Fishbowl on The Giver...

Lately in Humanities, we have been reading a book called The Giver.We have been reading about two to three chapters over days and were supposed to post 3 comments, 3 connections and 3 questions on to the BBS. Today in Humanities we got into a fishbowl again ( ya'll know what a fishbowl is) We discussed most of our questions and this was also the time ( I felt ) that we could ask even more questions. I think the book is a nice book but since I have only read the first five chapters I don't really know what is going to happen but I can kind of guess what is going to happen. I thought that this book had a connection with the movie that we watched in class called "Pleasantville" as it was almost the same way as they lived and how much they know. I say this because the way that these people in the book are living is like strict rules for example: " You have to tell your family about your dreams at lunch, dinner or breakfast" and how much they know because the two characters in the book named Jonas and Lilly don't know what a "hippo" is so I thought that maybe this could have taken place in the past. So far, I have enjoyed this book but there are even better books that I have read ( not that this is a bad book).
