Anne’s Blog

Jonas’s community is very hypocritical though they force themselves to think otherwise. When the nurturers say they are releasing infants, really they are stabbing the small children in the forehead with a large needle and draining the life out of them. Jonas’s dad, who is a nurturer, lied to Jonas about the process of release. Jonas thought that his father had nothing to do with actually release of the children though his father “released” the child himself. Jonas’s father pretended like he knew nothing of where the children would go after they were released or rather, killed. Some other hypocritical examples could include the war games that the children play. The kids think that they are just playing some other game, but to Jonas and the Giver, they see blood shed, warfare, and terror from the earth’s past. The members of the community are so oblivious to the fact that they are all pretenders, they find it almost soothing to bluff, though they know nothing more then the lies they tell themselves.

orry I havn’t been bloging in a while…..thats  because I just got a facebook……Anyway, you can expect for more posts more frequntly!

So tonight I went to our schools cross country meet. I rode my bike and on my way home I hurt  my leg/legs. I was turning into my driveway as my tire flipped out or something because it skidded and I scraped the entire right side of my leg. Its not to bad because it looks like a big red oval and a few other small scrapes including: one on my knee, one of the top of my ankle/the bottem of my shin, and a couple on my pinkie toe. Then while my bike was falling to the left and I was falling to the right, I pulled something in my left hip and that hurt to.

For this labor day weekend, I went to the Mead Cup, in Dayton,Ohio. It was really fun and my team either came in third or fourth out of 64 teams. I think we could have won the whole tournament but we just fell short of our potential. Anyway, I got home and now, we have school tomorrow. : ( / : ). I’m happy yet sad that we have to go back to school after a four day weekend. I mean it gives me something to do, but then again, that something could be homework. Also, we only have three days of school this week, Wed., Thurs., and Fri. Anyway, I would like to make a shout out to whoever visited me from Portugal or New Zealand. You guys rock! I love that feeling when I look at my cluster map and find you had a visit from another country! I mean I can’t leave out Mrs. W. She helped me reach my five dot goal when she visited from Australia! That also reminds me of something. I got this letter from People to People Ambassador programs. They invited me to go on a trip to Australia in the summer of 2010! Is till have to go to the meeting to get more information about it, but I’m super excited because I didn’t really do anything extraordinary, but I know I could. This trip would enhance my knowledge of other cultures and geographys. Anyway, I always love to know what you keep yourself busy with! Have an awesome school year!

I want to know if you have ever experienced the domino effect. EX. One person at your lunch table goes to the restroom. One after another, the rest of the people at your table are in the bathroom. True story. Anyway, I also want to know if you have experienced a PHYSICAL domino effect. EX. I was with my friends swimming. We all lined up on the side of the pool and held hands. The first person in line would jump into the pool, then the next person would be pulled in, etc….  Anyway, I just wanna hear what you think about the domino effect?

Don’t you hate when you forget someones birthday? Well that happened to me today. See today was Amanda’s birthday and I forgot. Lucky for me only one of my friends brought her in a present. So tomorrow at school I’m bring marble cookies with blue icing. I hope it won’t make me look to bad. Anyway, I should probably start to mark birthdays down or something. Oh, and I also made this awesome card. Check out the cheesy line in the top right corner! (It says “Hope it’s tiki-rific!)
