Censorship

Censorship means to ban, to forbidden.Music and television is censored because of the things people put on the air and what they put on the screen. I think the moms that are not upbeat or hipped would like the TV, and the music censored. Other people want music and television censored so that their children will  not grow up to be a gang banger, to grow up and WANT to be in the street, or they don't want their children to grow up and be like them other rappers cursing, and having unsafe sex. Censorship has affected me because some of the things that people have censored did not need to be censored. I feel censorship should be illegal because people are going to things other people don't want them to do.

The Reciever

His job is to recieve all the memories. We think he does enjoy his assignment becuase he likes the way it feels and he wanted the giver to do it again. I think his assignment his very special but then it would be hard for me because i would like to talk to my friends about my trainings.

The Giver

The Giver is getting good. I am really loving the book. I thought that the book was going to bo boring but know I see that book covers chould not be judged. The book is begining to become really interesting. Jonas is finally experiencing the way a real reciever is supposed to. L-O-V-E. It.

Sameness

Sameness is when a group of people or of children is treated the sames way as the other. I am affected by sameness because I am treated the same way as everyone else in my school. I think the highest authority controls sameness. I feel that sameness is fair with in certain places. Sameness can help me accomplish my goals because I feel if I am treated the same with others that when I am grown and I have my own career that I know how to be the same, and how to treat children. Sameness hindercan progress because if a person is treated different and they are held back then when they get to experience sameness then they person will just branch off and not listen.
