 * __The Giver Chapters 10-13__**


 * A.1**

__: How would the story be different if Jonas told it in his own words? What if the narrator were completely omniscient and knew much more than everyone in the community?__
====The story Would be different if Jonas told it because Jonas could tell more details about his Community. He would alo be able to expalin his feelings in a more detailed way. If Jonas told the story he wouldnt know what the other characters are like. And he wouldnt be able to describe all of the new climate changes because they are all new to him.====

: It would be better because the narrator would know more about the Community, and their odd rules.

 * DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A BETTER STORY IF WE KNEW THESE DETAILS, OR IS IT BETTER IF WE "DISCOVER" THEM AS WE READ? WOULD JONAS TELL US DIFFERENT THINGS THAN THE NARRATOR OF THE STORY? CAN YOU GIVE EXAMPLES?**

**A.2** **__The Memory of jumping off a really tall diving board!__**
It was at the wave pool, and I was being pressured to jump off a really tall diving board. But I was way too scared. All my friends jumped off it over and over again and I started to think...well I guess I should jump beacuse I probably wont be able to come back for a long time. As I climbed up the ladder my stomach was turning and had that feeling when you start to go down in an elevator. I got to the top and started shuffling to the edge of the diving board. I was cold when I was up there and when I looked down at the clear blue water I felt like jumping in. Half of me wanted to run back and climb down. I breathed in the smell of chlorine and heard kids laughing and my friends yelling JUMP! thats when I made up my mind and I just leaned forward and started falling down down down. The feeling was great! Then it was over in a flash. I went in head first into the cold water.


 * GREAT DESCRIPTION, TAYLOR! HOW DID IT FEEL IN THE WATER? WAS IT DIFFERENT THAN JUMPING FROM A LOWER BOARD?**


 * Connection:** I have had a connection to sun, snow, and sunburn many times. I have gone to the beach when its a warm sunny day. I have also gone sleding and have had a sunburn lots of times, and it stings!


 * CAN YOU THINK OF THE first TIME THAT YOU HAD THIS? WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO "DISCOVER" WHAT A SUNBURN WAS? REMEMBER, JONAS IS EXPERIENCING THESE THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!**
