The Giver

Again, I know it may be a little late but I thought my blog readers want to see my Giver Response.

It is true that The Giver is a very hard novel to turn into a theatrical performance. There were many scene that truly are very hard. One scene in particular would be the apple scene. In the play they are pretending to throwing a fake apple across the stage. Then when Jonas was just about to catch the apple he sees something and the fake, imaginative apple falls down and turn into imaginative apple sauce. That was really cheesy. Personally it would have been much better if they used a projector. The projector would help enhance the moment because it could actually project the apple turning into the apple sauce or a matter of fact the color red. He other thing that made the play confusing was the changing of character. The one person that really confused me was the red headed girl who was Lily and Fiona. You almost never knew if she was Lily or Fiona. All they needed to do was get another person to act as Fiona and it would have been fine. In conclusion, if they used more item or props during play or even used more people the play would have been stupendous.
