Full Circle Quickwrite
I didn't really read any mystery story or movie before, but if The Giver counts, that is one really good book. In this book, people lived in utopia, society that people are all equal. The government assigns who you are going to get married with, which job is suit for you, and who is your child. It also assigns what people wear and whether they can live or die. They can't see any colors. A boy named Jonas lived in this society for all for lives, he don't see how its harmful. When he was the age for him to be assigned a job, he was assigned to be "Receiver of Memory". Everyone was shocked since this job was giver rarely and only to the smart and good kids. Everyone was cheering for Jonas, but no one knows what this job is really about until Jonas step into the special building. His job is to receive memories from the past, which is the world we have now. His job is to have these memories so when the governors have any problems about this society, they can ask his advice. Of course there are good and fun memories, but there are also sad and harmful ones. Now Jonas can see the colors, he can see the sunshine, but he can also see what his society does to the people. And he finally realized that this society will not benefit the people but harm the people. Jonas decided that he will run away with the memories so the people there can have the memories back to them.
