Lol <333

How could I not? I've never met anyone that doesn't like The Outsiders, lol.

Did you know... I wrote that 4000 word essay I mentioned before that I needed for my diploma as a comparative essay on The Giver and 1984? :)

Seriously?
That is AWESOME!

Have you read the rest of the books that are in the 'series that isn't really a series but could be if you want it to be'? Gathering Blue, and Messanger? I've only read GB, and I adore it sfm. I have Messanger though (actually, I have all 3), I just haven't gotten to read it, yet.

xD Yep. It was interesting, but the whole "work" part of it made me be lazy about it. Lol.

No. DX I always think about reading them, but then I turn back around cause I think it would ruin the ending of The Giver... I guess the whole point of the ending was the ambiguous positivity and a concrete future would just.. change it! D: -is weird-

Have you ever read the other book by Lois Lowry(well I can't remember the name but it's) about a Jewish girl who stays with a non-Jewish family during WWII, and they have to run away? I used to love that book when I was younger.
