Imagine a world with no color. A dull, lifeless place. With no originality, no novelty, no fun. Everything would be the same; plain. So what would cause one to extinguish such a wonderful asset to human life? And how would these changes affect the growth and development of the minds of all the people in the world?
In the book The Giver just that happens. A law is made that bans all colors within the community of which these people live. This is because of a different rule in the Community called Sameness. The thoughts behind the council who created this lifestyle were simple, if everyone were the same, there would be no anger, jealousy, or hurt. Colors may indeed cause confliction, yet they also build confidence and originality.
The Civil War. That is one example of a time where color was an asset to the start of a fight. If there weren’t colors, this war would have never started. Everyone would have the same color of skin, and no one would be different.
But, taking away color would take away the fun. Research has proven that kids become more interested in anything when there is color involved. It helps make things more enjoyable and fun to look at.
Personally, I would not like it, if color was taken away. What do you think?
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI really liked yo r writing piece. I like how it was short, sweet, and to the point. You were explaining things without going to far into depth, making the reader not lose interest. However, I think that you should maybe try to make the conclusion a little longer. That would help wrap everything up in the essay! Overall, I really liked your piece!:)
