Prompt: Draw what you just read.
I drew one of the scenes that really jumped out at me and that was when Jonas was doing whatever and anything he could to save Gabriel's life. He gave good memories to Gabriel so he could be calm. He transmitted memories of sunshine and warmth so he wouldn't freeze do death. I found this part of the book very emotional and heart felt because to me, it showed how even though they may not be related by birthmothers, they have a special connection and Jonas really cares about Gabriel, and thinks that Gabriel has a future ahead of him.
In my drawing I also showed when Jonas could hear the music of Elsewhere. For me, Jonas hearing Elsewhere was a big plot twist because of how the story was going, I thought that Jonas would never find Elsewhere. I drew Jonas's face both surprised and sad to represent both elements I tried to put in; when he is trying to save Gabriel, and when he hears the music of Elsewhere. I heard many of my classmates say that they thought that hearing the music was just Jonas's imagination, I honestly have no clue as to if it is real or not. To me, I think that it is partially his imagination, telling him that there is hope, and I also feel like the hope is telling him to keep on moving forward because Elsewhere is actually ahead.
Yes! Always first for some reason! Only 8 minutes ago. I like the drawing, very nice use of the musicle notes at the angles that they are. Your last paragraph is very inspirational, Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you discussed how Jonas did a lot to keep Gabe safe and calm it really says a lot about Jonas. Nice Picture! and great blog post!
ReplyDeleteI really like the fact that you choose that specific part in the book to draw. I feel that that part in book contains a lot of emotion in a way that is very hard to replicate. I also have to agree with the fact that hearing the music was a fantastic twist in the story.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture because it shows how jonas sort of hear's Music at the end and how he is holding Gabe with dear life.
ReplyDeleteGood picture. I like that part of the book too. The only thing is why is Jonas smiling if they are about to die?
ReplyDeleteI really loved this part of the book, too. It was at this part of the book when I realized how much Jonas really loved Gabe. Jonas finding Elsewhere was super big in the story! To be honest I thought people were going to find him before he could get that far. Great drawing and blog!
