Full Circle After you read Question 6 p.187

6. I think the most successful part of this story is how she foreshadowed the result and also how the story ends. i think the result that the murderer died at the same spot he killed Caroline was kind of impossible. I want to know what motivates Terry to kill Caroline, and why is it that he is also the brother of Caroline's roommate.

I think the pressure to be the same comes from personal desires. Maybe someone wants to be like someone, a lot of us do. We sometime wish to be the same as others. But if one have enough self-confident, then he or she won't have any pressure. I think they really prefer to act on their own. Everyone has their own personality, and appearance and this is what makes this world a fun place to be in. If everyone is the same it would be boring. Sometimes people wish to be someone els, but when you really try it, you won't like it. So I prefer being different than the same.

A friends is who is happy when you are happy, comfort you when you are sad, and accompany you when you are alone. Some friendships last longer because maybe they have more common areas, or they substitute the personality they don't have. For example, I may be very outgoing and loud, while my friend-Candy- is very shy and quiet. Friends are the ones that cares about you other than your family. They can also be closer than your family.

"I shall help you or I shall die of God's hands because I didn't help you." The man's words were pious. The woman stared at him. "I just want a reconciliation here" The woman was silent. "So do you acquiesced with me?" The woman finally said something after a long silence, "Okay, you can help me push this box of gold up the hill to my house next to the river.

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.
