Week 1- Reflector

  • After reading the first chapter of The Giver by Lois Lowry, I predicted that the rest of this book will be about the protagonist is Jonas try to escape from his world right now to discover the new world.
  • I think the mood of this first chaper is very peaceful and quite. Nothing is too novel, or interesting to the reader rigt now.
  • Base on the first chapter, I infer that Jonas will be more confident, brave and ready to fight back for justice. He will solve his own problem and help his family and other people.
  • I think the big idea in this first chapter is “apprehensive”. Because Jonas was scared about his ceremony in december. If his fear more and more big, it will turn to an ostacle will block his way discover a new world.
  • I feel this text make me absorb to the story. Make me want to read more and find the answer to solve Jonas’s issue right now.
  • I think Jonas try to escape from hhis own fear by share to his family. He want to be more confident and his family will help him to face and reach to his fear.
  • While I read this book, I think well Jonas will face lots of obstacle that he can not imagine how complicate that is.
