 A close friend of mine is a really good actress and singer. She loves to sing and act, and she was recently in the school play. She has been in many other plays and goes to a camp at The Fox Theatre. If we lived in the same world as the people in //The Giver//, and would have to be assigned a job, the role that I would assign my friend would be an actress. She would perform in plays that would be musicals so she could sing and act. She is so good and would be perfect for this role. The Elders in the book look over carefully what the people are good at, their interests, personality and their talents. They would know that singing and acting are her hobbies, and she’s really good at them. She is also extremely funny, which helps with the acting. She would be really good for this job. She can sing in any octave, and can hit all notes, high or low. She can play any part, a witch, a little kid, an old lady, or someone with a really good sense of humor. Which ever part they put her in she would give it her all. I know from experience that she is a very good at learning quickly. If you teach her something she will learn it really easily. Also, if you want her attention she will give it to you easily. She is really helpful, so if during the plays someone forgets a line or something happens, she will be ready and help make the mistake look like it was meant to be. If I could assign myself a job I would also make myself an actress. I love to act and sing. Everyone knows that I sing in the halls, during class, at home, and everywhere else. I’ve been in the two school plays and I went to Drama Camp for 4 years and was in all those plays. I love to sing and if I listen to a song, it will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. The Elders could see that it would be a good job, and I would love it. It’s so fun to sing and act and it would be even more fun to sing and act in the same play as my friend!
