How Does "The Giver" End !?

In Language Arts, we've read a book. The book is called, "The Giver". The society of this book is different than outside world, they don't have color or music, not even love! Jonas, the main character, was appointed a job called the receiver. His job was to receive memories from the giver. Which Jonas had learned colors, music, and love from the memories. He wants to change his society to have those elements but he know he is too powerless, which he decided to leave with Gabriel, a boy if Jonas doesn't take him, he will get killed, to find "elsewhere". In the almost end of this book, Jonas and a little boy with him called Gabriel have left their peaceful community to find elsewhere. On the road to elsewhere, they've faced lots of challenges like rainy whether, being in a desert having no water, and snowy whether. When they feel very very cold, they think they've heard about music, but maybe it was just an echo......... That was the end of the giver...no copying no copying no copying no copying no copying no copying no copying no copying
From my point of view, I think Jonas is dead also does Gabriel. I think they are dead at the end because even though they think they’ve heard music and see the family celebrating love. It’s because when people are almost dead, they have their “sudden dream come true” feelings. That’s why Jonas visualized his dream. So the music and the actions are not necessary true. Also the author ends the story in “maybe it’s just an echo”. Which the author is telling that they are dead but before they are dead, they see their dream world. no copying no copying no copying no copying no copying

For my engagement grade, I would like to get:don't copy don't copy

2 points
for my community contributor. In physic class, I answered people's questions when some of my classmates didn't know which formulas to use, or didn't know what to do next to answer some homework questions. For the challenge problem, some of the classmates asked me questions too! Sometimes I didn't answer them for the first time because sometimes I'm still busying on something else but at the end, I usually will answer. If you want to know more, during the choice period (mine is computer graphics), I helped people to find, prepare, and download at home the programs they want and then use USB to give the programs to them. So they can do something else at home such as looking at the teaching pages for the program instead of finding those programs. When they don't know how to use a program, same, I will tell them what to do and help them so I can make sure they are good with their assignments. In math, I helped people too, if they don't know how to do a question, I will help them to do it. If they forget the formula, I will tell them. I think I should get 2 points for community contributor.don't copy don't copy

2 points for my critical thinker/problem solver. In school, we always need critical thinking skill and problem solving skill in order to finish our work quickly and without getting lots of errors. I think I've done it a lot in my math class, I usually do the problems fast enough and I usually don't have any mistakes on the problems. Sometimes, I think a lot on things, I always think about what is the consequence if I do this thing, and if it's acceptable, I will then do it instead of having difficulties afterward on "what am I going to do now?". Most of the time when I'm talking to people, I think about the words I say and try not to make people angry, try to do my best on everything and don't give up, I think I should get 2 points for my critical thinker/problem solver.don't copy don't copy

1.5 points for my active learner. I always want to finish things quickly, but how to finish things quickly but also make the teacher happy? To make teachers happy, you need to make your work like you put a lot of time in it. So, if you want to do it fast and try to act like you put a lot of time in it, you need to find the shortest way of getting lots of details. The first thing is, you need to learn by yourself on the internet or books. When doing a question, go to a internet search and search for answers, after you get an answer, it's not over yet, you have to know why is "the answer" the answer, and find if the website is credible. Those 2 steps at the back doesn't take you long time to do but a teacher might think you put a lot of time in it(these are my opinion). That's the lazy way though to me, because I'm lazy sometimes, I would like to get 1.5 point for my active learner.don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy
2 points for my person of high charater. I always turn in my homework on time, even it's an on-going assignment, I will still turn in the first time, if it isn't a blue, I will try my best to fix it and get a blue. I don't say bad words to people not because I tell myself not to, it's because I just don't use those words even there's no one around me, you can ask my friend, they will proof that. I tried my best on liking everything and do them, but sometimes I failed but I'm happy that I tried. I don't feel upset "for too long" when I failed. I will gain my happiness again and bring people happiness. I follow the rules, if you tell me not to eat candy during school, I will not eat them. I think I should get 2 points for my person of high character.don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy
1.5 points for my effective communicator. Usually I don't talk much, but why do I think I should still get 1.5 point? I think I'm that kind of people that don't talk much, but when that kind of people talk, they go to the point automatically without wasting anyone's time. I usually talk shortly but my point is very very clear. Like when I was helping people, I usually use one sentence and they will understand what's my point and they will know what to do next. For more complicated things, I need to talk more but not as much as some other people who don't know how to communicate or talking non-senses all over. Well, if I'm so good at it, why do I only want 1.5 point? Because my English skills are not good as other people, people sometimes don't understand my grammar. If this engagement thing is in Chinese, I'm fully confident about getting a 2^^. Therefor, I would like to get 1.5 point for my English effective communicator.don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy don't copy
