In the “Utopia” where Jonas lives, there is what is known as Sameness. This Sameness, makes everything the same. It takes away color, hills, or any choices whatsoever. There are many advantages to this, but there are also disadvantages. Some of the advantages would be that you wouldn’t be able to make bad choices, because there are no choices. There would also be the fact that you wouldn’t be able to judge anyone on something, because are the same as him. There are also the disadvantages in where there are no choices, so how could they have enjoyment. There is also that you wouldn’t have anything to be surprised by, because since everything is the same, you will know what comes in the future.

Sorry
Sorry that I haven’t blogged in a while. I had to get my computer re-imaged, and it was at school for all this time. During the down-time here’s what’s happened. I have won a lacrosse tournament in Chicago, i went to the best concert ever, (O.A.R.) and I ran lights for the play Charlottes Web.
Reading
In school, we have to read 1,000 pages forthe nine weeks, and then we have to write about them. For this nine weeks, we had to blog our 1,000 pages, so here it goes
First, I had 150 pages that carried over from the last nine weeks
I read The Battle of the Red Hot Pepper Weenies by David Lubar, and that was 195 pages. This was a book that was a book of many short stories that are weird and demented, and sometimes scary.
I read The Year of Living Biblicaly by AJ Jacobs, and that was 401pages. This was a book that was about a guy who is living in New York City, and lives the bible for a year. That puts me at 746 pages.
The Know It All by AJ Jacobs is my final book, it was 406 pages. This book was about a man who tries to read the whole encyclopedia Britannica
