The Giver #2

Jonas say's that lying can be a bad thing because it is bad not to tell the truth. It is also disturbing because it is one of there rules is not to lie. so if you lied it would be disobeying the rules. And when you disobey the rules you can get in a lot of
trouble sometimes.So it would be a good idea not to lie.

I think Jonas also thinks lying is bad because you are supposed to share your feelings but if you lie about them then you are being dishonest and that is not good. Because you could get in a lot of trouble for that so i would tell the truth. But it would be hard to decied witch rule to obey because if you obey the normal rules you are disobeying the reciever rules.

But there are some good things about this rule. If you did something you are ashamed of and someone says what wrong you don't have to tell the truth you can lie and say something else. Or if someone asked you to do something and you did not do it and they asked you if you did you can lie and say you did it. But the best thing for Jonas to lie about is his training and to lie and not to say anything about it. So there are god things and bad things about this rule.

The Giver

I would not want my future to be decided for me or else no matter what I do I would be stuck with a certain job or destany instead of making my own choices. Because if my life was already chosen for me you could not change it and if you had a dream that you wanted to do a certain job you can not try to get if it is already decided that I am something else so you can never be something you want. But there will be some people that are lucky and get what they wanted to be so they will have a very happy life. So I would never want my life to be chosen for me. I want to make my own choices in life and learn from my mistakes.

The last White Mountains

I choose what do you think will happen to the characters in the next book. Well right now I am not so sure what will happen but I have one idea about what could happen to them. That idea is ,that when they get there they will meet people from 14 above in age and make new friends and enimies. I also think soon enough they will get sick of the mountains and the wind and snow, and move back down into a city and become a vagrant down there. Because they will not get capped but if they do move into a city Henry will have to learn french because Will has and Beanpole knows it already and they are in france. That is what I think will happen to the characters in the next book of the Tripods.

White Mountains blog post 4

In this novel is about three boys who don't want to be capped, and the one place they can't get capped is the White Mountains, their journey there is mostly what this novel is all about. The one of the only things that they all want is to have their own brain to themselves and the other one to make it to the White Mountains. If they didn’t find Beanpole then they wouldn’t make it to the White Mountain as easily as they did. Because Beanpole can speak the langue of the country they are in and english. So if people ask them questions on their journey Beanpole would be the one to respond to it, and it would not be as suspicous if they could not respond back in the same langue.


In the red tower Will had a nice room, nice food and Eloise in the castle.But if he wanted to stay in the castle he would have to be capped and he would rather die than be capped. And I know that for a fact because in the book in quotes it said that Will would rather die than be capped. This quote was the key to the whole book because it means that the White Mountains is the perfect place for him. When Will was at the castle saw a tripod right outside his room. This mean that if he saw a Tripod he would have to act natural around the Tripods, But if he does do that and he is with Eloise she would also figure out something was wrong with Will, that he was scared of something. But it is either that or be capped so I think soon Eloise will find out the real Will. I just hope he does not stay in the castle or else he would have been a giant waste to come all this way, and to pretty much get capped in a different country. So I am hoping they make it to the White Mountains.

1.The cap's had a chip in it that only allowed the tripods control their thought and how they think. So people can't think on there own


2.(The bitter thing was that all the spirit, all the gallantry, was wasted. for even more than their inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being capped. it was a part of becoming a knight, or of turning from girl to lady.) Page. 111.

All this was rendered futile by the sight of her bare head. I had come to think of her as my friends: perhaps more. But now I knew that she belonged, irretrievably, body and soul, to the Enemy. Page. 116.



3.It last five days, and at the end is their Capping Day." " And if we are still here then . . .," Henry said. " We are offered for Capping. True But we will not be here. You will be strong by then, Will. And during the time of the tournament there is always much confusion. We can get away, and not be missed for day, perhaps two or three. Page .109

How will Beanpole help Will and Henry

Well I think one way Beanpole could possibly help Will and Henry. He does speak the langue of the place they are at some it would be a lot easier to pass through the lands. Because if someone stopped and asked you something you would not be able to answer but since they have beanpole he can speak the langue so he can respond to the question.

One other reason I think it would be really help full because beanpole also knows where he is a lot better than Will and Henry. And if they get lost Beanpole will be able to read the signs and know were that is because he knows the langue and the place were they are.

How Is Will Like Me???

How is Will like me? When I first read this question I could not think of an answer but soon enough, I got a few. Here they are. Oh wait a minute, you don't know what I'm talking about. Well let me tell you. Will is the main character in the book White Mountains, so Will - Reader, Reader - Will. Now that we all know what I am talking about, lets continue. How is will like me.

I think will is like me because we are both boys, that is one of my examples. But also Will and I are both very curious about things. In chapter one, when Will takes out the watch because he's curious - like when I read this book. I was curious about a lot of things.White Mountains makes you think about alot of things, maybe too many at once.I think Will is also like me because he and I both talk to strange and weird people. Like Will does with Ozymandias which is a weird person in White Mountains.

Will is also like me because I to have a desire to want to know questions all the time. Like when Will is asking questions about the capping ceromony, so was I when I was reading it. And one other way Will is like me is we think very similarly. For example, when I was reading I was woundering the same questions about Ozymandias when Will first met him. The last way that Will and I are the same is that for sure I don't want to be capped. I would rather die then be capped. Oh for people that have not read the book White Mountains, when you get capped it is when the Tripods take you when you are fourteen and they put this metal cap on your head and it makes you not think for yourself. So pretty much, the Tripods control you from there on so Capping Day is like your last day of freedom ever... unless you escape to the White Mountains. But I can't tell you that part yet.

Thanks for reading this blogpost. I hope you enjoyed it.
