Free Writing


Okay here is your first official assignment on the blog that will be graded. It is a free write and is worth 10 points. (just like we do them in class) The catch with this one is that you will have one week to do it. It will be due next Tuesday, October 7th. A good trick is to type it in a word document and then paste it over to your blog. Don't post your response until you are done. You can save it as a draft until you are finished. If you don't have Internet at home come see me at some point today. You also have to have at least 300 words (This post right here is about 100 words) I expect most of you to exceed this amount. Good luck! Comment on this post if you have any problems.Topic: Sameness and Difference. What is good about it? What is bad about it? What could be changed? Use what you know about our society and Jonas' society to write your entry.You might want to split it up into a few paragraphs. Watch typos!!!



Sameness:
Sameness has some pros and cons. Some good things about sameness are that there would be less bullying in the world because everyone would where the same clothes, same hair color, and everything else the same that people get bullied for. Another good thing about sameness is that there would be no war because everything and everyone would be the same. There will be no hatred against people with a different race because everyone is the same. Some cons about sameness would be that everything would be so boring because there would be no color or feelings like in the Giver. People would miss out on a lot of good things in life like: trees changing colors in the fall, thunder and lightening storms, and many other things.


Difference:
Difference has some pros and cons too but in my opinion difference is better than sameness. Difference is better than sameness because there would be many different colors, many different feelings or emotions, and many different styles. With difference people can express themselves and be who they want to be. Some bad things about difference is that some people could get bullied about what they are wearing or what they look like because everyone would be different.

Brooke, +8.5 You have the start of some really good ideas but keep expanding. You say the same thing over and over. Watch repeating yourself.
