Literary Essay Rough Draft

Lois Lowry’s story, “The Giver,” takes place in the winter there is no direct location of where the main character named  Jonas is at. Jonas lives in a community where there is no fear at all no pain or war. No one has to make their own decisions or get to pick their own job. Everything is under control. Jonas is living a perfect life in his community when something changes when he reaches the age 12 he realized that he is someone is calling him, it was the Giver. Jonas finds out that he is the receiver and he must know the truth about the past and the only way Jonas can is if the Giver shares his memories with Jonas. One lesson that the story suggests is that when you are younger you don’t have anything to worry about until you are older.

 

From the very beginning, the description and details in the story shows how jonas doesn’t have to worry about anything. He was on his bike to school when a jet zoomed over his head. He didn’t get scared he just stood in one place and watched as the jet went by and went to his class at school. Once he got to class he did his work like nothing happened. He talked to his friends and not about the jet.

 

When he got older the things that Jonas has to go through is the Givers memories, those memories that Jonas had to go through were difficult because Jonas witnessed pain, hatred, sadness, and even his own death at one point of the givers memories. But he then gets to the point of where he finds out the truth about  the reason of why the there is no pain. Jonas talks to the giver and realizes that the history of the world is being hidden from the public. It is being hidden from the public because the government don’t want the public to know the truth about what is outside the community like no pain, no fear, it sounds too good to be true right.

 

Now Jonas realized that the truth about this world, “he must tell the people of his community, the truth about the government. Jonas never know that he has to make this hard of a decision. To break his promise with the giver or show the public that ever thing is not true. He really doesn’t know what to do.

A Story About Bullying

Wednesday the day a kid named Kyle wished he didn’t have to go to St. Joe elementary school. He woke up and got dressed he yawn putting on his clothes when he hears  his dad calling “Kyle breakfast is ready” Kyle puts his clothes on as fast as he can and he rushed down the stairs excited. He thinks am I going to  have waffles, or pancakes, or even better. He runs around the corner to see oatmeal. He thought to himself out of all if the things that we could have for breakfast we are having oatmeal. He sat down on a chair near the table were his oatmeal is steaming  in a bowl. Kyle’s dad said “come on eat your oatmeal before it gets cooled” when Kyle says ” do I have to eat oatmeal and why are we having oatmeal again for breakfast this is the third time this week”. Kyle’s dad said, “yes again we ran out of milk for cereal so you eat or not”. Kyle sat down to eat his oatmeal after all he was hungry but he also wanted something different then oatmeal. Kyle stomach sounded like a pack of hungry dogs.

When Kyle got done with his oatmeal he got on the bus. When Kyle was walking down the walk way of the bus a bully named Austin tripped Kyle everyone on the bus started to laugh at Kyle. He got up mad at Austin and kept on walking to the back of the bus.

He arrived at school on the bus that had a lot of people seating with each other but one seat. The seat Kyle was in. He got off the bus and walk to school and to his locker. He put his stuff in his locker and went to his class. He was the smartest in his class an everyone would copy off his work are called him a nerd and once he was out of class Austin would bully him and knock his stuff on the ground. It went on like this for a long time him being alone getting bulled and no one was there to help him. Un till a new student named Jessy was getting bulled by three girls. Kyle didn’t know their names but he felt like he was doing something wrong by just sitting there not doing anything to help the girl that is getting bulled so he walked up to the girls and said leave her alone. The three girls turned around and looked at Kyle. Kyle was now shaking and his heart was beating faster than it has ever in his life. He heard a teacher walking down the hall this was the right time to scream for help he thought and he did “HELP” that was when the principal walk around the corner over to Kyle and when the three girls saw the principal they ran, Kyle walked to the girl that was on the ground crying. Kyle said to the girl are you okay and the girl didn’t reply to him the principal walked up to Kyle and said she would take care of the problem and told Kyle that he could leave and when he was about to walk away the girl said thank you to Kyle. Kyle turn around and said ” are you saying thank you to me” she nodded yes.

Ever since that day he had a friend. So we all think that it is not okay to bully and if you see someone that is getting bullied you should always speak up and tell a teacher or an elder so they can help the person that is getting bullied or they can also help you if you need help. So if you can stop people from getting bullied. But there is not just one type of bullying there is cyber bullying and physical bullying and others, but I also have some facts that can help you with those  types of bullying. You can get help from elders or if you at school you can get help from a principle or teacher. Cyber bullying you can block the user if they keep sending you hate mail. Also don’t say anything back to them because they will know that you are paying attention and they will keep bullying you. You can tell an adult and they can take it from there. If you do that they will probably never text you back or make fun of you ever again.
