News From Mrs. L. Golden
Welcome to October...
English/Language Arts
We will be finishing up the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry. In it, a boy named Jonas learns the dark secrets of his seemingly utopian society and escapes. When he turns twelve, Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory. The former Receiver of Memory becomes the Giver, transferring memories of the past and the rest of the world to Jonas.
The Giver book was then made into a movie. Though the two were based on the same story, there are three important differences that could've made them two separate stories. The three main differences between the book and the movie are Asher and Fiona's Assignments, the similarity all Receivers had, and the Chief Elder's role.
