My thoughts before I started reading

When I heard we were going to read a book, I was really glad, especially when I knew it was an utopian novel. I read a lot and above all, I like novels set in the future or all kinds of fantasy/adventure.  :)


I’ve only read one book in english on my own before, a short novel, and a few stories on wattpad. These were all pretty easy to read, written without complicate formulations or difficult words. So I didn’t know if it was going to be hard for me to understand. 


Even if 'The Giver' is a quit famous book, I neither knew the novel nor the movie (which was in the theaters one and a half year ago).

By the title you can not quess anything about the story, but the blurb introduces you to Jonas, who 'seems to live in a perfect world' and hints the topics of 'The Giver' : dark secrets and memories.

I did not expect much action, but more of a story of a boy who is questioning the world he lives in.

Welcome, 10c. 


For information on how to keep your weblog, please read the sheet ´How to write a reading journal.´

Additionally in this weblog you can embed videoclips or post pictures.
Of course any post on the film ´Hüter der Erinnerung´ is welcome too.

Only invited members can participate in this blog.

Every participant has to post at least two posts per week until the blog is closed and two comments on classmates´ posts. A good idea to start a discussion are controversial statements (e.g. I hate this novel because...) or questions. This makes it easy to write comments on a post. 

In this blog there is no right or wrong, only good ideas or not so good ideas and, I hope, some fun.
