Prompt:How did the reading make you feel? Why?
After reading I felt many different emotions one of them was sympathy Sympathy for the way they lived for how they couldn't make there own children affected me drastically . I felt like they couldn't connect. When I once read a book that told me that if they have been together long enough or are connected by blood the other person could feel it. Maybe even feel that something was wrong. Second the way they live with out color made me think that with out color there isn't really a point to things with out a sound. Lastly was how they never heard music. This affected me drastically because music makes you feel different emotions it can make you happy or sad depends how it sounds.
Second emotion I felt after reading was frustration. I felt frustration because of two reasons one was because of how they couldn't have dreams. This made me mad because why would they want to stop dreams. Dreams keep you alive and make you believe that you can do what ever you want. with Dreams you fly higher than anybody else. Second thing that mad me frustrated was that they were being controlled basically This was very important in the book because with out them controlling the pople there would never be a giver.
Over all after reading the book it made me think of what if I lived there or what if there wasn't any music or color in my life. I dont think if I found out about elsewhere I would want to live in the Giver's world. It made me appreciate the sounds of my dog when he barks or even the color of barf because with out that I would never be in the place I am right now. I would never feel disgust or love for anyone.
Nice blog. I felt really sympathetic that the people couldn't hear music because it is such a big part of our lives and sometimes can give us emotions. I can really connect with your blog.
