The Giver
Read Across America Poem
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book and read with a child.
You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you've got
In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.
There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.
Come join us on March 2nd
Your own special way
And make this America's
Read to Kids Day."

ReplyDeleteI thought that those doctors were bad and needed help but that poor girl she must of been in so much pain.
ReplyDeletei wonder if she will ever walk again
ReplyDeleteI think it is the most amazing book ever. Its sad.
ReplyDeletei liked the chapter but it was really sad. that is why adults told her not to go there. i wonder why they didnt tell her that there was field mines there.
ReplyDeleteThat chapter was very strong and sad the girl was late for school and was upset because she is missing valuable school time so she took a short cut and got her leg blow off and she did not know untell she got to the hospital wich was not really a hospital the doctor knew how to clean and bandage wounds!!!
ReplyDeleteThe thing that struck me the most was when she had no skin and it was all muscle and bone and nothing else that the doctors could do and they new that germans were coming to take a person that needed to and they took her and she was only 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethis book is amazing i love it but its cool but bad but cool and even bad but really i love it but it is horrible
ReplyDeleteWhat really struck me in this chapter the most was that the doctors at the hospital didn't know that much at all about... being a doctor. All that they pretty much new how to do was how to put alcohol on a wound and how to bandage it, which I learned in like the second grade. So I would much rather take care of myself before going to that hospital.
ReplyDeleteit was sad because the doctor didn't even have band-aids and i felt bad....
ReplyDeleteWhat struck me from this chapter was why she didn't want to look at her leg. To see what's wrong, to see what happened, or to see what the people were starring at.
ReplyDeleteI think that its a good thing that Germans picked her. Because if they didn't she would have died for sure. Because the stupid afghan doctors didn't know how to help her. They only new how to bandage her
ReplyDeleteI am just testing the website
ReplyDeletei feel so bad for the girl whos foot blew up in the mines it was so sad
ReplyDeletei think this book is kind of sad so far but yeah. i would hate to have my legs blown off. i bet that would hurt REALLY badly.
ReplyDeleteI thought that it was a vary interesting chapter
ReplyDeletethought that chapter, The Shortcut was a sad chapter. I felt bad when the girl got hit my a mine. And when she went to the doctor, I was surprised that they didn't have the skills to help her.
ReplyDeleteI think that the part with the landmine was sad but like having that all as a flash back because that must have been a horrible day and i deffinatly wouldnt want to remember it.
ReplyDeleteI felt sick when Mrs. B was reading the chapter when the girl got her legs blown off. She was making sound effects and it made me sick. I think she was reading it with WAY TOO MUCH EMOTION. But other than that, the book is ok so far.
ReplyDeletei almost felt sick when Mrs. B was reading the chapter when the girl got her legs blown off. She was reading it WAY TOO MUCH emotion and it made me sick!
ReplyDeletewow old greg it was sad and i deffinitly wouldn't want to have a flashback like that ethier!
ReplyDeletei think the chapter was really sad.. why wouldnt anybody tell her why she couldnt actually go in the fields? cuz if u dont say why u cant go in the fields or what is dangerous then how are they going to know that its not safe?
ReplyDeleteummmm idk....
