Book Review

The Giver by Lois Lowry

Do you like science fiction? Well this book is waiting for you to read it!
The genre of this book is science fiction. It is a novel that is adventurous
and teaches us to never stop but to keep going forward.

The setting in The Giver is in a town where you only see black and white.
There is no pain, no hunger and no war in this town. The Giver is also set
in the country and through rough and uneven ground.

The main character is Jonas.Jonas is a kid that lives in a town that can
only see black and white. Jonas lives with his younger sister and his
mother and farther. As Jonas gets older he gets the job as the new receiver
of memory.

Jonas has lived his life not knowing the truth and is about to find out every
little secret and memory about his town. Jonas meets The Giver on his
first day at work, Jonas starts to understand why he was given this job.
He soon finds out that he has to go on a mission to share his secrets and
memories with his town.

I connect to this book because some of the characters are around my age.
When Jonas is on his mission he doesn’t stop he keeps going to protect
him and his friends.

My opinion of The Giver is that the story was great. The Giver captivated
me because there was a lot happening. I understood The Giver very well.

I recommend people who enjoy adventurous books and from the ages
10 and up.

Lois Lowry is a great author and has written lots of books. I particularly
enjoy her books because they are adventurous and interesting.

Key Points

I will have been successful in my reading when:

• I have read each of these articles
• I have written two or three complete paragraphs to summarise the key ideas within these

three articles.

The ISS orbits the earth in 90 minutes, and travels 16 times around the earth once a day it also
travels 400 km and 320 km above us. The ISS is the biggest object ever sent into space to orbit
the earth. 16 countries, including many ESA member states all worked together to build the Station.
The biggest part of the ISS is a central truss which 16 huge solar panels are attached to.
The Columbus laboratory was transported to the ISS by shuttle  on the 11th of 2008.
The astronauts study plants, animals and weightlessness.
