? What did you think of the ending?
ReplyDeleteI've never read this book. Whats it like?
ReplyDeleteI would compare the societies by the way the government is in charge of everything and the people completely trust them. In this book the government is a little more relaxed in a way because you can think, make some decisions, and interact with each other. Then both of the main character's in the books start to question the system.

For the ending there are like three possible endings I thought of. Either he died,it was a dream, or he actually made it.
I was a bit surprised about how they went about release especially for the little ones. I did not really like the ending compared to the rest of the book. It kind of dragged on and then just suddenly ended. I am curious what happened to everyone else after he left. What did you guys think of the ending? Do you know if this author has written any other books?
ReplyDeleteWhat is your opinion of the ending is it good/bad what do you think happened to them after they arrived down at the bottom of the hill?
