Son

• Does the title fit the story? Why or why not?

Pages- 1-45

I do think that the title fits with the story  because one, The main character starts off as a birthmother but after a mess up with the first birth, she is suspended and sent to work with the fish. Secondly, the main character "Clair" is looking and trying to find information about the baby she gave birth to which was a boy.

Let me go more in depth. When we start off in the book, Clair is talking to other birthmother about the first birth. When the time finally comes, Clairs first birth encounter a mess up and is sent away. This matches the title because the only way to have a child is to give birth. Clair gives birth to a boy and does not want to leave hime. Her son is what she wants and that is why it matches the story.

Lastly, The story matches the title of Son because Clairs birth product is a boy. She knows it is a boy because when Clair is called down to the office and told that she is being stripped of birthmother, Clair asks, "What about my birth product?" The head elder of the birth mother announces that he is fine. Although she is not happy she said the gender, Clair knows that her child was her son.

POE week of 12/8/13

prompt:List the reasons why another person should or should not read this.
p.g.1-5


     One reason why this book should be read is because of the history it gives you about Poe in the first couple pages. In the book, it reveals that his wife has died and he can see if someone has died in a certain room and can physically see it. This is the very beginning of the book, so this is a handful of information that won't reveal everything and make you annoyed that you know everything about hi life in one page. I was also pretty shocked by that and that is another reason that I think other should read this book.

       The second reason why I think that people should read POE is because of the suspense  In the third page, Poe and his brother are at a crime scene of a murder. Poe claims that the officers have looked over the man but not observed the man in a sense that the key detail like what he was wearing, or papers in pockets, or anything that can point out his residence,job,or any family. This is what draws you into this book. How Poe notices the tiniest of things make's you kind of smirk saying "Show off".

The last reason that you should read this book is because of the state Poe is in. In the book, it states that Poe is ill. Ill in the mind. He see's things that aren't true or have passed. People think that he is imagining but he is in a way see the past in a flashback. This may confuse a reader with a medical disease but Poe is special. These three reasons is why I think that every single personPOE
 in the world should read

I cant believe this is happening. How can he do such a cruel thing? How can my father, who probably doesn't even love me , kill an innocent little baby because it looks just like his or her brother?! I don't know who he is anymore. The only person I can trust is The Giver. He tells me the truth. He knows the in's and out of this place. This place has to change! It has to! Me and the Giver have thought of a plan. I will change the society I will.

     They have never experienced true pain, suffrage,loss,love,hurt! They have never had to feel the need for food. That's because they don't know the truth. I will leave the community tomorrow  But I will not go see the Giver as planned. I will take my Fathers bike, and Gabriel, who my father claims will be released. I will leave. I can't stand it here anymore I can't!

It seems like the day is purposely dragging on. I passed by the recreation center to talk to Asher for the last tme ever and I passed byt the school house. I saw a little girl getting a "smack" today. This is exactly what we have to change. Smacking kids because they slur or stutter a word? Then I went to the house of the old. I requested to see Fiona. They did not hesitate. They let me into a room where Fiona was in the middle of speaking for one of the old who were getting released. She saw me, and then it happened. Her hair, iit had changed again. But when I saw her again it was gone. I asked her how her day was going an dshe said it was great!. She told me she got to see a release happen and it was amazing. How the caretakees were so kind. So mellow. I was disgusted. I almost blew up on her. I wanted to scream " How could you say that!!!!!!!! Iwe kill babies if they ahve problems or ook the same as his/her sibling? We kill the old if they get to old to do things for theselves It's SICK!!!!!" I left angry,upset, but mostly hert broken. I knew that I will never ever see Asher,Fiona,The Giver, or Lilly EVER AGAIN".
