__**Lois Lowry **﻿ __ **She is the auther of THE GIVER.**



==Lois Lowry, author of over 20 novels and winner of the Newbery Medal twice, is a woman to be taken seriously. This native of Hawaii has become a favorite of both children and young adults. She has tackled a number of topics in her literature including adoption, mental illness, cancer, the Holocaust and futuristic societies. Whatever the theme, Lowry portrays realistic life experiences to her audience. ==
 * Lois Lowry was born March 20, 1937 in Hawaii to Robert and Katharine Hammersberg. Her father was an Army dentist and the family lived all over the world. She attended Brown University, but left after her sophomore year to get married and raise a family of four children. They settled in Maine, where she returned to college and received her degree from the University of Southern Maine. Lois Lowry fulfilled a childhood dream when she began writing in the mid-1970's. Now divorced, she lives in West Cambridge with her dog, Bandit, and spends weekends in her 19th century farmhouse in New Hampshire. **


 * In her books, Lois Lowry throws her characters and readers into many thought-provoking situations. The contemporary young adult reader is compelled to confront society with all of its imperfections. Lois Lowry told Contemporary Authors that she measures her success as an author by her ability to "help adolescents answer their own questions about life, identity and human relationships." **

Why do we need to make choices? Wouldn't it be better if someone else choose for you?

People should make their own choices because if they didnt everyone would be the same. I think that it would be extrealily boreing if everyone was the same. You should make your own decisions so you can be your own self, not like everyone else. And it wouldnt be easyer if someone made all your decisions. Making your owm choices makes you be unique in your own way. Everyone can make their own choices, its not hard to do. Sometimes its good to make a mistake, because even if you make a mistake you still learn from it. The choices you make could make you a better person. If you are just told to do that, or do this, you will never learn anything. You have to make your own choices no matter what anyone says. :)

WHAT IS SOCIETY __Dictionary Definition:__ an organized group of persons associated together for religious, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.

__Your definition IN YOUR WORD:__ A group of people that are togeather for a reason.

__CREATE A SOCIETY OF YOURS. WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE?__ -One FULL sentence is 1 point. The society i would create would be good, and bad. There would be good people and there will also be bad people. If there was only good people. it would get boreing. If there are only bad people, then it would be choas. Neither is to good to have, so why not just have them both. (IF NEITHER IS GOOD WHY YOU'LL HAVE BOTH? - because 2 negatives = a possitive-) People should still be nice, because its the right thing to do. I cant realy force people to be good. (THIS IS YOUR SOCIETY, FIND A WAY TO MAKE THEM WHAT YOU WANT) The poeple need some __freedom__, and the right to make their own choices. If they made the wrong choice, then at least they learned why it was the wrong choice. (LEARNED WHAT??? WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT LEARNING FROM THEIR MISTAKE AND DOING AGAIN AND AGAIN???) It would be very boreing if everyone ALWAYS made the right (WHO IS DEFINING THE RIGHT? RIGHT OR WRONG ACCORDING TO WHO???) choice. Even though its not the BEST society (IT IS YOUR SOCIETY AND YOU CAN DREAM ABOUT THE BEST), Its still not the worst. Just think of it that way. If it was the worst, then it would just be very terrible, but its not. So i guess this is a good society to be in. (Awe Hanan good job) -Mallory Austin) __COMPARE AND CONTRAST YOUR SOCIETY TO TODAY's__ -One comparision 1 point.

My society is almost like todays society. Todays society is good, and bad. My society is good, and bad too. The difference is that todays society has war, alot of conflict, and is kind of mean, (WHAT IS THIS??) (GOOD AND BAD WILL ALWAYS FIGHT!!!) but not all of it is. There is some good, and nice, and careing in todays society. (Careing is not good! - Jacob Weills). However my society does not have alot of war, or conflicts, or judgeing. Judgeing is not nice. Also in my society its OK if people make mistakes, at least they learn something. In this society people have consuquences for making a mistake. I dont realy like that, but if people dont learn from their mistake and continue to make that same mistake then they should have consuqences. (HOW, AND WHAT KIND OF CONSEQUENCE?) It al depends on the mistake they made. Everyone deserves a second chance. :) ( **A convict was about to executed. They ask his last words. He says I learned my lesson, I'll never do it again!)**
