hello all/ whoever reads this.
I read the whole book this giver this weekend. I also read Ok! magazine, People magazine, and the AMAZING Lindsborg Paper.
I re-read the whole book, the giver, this week and it was a lot different than I remember. I did not like how it went from him recieving the messages, to all of a sudden running away. I think he should have stayed in the town and try to help everyone and fix things.
I also think that the book does a good job of explaining what makes our society important: love, grandparents, color, fun, feelings, emotions, etc.
Although I really liked the book, I think it was also a little jumpy.
The magazines were stolen out of my mother dearest suitcases :) I was bored in the four hour (total) car ride this weekend to lovely pete's puddle for a wedding!
I stayed at my grandparents house, and they always, ALWAYS save all of the Lindsborg papers. I think they think I really do care about Lindsborg. Not that I don't, but, seriously, there is NOTHING important most of the time. I learned that pollen is bad this year. Watch your backs! :)
All in all, I love to read, love spending time reading, but it is hard for me to make time in these last few SUPPPPPER busy weeks.
Anyway, all for now. Toodles. :)
You so make me laugh! You are a natural reader, which, like me, makes blogging difficult because you read anything that's in front of you. Worthless magazines, boring newspapers, whatever is near the bathroom :). . . I am glad you realize the value in it and trust you will share this passion with your future students. They will enjoy reading a blog like this and will be more apt to keep one themselves. Fun!!
