1) What are you good? I am good at dawing and sports. 2)How do you feel when you are doing the thing you are good at? When am drawing or playing sports ifeel entertained. 3)How do you feel when people don't let you do thing you are good at? I get really bored.

Chapter1 1) There are many different conflicts such the clan starving,Toa not being able to paint which is consider a taboo. 2) Sooner Toa will find food for the clan and will be allowed to paint.

Chapter2 1) the two main events are Tao helps the wolf dog, and now it wolf dog seems likes him.Later Tao has just went into a cave that his clan has forbiden him to go because spirits lay there.

Chapter3 1) Toa and Ram learn to hunt animals together. 2)Toa asked Volt if they had a wolf dog to help him with his hunting. 3) Look at Tao's decisions and actions from Volt's perspective. Pretend you are Volt. Write a first person paragraph explaining how you feel. 4)I think that some of Tao's decision aren't smart and he should work harder.E.G., he should work harder at hunting by not wasting time,because a lot of peaple are counting on Toa and the rest of the hunters. Also, I think that Tao should be allowed to paint pictures, because that is what he wants to do and makes him happy.

Chapter8 If someone's friend didn't want me to go to college. He should go to college because it's his desision not his.

Chapter9 1) Graybeard changed his mind because he felt that Toa was smart and very skillful at drawing. Toa rimnded him as a younger self or when he was a child. 2) He is caring and feels compassion for Toa. Graybeard also is wiilling to change and has faith with in Toa.

Chapter11 1)Graybeard is a good teacher because he takes time in teaching Toa instead of just not caring. I think that i would of liked beging tough by Graybeard because he is smart.

The Giver

Chapter 1 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** For a contributing citizen to be released from the community was a final decision, a teribble punishment, an overwhelming statement of failure. **Page 4**
 * Meaning:** I think that this quote means that if you do something terrible you will be punished by being released to another community. I don't think that this is fair because it was just one times that you made a mistake and everyone makes mistakes.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 2__**
 * Quote:** The Ceremony of Twelve was the last of the Ceremonies and the most important. **Page 15**
 * Meaning:**I think The Ceremony of Twelve was important because its was the final decision for his/her training or job. I don't like this idea because someone might want to try to do another job or training.

 * Quote:** Father put his bike into it's port. **Page 20**

 * Quote:**His mind wandered while Lily, as usaul, recounted a lenghy dream, this one a frienhtening one in which she had, against the rules, been riding her mother's bicycle and been caught by the Secruity Gruads . **Page 33**
 * Meaning:** I think it means that Lily is think of rebeling agaist the community's rules. I dont like this idea because Jonas is endanger of being released or going to be pnished if he breakes the community's rules or laws.

 * __Chapter 6__**
 * Quote:**The bicycle, at Nine, would be the powerful embul of moving gradully out into the community, away from the protective family unit.. **Page 39**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that this is the first step to become a young adult and has more resopnsibilties than being an eight. I like this idea because the children are staring to become more older and need to have more responsibilities.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 7__**
 * Quote:** The initial speech at the Ceremony of Twelve was made by the Chief Elder, the leader of the community who has been elected every ten years. **Page 49**
 * Meaning:** I think that this means that this community does have a goverment of elders. I don't like this idea because I think that the adult should be allowed to choose who should be the Chief Elder too.

Chapter 8 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** "Jonas has been //selected//." **Page 57**
 * Meaning:** I think it means that in this community, to be selected is a very important job to have been choosen. I don't really like the saying because it kinda sounds like Jonas is in trouble or he's getting a special job that's better then all of the jobs in that community. I like this because this i think that you have to be smart and brave for your age.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 9__**
 * Quote:** 7. You are not permitted to apply for release. **Page 65**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that you have to take the job because this job is to important. I don't think that this rule should be on thier because what happens if the job is to much to handle for you.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 10__**
 * Quote:** No doors in the community were locked. **Page 70**
 * Meaning:** I think that this means that in that community people didn't have a lot of privcy and were being watch all the time. I don't like this idea because people need their privacy because a person might be doing something personal that he/she doesn't want anyone to know. But i also like this idea because no one can be planing to rebel against the community.

Chapter 11 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** One part of his conscious knew that he was still lying there, on the bed, in the Annex room . **Page 77**
 * Meaning:** I think it means that while the old man was giving the memory to Jonas felt that he was in a outside somewhere else instead of the Annex but his mind knew that he was still in the Annex room instead of outside.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 12__**
 * Quote:** "The What?" **Page 89**
 * Meaning**: I think it means that people could'nt see colors.They did not know what colors were or what kinds of colors there were. I disagree with this because this idea because it would be really boring and dull. They would'nt be able to the grass or the sky in color not even know whaat color they are execpt for being black and white.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 13__**
 * Quote:** The bright orange of punkins beingtrunked in from the aricultural fields beyond the community boundary---seen in an instant, the falsh of brilliant color, but gone again, returning to thier flat and heuless shade. **Page 92**
 * Meaning:**I think even thought Jonas now has the abilliy to see colors now he is still not abel to see the color for as long as he wants too because he can only see the colors for a few second.

Chapter 14 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** His face scraped along jagged edges of ice and when he came, at last, to a stop, he lay shock and still,. feeling nothing at first but fear. **Page 103**
 * Meaning:** It think it means Jonas was so frighten and shocked about the memory that he has never exprienced and all that he couldn't feel anything but fear at that time.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 15__**
 * Quote:** Overwelmed with pain, he lay there in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animals die, and learned what warfare ment. **Page 113**
 * Meaning:** I think it means they didn't know what war is or means because they had never exprienced this feeling of war before. Since there community is peaceful instead of being violent.

Chapter 16 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** Grandparents. It meannt parents-of-the-parents, long ago. **Page 117**
 * Meaning**: I think this means people in that community they didn't have grandparents they only had their mothers and fathers. I don't like this idea because I think everyone should have grandparents because it is an important part of his or hers family.

Chapter 17 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** Don't play it anymore, Jonas pleaded. **Page 127**
 * Meaning:** I think it means that Jonas feels wrong about them playing that game because they don't really know that the game there playing actually happens, but since they never experienced this feeling they don't really care.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 18__**
 * Quote:** The Giver looked sad, thinking about it. **Page 132**

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 19__**
 * Quote:** Then he went limp. His head fell to the side, his eyes half open. Then he went still. **Page 140**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that which ever twins weighs more is heathy, and they kill the twin that weighs less. I think this idea is wrong because they should just kill a baby just for nothing and they just kill people without feeling anything.

Chapter 20 December 22,2006
 * Quote:** No one heard that little twin cry, either. No one but my father! **Page 148**
 * Meaning:** I think it means that Jonas was so crushed when he found out that his own father kill babies with out feeling nothing and not think this is crul and wrong. I don't like this because no one should ever be allowed to kill babies no matter what they do since there just babies.

December 22,2006
 * __Chapter 21__**
 * Quote:** "Even I voted for Gabriel's release when we had the meeting this afternoon." **Page 154**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that since Gabrierl didn't learn how to listen and obey their comands they have to get released. I don't like this idea because its only a baby of course its going to cry.

Chapter 22 December 22,2006 **Quote:** ''Plane! Plane!'' Gabriel called,............**Page 161**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that Gabrierl has never seen a bird so he guessed that it was a plane.

Chapter 23 December 22,2006 **Quote:** But perhaps it was only an echo. **Page 168**
 * Meaning:** I think this means that Jonas was traveling in a circle and that his plan did work about changing the community.
