2024 No.5 《Gathering Blue》
作者：Lois Lowry
藍思指數(shù)：680L
《Gathering Blue》是the giver quartet四部曲的第二本，但是跟第一本內容上并沒有關聯(lián)。
四部分別是《The Giver》《Gathering Blue》《Messenger》《Son》（中文：記憶傳授人暇唾，歷史刺繡人哼审，森林送信人，兒子）
《Gathering Blue》設定的背景是一個與現(xiàn)實世界相似但是又很原始狀態(tài)的社會樊销，主人公Kira生來腿有殘疾侨拦，在她的媽媽去世以后稠通，她因為自己獨特的天賦被統(tǒng)治者選為刺繡人。這期間他認識了木匠Thomas 和傳唱者Jo以及能為人帶來歡樂的Matt殖妇。通過Kira的視角揭露了統(tǒng)治者的陰謀刁笙。情節(jié)并不復雜，基本上都能預料到事情的走向，結尾同樣是開放式的疲吸。整體給我的感覺比較平淡座每。但讀起來比《Number the Stars》累，雖然藍思指數(shù)差不多摘悴，因為涉及到刺繡和木工的一些詞匯峭梳，而且Matt在里面是一個沒有接受過教育的小男孩，他的語言感覺不太正規(guī)蹂喻。
摘抄幾個讀的過程中劃下來的句子：
1,
Pain makes you strong, her mother had told her. She had not said quiet, or nice.
2葱椭，Outside, it was stormy. Wind shook the trees and blew a sheet of heavy rain against the building
3，Great sheets of rain spattered against the window, distracting her. Kira sighed and watched the trees bend and sway in the wind. Thunder muttered in the distance.
4口四，The days, busy ones, tiring ones, began to pass. 想到日月如梭
5挫以，The woman's hands were gnarled and stained. She lifted one in greeting. She had few teeth and her skin was folded into wrinkles, but her eyes were unclouded.
