Harmony

The cascade's essence as pure as a virgin.

 The breeze a delicate flower. 

Humid, Happy, Hopeful, Holy Harmony.

 

Curiosity

"What would happen if the Earth really came to an end? How can I protect my daughter in order for her to suffer the least amount possible throughout her life? What if there was an active shooter on campus where my daughter attends school?" These are only a sample of questions I constantly ask myself. I have a tendency to imagine an array of worst case scenarios and try to find a solution.

I have always been very fearful of the unknown, but my parents have consistently bestowed upon me bravery, independence, and curiosity. Curiosity has grown with me the most throughout my childhood, adolescence, and now adulthood. Allowing myself to ask questions, regardless of how dumb they may sound, has opened many doors for me, and has prepared me for the unknown.

5 Looks on the Book:

The Giver

Oblivious: The individual's that make up Jonas' community are unaware of the amount of control the authoritative figures have acquired over them all. It's as if the members of the community are pieces to a board game in which the authoritative figures do as they please. 

Serene: Because everyone in Jonas' community is stripped of any sense of individualism there is no threat of rebellion upon them, thus keeping the community tranquil.

Obedient: Everyone living within Jonas' community abides by the strict values of their culture and their norms. There is never any question as to why something is. It simply is. 

Passive: The authoritative figures within Jonas' community have control over what emotions an individual might feel, if any, thus diminishing any chance of uniqueness. Everyone performs quietly as passive members of the community.

Dictatorship: The leading members of Jonas' community execute absolute power and control by sharing the duty at hand. The most minimal and intricate decisions lay in the hands of these citizens.

Optimist
