Like Life
Literature is a lot like life. The stories we read in class are not only for learning how to pass the exam or for learning a language. The experiences characters have are experiences that are similar to the ones you have in life.
Although The Giver is fictional, there are many things that are similar to what we experience. There is so much more than language and vocabulary that we can learn from reading. I read sometimes so that I can learn about experiences I know I will never have. It teaches me how to react if something like the story happens in my life.
It is not that I am all of a sudden going to be in Jonas' world but that experiences he has are parallel to ones in the real world and that I can also learn from what he does, not only what I do or what my friends do.
Do you find this to be true?
