My Initial Thoughts On: The Giver

This book has really spoken to me, in all my years of school every English teacher hands us a book and tells us to read it, and every year I do the same thing: I don't read it. However, this semester is different, the book The Giver by Lois Lowry left me wanting more! Suspense, surprises and emotions emotions emotions!! It was such an amazing book, it gave me so much emotion, and when reading books, I usually don't feel anything! There are good books and there are great books out there, and this is definitely a great book.

From The Beginning

The artist continues to paint the sky
With leaves creating his canvas
And on the lawn he lays on his chair and spins
Creating art that is not created by a paint brush
But with movement like water

The leaves become feathers
Nostalgia is nearing the heart
Without further a do
He wakes up from his dream
But he forgets

Those 5 Looks from The Giver

The Giver, "Guiding, Inspirational, Virtuous, Eccentric, Refined"

G uiding- So far this novel has guided me through the first chapters, I hope it can do more.

I nspirational- Jonas' way of life is different than ours, yet he finds a way to make it better for himself.

V irtuous- The morals and principles of the story are clear on to what its like in a different world. 

E ccentric- Kind of weird and creepy at times, mostly odd.

R efined- This book has been brought up from many decades and generations.

So Privacy or a New Identity? Which One?

Come on you guys, choose one! It's just a matter of choice! You either create a new persona on the interwebz or keep everything to yourself. Yeah I guess if you chose the path of trying to be someone you're not on Facebook or Twitter... Or Instagram... Or Vine.... But who cares?!
Lets go with A New Identity. We've all made a persona at some point in our life, it doesn't matter where. In video games, especially RPGs (Role Playing Games), we create a character and give it another name. Why? Because we can that's why! If you do create a whole new persona on the interwebz, make them stand out, be the "popular" kid. Post a lot of pictures of you and food and your pets and post a bunch of statuses about what you're doing. And if you're reading this and trying to learn something from it... You are so screwed.

What's Wrong with Me?

What’s Wrong with Me?

Spoilers! Duh!

What’s wrong with anybody these days? We’re all lazy, if you think about the human race we’re all getting lazier and lazier by the decade! But enough about that, no need to start off the day by calling all of us lazy, we’ll save that for another time. Now it’s time for the flaws that most us young adults have.

 I’m still, what others call, a baby. I’m under 20, I live in my parent’s house, I have no car, no job and I barely maintain a life. As a child I was one of the meanest kids in my pre-school, no big deal. I would set ants and bugs on fire, make wasps nests explode, skin snakes alive, I would say that I have a special place in hell for me, but now… I’m still the kid that would love to do all of that stuff, but growing up has its consequences, the excuse, “Well he’s just a kid, let him learn!” has expired and none of that will save you.

To Be Continued...
