- ... away. No one ever breaks bones or anything. There are no criminals, and there are no locks on any homes or buildings. Another good thing is that everyone knows who everyone else is and it’s a very small community with only a few hundred people. There are hardly ever any visitors from outside the community. Sometimes kids from other communities go play with the kids in the book’s community. All the people are provided with homes, jobs, and food. A bad thing about the giver’s community is release. When a person breaks a major rule, is too old, or isn’t right as a baby they get released. Release is killing. In the book there are twins and the ...

- 4819: Carburetion Versus Fuel Injection
- ... and even create new ones within cyberspace. Yet, we do not forget the past. Even today in this technological empire we have created, I still hear the nostalgic words from my father: They sure don t make them like they used to. And in many cases, he is correct. Together, my father and I are in a process of restoring a 1968 Chevy Camaro. Many times we have discussed the controversy of whether or not the 350 cubic inch engine should be equipped with today s computerized electronic fuel injection system or the traditional carbureted system. I argue with my father that today's E.F.I (Electronic Fuel Injection) system is the wave of the future and the only way to go, but the old man continually reminds me of the way things used to be when ...

- ... sections told from Grace Marks' point of view as well as that of an omniscient narrator, this blend of fact and fiction is pieced together like a quilt (a deliberate metaphor established from the novel's divisions or chapters, each named for a particular pattern of quilting). The events leading up to the murders are revealed through narrative, letters, newspaper accounts, excerpts from Susanna Moodie's journal, notes by doctors and wardens and poems by Robert Browning, Emily Dickinson, and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Atwood maintains an ironic distance that manages simultaneously to reveal the character of Grace in her own words ... these forces and becomes the focus of a nation, embodying the projections of the age-old paradox of woman as either Nurturer or Sorcerer. Atwood provides no easy alliances; the deeper she delves into Grace's story, the less the reader's convictions as to innocence or guilt can be formed. She provides the perfect agent for the provocation of Grace's story in the enthusiastic but hopelessly naive young ...
