Ending to the Giver/Intro and Ending to the Wednesday Wars
This week I recently finished the Giver and a book called the Wednesday Wars. I give The Giver a 5 out 5 stars and I would give the Wednesday Wars 5 stars. In the last chapters of The Giver it describes Jonas's journey to Elsewhere. In the first part of the ending Jonas decides to bring Gabriel with him and both of them almost die because of the harsh conditions during the journey. At the end Gabriel and Jonas reach a place where they hear music and in my opinion I think it's Elsewhere. The Wednesday Wars is about a boy named Holling Hoodhood who has recently entered 7th grade. Holling is going through a lot mostly thinks like the Vietnam War, Mrs.Baker, and Hoodhood and Associates. The time in this book is 1967. Mrs. Baker is Holling's teacher and in the beginning of the book she hates Holling's guts. Holling's father is the owner of a company called Hoodhood and Associates which is very successful. Holling's father wants to get the architect contract from Mrs. Baker's company Bakers Sport Emporium so he forces Holling to be nice to Mrs. Baker. In the next couple of paragraphs I'll explain the rest of the Wednesday Wars.
Favorite Character from the Giver/the Wednesday Wars
My favorite character in the Giver is Jonas because he is very courageous and determined to know the true secrets of the past. At the end of the book Jonas has so much determination to find the place called Elsewhere along with baby brother Gabriel. Jonas doesn't want to be like the other people in his community because he wants to know the true pain and pleasure of the past. Another reason that Jonas is my favorite character is because he cares a lot about his siblings especially his brother Gabriel. I can relate to this because when my sister goes on vacation to another state I worry a lot especially if they're safe and sound. Jonas is very caring about other people mostly of his friends and his family. Jonas does whatever is possible to keep his brother alive and safe. A good thing that describes Jonas is that he never ever gives up. Jonas tries to keep himself alive and especially safe from the planes that are trying to track him down. That is why Jonas is my favorite character from The Giver.
Favorite Character from The Wednesday Wars
In the Wednesday Wars the character that I like the best is Holling Hoodhood. Holling Hoodhood tries as hard as he can to make Mrs. Baker like him. In the city that he lives there is a north and south side. On Wednesday afternoons the kids who live in the south side go to a church and the kids from the north side go to a different church. Holling lives right in the middle of the city so he is forced to stay with Mrs.Baker. The other thing that I like about Holling is that he likes to read classic books and how he learns a lot about life by reading these books. Mrs. Baker makes Holling read Shakespeare plays and stories every Wednesday afternoons. At first Holling hates reading these plays but later in the books he learns a lot about life by reading these plays. Later in the story Mrs. Baker is reported that her husband is lost in battle. Holling is very determined to find Mrs. Baker's husband that he cheers up Mrs.Baker. At the end of the story they find Mrs. Baker's husband and Holling and Mrs. Baker become very good friends. My favorite character is Holling because we both like to help people and we both have a lot of determination.
I put this picture because having a sibling plays a big part in the Giver. Throughout the book Jonas cares a lot about his little brother that he transfers memories. Jonas learns that his father is going to "release" Gabriel from the community. Jonas decides to save Gabe's life by bringing him along to Elsewhere.
