Chapter 1-4 blog

Again & again!



    While reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. There has been many Again & again moments throughout the book so far. One of these moments is when Jonas the main character, was talking with his family. The conversation was about the important ‘ceremony’. According to the book, “Jonas shivered…. The ceremony of Twelve was the last of the ceremonies. The most important.” (Chapter Two, Page 14) This is an important Again & again moment, because it could foreshadow a conflict in the future. Which might get him an assignment he might not like.


    Another signpost I want to mention is Contrasts and contradictions. So when Jonas and Lily, Jonas’s younger sister, were talking about when he had a memory. According to the book, “...Voice  that all the speakers seemed to develop, saying things like ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT HAIR RIBBONS ARE TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES.” (Chapter three, Page 23). This means that there are speakers spread out in the community. And it's different from our modern day society.

Welcome to my blog

About me

My name is Erik. I like to work hard in school and at my summer jobs. I currently go to Heritage Middle school. Some of my interests are walking around and going outdoors. 

   I worked in many places during the summer and gained a lot of experience. For example, last year I work as a mechanic and work at construction. I had fun time and gained lots of experience. Then last summer I worked at Super Fresh produce. It was the job I had the most fun. I got to learn how to use a fork lift! And traveled to near by states. And the best part, I got a lot of money.

    Well that's a little bit of me. I hope you will enjoy my future blogs.
