Thinking About... The Giver Movie!


So... big news! They are making a movie from the book The Giver, by Lois Lowry! I am so excited! All of you should read The Giver, it is one of my favorite books, it is very entertaining and intriguing!

Here is the book description from Barnes and Noble:

Overview

Soon to be a major motion picture, The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind' his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

Given his lifetime assignment at the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas becomes the receiver of memories shared by only one other in his community and discovers the terrible truth about the society in which he lives.



 
I haven't read Gathering Blue, Messenger, or Son, yet, but I plan to.



Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) and the baby is probably Gabe.

Thinking About... Innovative Desks


I'm in the market for desks at the moment, and ran across these online. I thought they were very interesting and creative! Although probably nothing I could ever get:). There are also two benches that I thought were neat.



 
This looks so cool! Like in the office of a superhero.
 
 
 
 

 
A lamp, window, shelves, bag and hat hook. What else would you need? :)
 
 
 
 
 

 
Han Solo! This would be great for any Star Wars fan (including me)!
 
 
 
 

 
Get exercise and write at the same time!






 
It's like a tent for your desk!
 
 
 
 

 
This is such a interesting bench! It would be so cool to have in your backyard next to a pool!
 
 
 
 

 
This is neat too! I wonder if it would be comfortable? 
 
 
 
 
 


I like this desk! Imagine having this in your room!  








 
Look at all of those shelves! You could store tons of things!

Thanks for visiting! Don't forget to follow, and have a great day!
