Here goes!

Hey! So I just finished reading The Giver last night. I don't HAVE to read it for awhile but I was interested so decided to jump right in. It was very interesting if not a little confusing at first. Up until the last few chapters I found it to be more strange than anything. I couldn't figure out where the author was going with this whole odd world that she had created. I thought that maybe if I understood her as a person a little better I might better grasp her meaning. So I googled her. I found her biography here http://www.loislowry.com/bio.html It was very interesting to me. After she said said what the common theme was in all her books I was able to see it clearly. This interesting book is all about the interdependancy of people. Their interdependancy on each other and their surroundings. Ms. Lowry showed me how important things are that I often take for granted. Color and emotions that are involved in memories. It was intriguing to me how she was able to show me the importance of object in my life by creating an alterante life. It probably didn't help my reasoning ability that i read this book so late at night but now i feel like I completly understand. I loved this book! I also enjoyed getting to know about the author.
