Book circle "Hunger"

HUNGER

Creative connector

I have nothing in common with the text. I have had a good childhood, good parents, it’s always food in the fridge and I have never hit someone on purpose. But I have heard and read about things that is quite similar with the text. I have been hungry but that is something that everyone has been sometime. I think that the text means that the father died and my gandfather died a few years ago so I know how the mother felt.

LÄSLOGG 2 - OM MEDICINEN - LÅNGT LIV

Lång liv är namnet på en speciell medicin som forskaren Mr Fern har kommit på genom cellforskning. Den kan bota tex Aids och andra sjukdomar men den utvecklades och nu kan den även stoppa åldrandet. Mr Fern provade medicinen på sig själv och märkte hur den fungerade. Men han sa inget till någon för ens senare. Det bestämdes först att man bara fick använda den till att bota sjukdomar  men efter ett tag när den hade utvecklats så tog premiärministern medicinen till domstolen och det bestämdes att  man fick använda den privat. Eftersom medicinen var dyr så hade alla länder inte råd med den så det kom många terrorister till England och stal medicinen. Så priset sänktes så att alla länderna kunde ha råd och terroristerna slutade att komma. Människorna fick välja mellan att ta medicinen och stoppa sitt åldrande eller skaffa ett barn. Det som var viktigast i det här kapitlet var i slutet när Peter kom till Grange hall och till en av lektionerna och fick sätta sig bredvid Anna. Då sa han
-Du är Anna Cavvy eller hur?
- Jag känner dina föräldrar.

LÄSLOGG 1 "Oönskad" Om Anna och framtiden

Berättelsen utspelar sig i England på 2140 - Talet.
Anna är huvudpersonen, hon är 15 år och går på Grange hall i England och är en av de oönskade. Hon kom dit när hon var 2 och ett halvt år. Mrs Pincet eller Margret Pincet är husfrun/föreståndare och bestämmer därför allting. Grange hall är ett barnhem för "oönskade", de är dem som inte var skulle finnas. Barnhemmet rymmer 500 barn och är till för att uppfostra oönskade till slavar eller hjälpredor åt de önskade. På 2014 - Talet har forskarna har kommit på en medicin som gör att man lever för evigt eller i alla fall förlänger livet. Eftersom de vuxna lever längre får man inte skaffa barn för de behövs inte, om alla skulle skaffa barn så skulle jorden bli överbefolkad. Barnen blir alltså oönskade. På Grange hall  finns det olika sorters grupper av barn, Det finns småttingar som är 0-5 år, medelstor 6-11 år och de blivande som är ---- år. Enligt Anna så känns det som att hon är lite exta o önskad av mrs pincet, men det säger hon självklart inte till någon. Det sista som hände i det första kapitlet var att det kom en ny oönskad till  Grange hall, Peter. De andra på barnhemmet gillar inte när det kommer dit fler, det drar bara upp en massa hemska minnen från deras förflutna.

ENDING "We know where you live"

Next day in school Emma was scared. She didn't talk to anyone during the whole day. Emma wanted to know who sent the horrible messages. She went out and started to go home. 

Her phone vibrated in her pocket, it was a message...

Emma took her phone up and read the message.

"I see you"

- What do you want?! Emma shouted 

She turned around, looked everywhere  but didn't see anyone. Terrified Emma went home.

Emma sat on her bed and was looking at her phone. From no where she took it up and looked after the messages. Maybe she could answer the person.. 

"I don't know who you are, but I just want to know why you are so angry with me so you write that awful messages. Can we meet? " 

Emma was not sure about "can we meet?" but she sent it. 

It felt like she had been waiting for hours and  Emma was really tired on waiting, but now her phone vibrated. Emma took her phone up and opened the message. It was from "the" person.

"CAN WE MEET?!!, does it look like I want to meet you?

Emmas fear had disappeared, now she was really annoyed instead, she answered 

"No, but I still want to know why you are angry with me..

"When you hurt my friends you hurt me! Do NOT answer!"

Emma just starred at her phone. 

Next day when Emma went to school she found Simons old phone lying in the bushes. She put it in her bag and went to school. After school would emma call her mom and ask if she would buy something on the way home. Her mom sent a list of what Emma would shop.

"Buy: tomatoes,potatoes,chicken and cheese. Thank you honey!" 

Emma skickade "okay" tillbaka men råkade skicka det till "the" person! She become a bit nervous but the weird thing is that it said "pling" in the back of her bag. Emma took up Simons phone and looked at the new message.

"okay"

 Emma could not believe it, it was Siomon! But no it could not be him. Then Emma remembered, Simon had given his old mobile to his and Rachel's friend .. Jacob! It was Jacob that sent all those messages. Emma still had Jacobs number and she called it.

"Hello, it´s Jacob"

"Hi Jacob, it´s Emma"

"What do you want?"

"Nothing, I just want to tell you that I know that it was you that sent the messages. Don´t hung up! 
"Okay, okay.. It was me"
"But why?"
"WHY? You hurt both Simon and Rachel and me to"
"I know, and I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm suppose to do. Simon and Rachel refuse to answer  and you.."
"Yeah I'm sorry to, for the messages. I thought that if I hurt you so you would know what it feels like."
"It's okay, I understand. Friends?"
"Friends"
"But can you help me with Simon and Rachel?"
"yeah"
"Thank you! Bye"
"Bye"

All of them all became friends again and talked to each other when something was wrong.

Mark was early to their date. He came almost 10 minutes early than they had decided. There did she come, she was more beautiful than ever. Her dance clothes was perfect for her and Marks legs became weak. When they have said hello they went in to the bar.

Both of them wanted a table by the window so they took the table for two. 

Mark was very excited, he took the cheer out for her and they took a seat. 

When the server came Jessica said that she wanted orange juice and Mark wanted a banana smoothie.

They started to talk, first about her dance lessons and then the conversation just continued. 

Jessica looked at the clock and said that she had to go. Mark said that he could pay for the drinks.

They went out and she gave Mark a hug and he got more exited than ever. She turned around and walked away. Mark was very happy, the date had gone really well. Next time they meet it will go even better.
