Fall Descriptive Pieces

Explanatory:

Of the four seasons fall is most definitely my preferred season by far. It’s cool, but not cold; it’s rainy, but not stormy. Fall is the best time of year! The smell of warm vanilla, cinnamon, and apple pie float through the air everywhere you go. I suppose that that’s the joy of autumn here in Wisconsin, because fall is a spa for the senses. The colors are beautiful. I think that throughout fall nature is at its peak of gorgeousness. Everywhere you go you see genuinely generous people happy because of fall.

When fall comes around, you can always tell, especially if you are anywhere near Wisconsin. It’s the clean, brisk smell in the air, the colors of the leaves; even the way the sun sets and rises. I adore all of these things so much. Fall is a heaven for all things human, and I love it.

Narrative:

            The wind was whipping through my hair as I was just finishing raking all of the leaves into a gigantic pile. I couldn’t wait to jump right into it! All of a sudden a colossal gust of wind beat me to it and blew the leaves all over the yard. Autumn, the sound of the leaves crunching beneath your feet, and the feeling of complete delight when you pounce into enormous piles of leaves like you are the predator and they’re your prey.

The Giver Essay

What is the real ending to The Giver? Did Jonas find a new community? Did he die of hypothermia or exhaustion? What really happened? There is no real ending because the author left it as a complete cliff hanger. Sometimes I love a good cliff hanger, but not in this case because toward the end of the book it feels like the author was just sick of writing the book so she gave up.

The end of The Giver is quite lifeless, boring, and not explanatory at all. For example, in the last 20 pages of the book, I was thinking that there would be at least one hundred pages left. There is still so much to explain, like if they are alive or dead, where they are, and why there is music. I think that Jonas and Gabriel ended up coming to another community. That community was probably celebrating Christmas because they were singing, and Jonas saw lights, but it never says that, so how do you really know?

In conclusion, I think that Lois Lowry didn’t try very hard toward the end of the legendary book, The Giver. All Jonas does is walk, go through some hardships, find a community, and then the book ends. I believe that even I could have written a better ending than Louis Lowry did when she wrote The Giver.

Color Assignment

If our whole entire world didn’t have color, what would you do? Well, I guess you wouldn’t even know it existed. But just imagine no vibrant splashes of unique creativeness. You wouldn’t be original. Everything would be the same dull, gray, nothingness color. Life would be boring and uneventful.

            Sameness… Uniformity… Would the word unique even exist? Maybe, but no one would know the real meaning of it. Who would even come up with a rule like this? In the book, “The Giver”, the Elders of the community came up with a rule just like this one. I suppose if you think about it, a lot of feelings and differentness would be extinguished from the community. No jealousy, no bullying, everything is alike. Although this rule would be nice, there are, of course, some downsides. How would you like to have a dreary, colorless life? Personally, it would stink for me. If you saw my room, you would probably describe it as an explosion of color. If I had to choose one color that I would miss it would be all neon colors because they are so vibrant that life would seem almost lifeless without them.

            If you think about it, color is a huge part of society, and it would be a shame to see it go. It represents so much more than just the clothing we wear.
