Rj #15

Dear Book club members,


As you know we are reading the book "The giver" currently at the time. My last rj was based on chapters 1-3. This one is based on chapters 1-10. The character so far are Jonas,Asher,The Giver,The elders,Fiona,Lily,the new child aka Gabriel, and Jonas' parents. The setting isn't in poverty. The appears to be a piece of land. The place where they live isn't a democracy like how it is here. They live in a dictator ship by the elders. They have to go by a set of rules. If you break a rule you get kicked out which is mean. They have sets of groups by age to tell what you can do. At the age 12 they stop tract of your birthday and you have to go to city hall to find your birthday. I would recommend the book but I must warn you that the beginning is boring.


Sincerely,
Lucky

Title: Animal shelter's behavior experts face life and death decisions for animals
Author: John Owens
Source: The Miami Herald or Chicago Tribune
The topic of the article is animal shelter decisions
The main idea of the article is: An animal shelter in Chicago that is a anti-cruelty based shelter has to chose decision that regards to life and death situations to animals. It is stated.
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to tell the reader about what animal shelters do to check the animals behavior
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (not biased) because he does not show any form of opinions.
The pattern of organization of the article is in flashback, fact by fact, and a interview of the animal shelter.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is to focus on the main idea to talk about what is happening in the animal shelter.
The text features included in the article are: quotes from the interview of the animal shelter which helps the pattern of organization.
This article is about (a summary in your own words) what animal shelter behavior experts do. If the animal is not tame they would train it but if it isn't trainable they would put it down humanely. 
The significance (importance) of this article is that some animals die due to behavior issues.
What I learned from this article is some animals are put down if they weren't trainable.
What I liked about this article is how they put a lot of information on what they do in the animal shelter.
What I did not like about it I don't like how they put down animals if they weren't trainable or tame I would just keep on trying.
Who should read this article and why people who would learn about animal shelters because some people would like to volunteer there. However it should be people not in the group PETA
This article reminds me of my mentally challenged bird who flew away. I chose that because he was hard to train.
(text-to-text) This really doesn't remind me anything related to this article in text form.
(text-to-world) This reminded me of the animals that were put down since the text and animal shelters that put down animals are related.
New vocabulary I learned
I did not learn any new words.

Dear book club members,

As you know we are reading the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. I would say the book is a meh book. The book started out with a plane that did not look like any other aircraft they seen. It was a fighter plane with a pilot using misguided directions. Everyone had to go inside for protection. The setting appears during poverty. As they use bicycles to move around for transportation.  I find the beginning a bit boring as it’s not like a juicy steak. However the way I'm reading is going by a fast rate. But then again I'm on the first few chapters so I really don't know the outcome of the book. To anyone else reading this, I don't know whether or not to recommend it since I'm only on the 5 chapter. I really don't know the characters since they barely say them. The only one I know is Asher they really don't tell anything about him.

From your member,

Lucky
