Homework
Q:What is Censorship?
A: Censorship is when people block out stuff that people don't want other people to see!!!!
Q:Why do you think music is censored?
A: I think music is censored because they don't want us to see or hear inappropriate things for example racism, cursing, or things related to having babies!!!
Q:Should music be uncensored?
A: YES I think music should be uncensored because people want to talk about life and that makes them get their point across so people can better understand!!! People have the freedom to say whatever they want so if they were going to censor it there is NO point on making the song!!!!

Colors By: Maikel
I don't think that color is important because everyone are people. You should not judge anyone by there skin tone. You should not want to treat someone wrong because of there skin that is just WRONG!
It helps me see better because I wold not like anyone to judge me so I will not judge them. If they are any color of the rainbow. I still would not judge them because every person is UNIQUE in there own way!
From Jonas perspective colors are everywhere he is now on the color red. He sees Fiona with red hair. The Giver is telling him that it will happen to him. Jonas had an experience with the apple, Fiona, and the people in the auditorium.

Wonderful, Gleaming Colors By: N'Deayah
Color helps me perceive the world because it's exciting and it makes you think of happy places. Bright colors surrounding me I LOVE IT!! Dark colors is like a dark place for example Dark Valleys!!
Color means something!! They express their feelings. You can use colors for anything. You can even use colors to express what you are feeling. Like red means angry/mad and blue means sad. You might not know what some might mean but it's still fun to use. Sometimes colors represent YOU!!!
What I read in the chapter was that Jonas was experiencing a lot of colors he loved seeing the bright and dark colors the memories that The Giver was giving him might have been shocking and painful sometimes but he finally experienced it I think what he means in the story is that black is white all the time is boring and colors bring me happiness!!!

Uniqueness :]
Uniqueness: being the only one of it's kind!!!
List ways that WMSG encourages those behaviors!!
The behavior that encourages WMSG is nice, mean, negative attitude, positive attitude, etc. WMSG represents positive attitude and more but some of us students don't show that we are all in our bad or moody moods but we don't need to show it and that's how people are unique in WMSG because we have our own moods each day we come to school!!!

2 Paragraphs on Sameness and Uniqueness!!!!!
How we are affected by SAMENESS is that sometimes people say they are unique all the way but really sometimes we have a lot of things in common but not necessarily everything but sometimes we really do!!!
Who controls our Sameness is you and that person because it's about your personality and the other's person's personality!!!! And SAMENESS is like a condition of being the same!!!
How we are affected by UNIQUENESS is that all of us are unique in some kind of way we might have some things in common but we are still unique!!! And some people don't want to be unique they want to be like everybody else because they maybe don't like something about their selves but they should because God made each and every one of us and we will not all be the same!!!! And the same as what we said in sameness it's about your personality to have UNIQUENESS!!!! And UNIQUENESS is like one of a kind foe example their is only 1 you!!! Ypur face is different form everybody elses!!!!!

Sameness :]
Sameness: The quality or condition of being the same!!!
List the ways that WMSG encourages those behaviors.
WMSG encourages those behaviors with sameness because we all have the same attitudes well most of us!!! Our attitude is like it's SAMENESS everyday!!!

"The Giver" 11/10/11 Thursday
What we read about is that this boy named Caleb had got lost a long time ago and fell in the river and that's when they had a Ceremony for the Loss ones but the community was ery strick about losing a child and so when they were at the Ceremony of the Loss ones they would say Caleb's name High then get Lower with their voices. But they also replaced the old Caleb with a new Caleb and when they got the new Calebthey said his name from Low to High with excitement because they forgot about the other Caleb after the Ceremony of the Loss ones. And we read something else about the differences of Loss ones and Released ones we learned that this boy named Roberto got released and they said it's HUGE diffrence between release and loss because when their released they dont get to have a ceremony.
Language Arts Class!
It is important that people has names because some people can be born on the same day, same month, and same time. they should also have names because there name makes them UNIQUE! Whatever it means it can describes the persons personality.

"The Giver"
What happened so far from what we were reading is that Jonas had crush on this girl that's in the Elevens Group and her name is Fiona and Jonas is always feeling down because she's a very nice girl, she's fun, and quiet but she's always with Asher and not him and from our perspective we think she has some feelings for him too but he just has to be friendly and kind and hang out with her more then he will discover the real her and what her feelings are for him. pg.30
Reflections
We have a connection from The Giver because on Hunger Games they have 12 years old if they are getting out in or as they say released.
The book The Giver is very interesting and one of a kind.
