The Giver by: Lois Lowry

Genre: Science Fiction

I got the idea of using drawings to reflect on scenes from the book from Dr. Wiseman's class. I found the website "art.com" that allows you to draw on a digital canvas. You can use different brush sizes that range from a pencil to a wide paint brush. In addition, you can choose a frame for your masterpiece and hang it in a digital gallery. I chose to draw a scene from "The Giver" that I felt to be the pivotal moment in the novel. Jonas sees his father murder a child and realizes that when people are "released" it actually means they are killed. He also realizes that members of his community are capable of lying, an action that has been forbidden to him since he was a child. 
*In the following drawings "shoot" should be spelled as "chute"*
