The Giver
So I was assigned to read the novel "The Giver" by Lois Lowery. I have to be honest, when I first started to read the story I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then just a few days ago I came home around seven in the evening and fell a sleep on my couch. I woke up around ten p.m. I knew that I wasn't going to get any sleep that night because of my late night nap, so I decided to read "The Giver" again. I was hooked! I didn't end up going to sleep till about one in the morning. I finished the book the next day. I really enjoyed this book, I found the build up to Jonas's twelve ceremony very interesting. To find out that he had the most honorable job out all his friends was pretty cool as well. But even though Jonas had the most honorable job as Receiver of Memories, it would change him and I think that it changes him for the better.

Thought this was a fitting post
Thought that this was appropriate since we are talking about social media and the internet in english 100. My eyes are now opened on how much we use the internet in school. Maybe the internet it should be a Utility. Please click and watch, it's well worth it. Susan Crawford on Why U.S. Internet Access is Slow, Costly and Unfair | Moyers & Company | BillMoyers.com
