'The Giver '- Reflection

What is the value of memory in The Giver? Why does the community need it preserved?

The Giver provides wisdom to the elders for consideration of changes through memory's of things in the past.Without him/her the community would have no wisdom.The community needs memories held in only one person, because they think that there will be chaos and confusion within the community without a Giver.

Persuasive Writing

The School Day Should Not End At Five

Breaking news: Last night John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, has announced that the intermediate school day will end at five at night, yes FIVE AT NIGHT! I think that this is a bit over the top...but here is reporter Dewald Botha on the scene…

Hi, Dewald here I am currently interviewing kids who are against this (cough) disappointing event, first I am interviewing a young boy called Leo Wiltshire, Leo.Thanks Dewald I find this bad because when will people have time for sports?
You can't just come out of school for sports, so you will end up not getting enough exercise turning you into a fat lazy slob whether you like it or not. When will you cheer your brothers and / or sisters on, you wont have time, why because you will be at school, then they will fall behind because of their lack of confidence.

Okay that was a good answer now lets move on to William Tidswell, Will.Thanks Dewald, what about homework. When will you get time for it when you will come home and have dinner and stuff like that all night, then you will be tired and you won't be able to get up in the morning, making you late then getting detention, will you do homework at school but it is HOMEwork.

Here is my Mum on the scene right now, Mum. I think it is bad because when will I see my eldest son Harry, all he will be doing is eating,doing homework and he will be at school. Does John Key want him to miss all his clubs and sports? We will not be able to help him because he will know everything that we try to teach him.

(That was the people who dislike the idea)
Okay here is the other half of the story with people who have a different perspective on things…

Miss Kay.Thanks Dewald, I think it is a good because I love seeing the kids, it brings joy to my day, for all I care the school day can end at 2:00am, I cannot wait for tomorrow.:) She sure likes school kids now on to the last positive review, Mrs Hyundai. I like how school ends late now because my son is getting smarter and I have some ME time I love you John Key! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO I AM ON TV, SHOUT OUT TO J..

Sorry folks (cough) technical difficulties. (These were the people who like the idea)

Okay now here is my conclusion to this story: Do you think this healthy for kids to barely see their family,or do exercise? I certainly don’t, I love to bike so when will people be able to bike and or scooter to school, this lack of exercise cannot be good for people. But hey that is just my opinion. So I hope you send in your thoughts for Seven Sharp, which is next on TV One…
