Dear, Ms.Zrihen

I am reading “the giver” by Lois Lowry. The genre is fantasy. The characters are Jonas, the giver, his mom, his dad, Asher, and his sister. The author’s purpose is to entertain. The point of view is third person. The conflict is characters vs. society.  Jonas is getting ready to be 12 and 12 the head of the community assigns jobs to everybody that is going to be a 12. So the leader called everybody except for Jonas and so Jonas was last because he was chosen to become the next receiver of memory because he was a good student in school and didn’t know what he wanted to become. Tomorrow comes and it’s their first day of training so he goes after school to go work with the old receiver of memory.

When he goes to the building he hesitates to say his name. Once he walks in he says hello to the person at the desk. So the women at the pressed the button on the desk so that It opens a door to find a bed, table, and furniture. There were a lot of books everywhere in his office. The  receiver of memory tells Jonas stories of when he was about Jonas age. Then he uses a metaphor describing snow. Jonas asked a question which was what snow is because he doesn’t know what snow is. The man tells him to get on the bed and put your face on the top of the bed. Then Jonas asks what are you doing and he says explain what snow is. The rating I would give the book is 5 out of 5.

Sincerely,
