week 6

Chasing Lincoln's Killer: John Wilkes Booth plans to kill Honest Abe. I don't know why, but he wants to murder him with a single shot pistol. The caliber of the pistol is .44 magnum. It's a muzzle loading pistol, manufactured by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia. He murders Abe in Ford's theater.

week 5

the giver: Jonas is the reciever. He finds out that he is allowed to lie. He can also ask questions and get answers. The guy starts with the first topic, snow. Jonas then was not allowed to tell his dreams.

week 4

The giver: Jonas realized that the womans eyes were clouded and blank and that she was blind. The new baby is cute. Lily thinks that its eyes are funny, just like Jonas's. She thinks he is SO cute.(the baby) The announcement that Jonas had heard was very humiliating.I personally do not like this book.

week 4

the giver: It was almost December and Jonas is starting to be frightened. He felt that something very terrible was about to happen. Then a rasping voice over an intercom said "leave your bicycles where they are." To be released means to be killed or murdered. Jonas was also very careful about his language very much unlike his friend Asher who talked to fast and mixed things up.
