The Beast By: Walter Dean Myers
I haven't got that far in the book but it is about a kid going to school away from his family and girlfriend.
I need to read a little bit more to determine my opinion.

Blog 15
The world is the best part. Their own words that have different meanings from what they do in our world. I like how they call children by their age so if they are eight years old they are referred to as eights if they are in a group and an eight alone. I also like the whole concept of release. In reality it is murder but no one understands what killing is so they unknowingly kill people and the community is none the wiser.
In Lockdown, the best part was seeing the main character, Reese, grow as a character. Reese is a smart person but has just made stupid choices. In the beginning of the book, he was just staying out of trouble but didn't have a strong relationship with anyone in progress. Towards the end he had became friends with an old man at a hospital he worked at and with officers at progress. He doesn't know it but that is a big advantage. I can also relate to him.
I think the part where Jonas was angry because he saw what release meant was annoying and out of character for Jonas. He was kind of mocking the giver's assistant in a way I perceived as annoying and childish for such a mature and intelligent character.
The only thing that annoys me about lockdown is this one character named toon. He is so irritating. He is weak and always getting beat up but Reese tries to save him. I don't like how him and Reese are friends. He even tried to kill himself once because he was depressed and personally I can't stand depressed people. They ruin good moods and are not fun to be around. He really just gets on my nerves because he can't even thank Reese or help him when he gets in trouble. And he gets out of progress before Reese's closer friend, Play, so he hangs out with Reese after they got out. Plus he tries to hard to be Reese's friend. I dislike toon.

Blog 12: Fame
I would rather be unknown and then rembered for something great after I've died than fade into obscurity. After I've died, people will remember me longer than when I was alive.

Blog 11: Leh guh see
I want to be known as the guy who story boarded a series of comic books and then had his own animated series which was critically acclaimed and popular, but only was on air for five years before ending it. Then I would retire with my millions upon millions of dollars and donate to charities and even create my own Mobile game based on the series and make even more money because I would make the game about waiting and then have coins you can buy with real money to eliminate waiting.

It would change our opinion of his community into Jonas' opinion. He has seen things that no one else knows about. Ignorance is bliss, practically no one in his community has felt the pain Jonas has felt. They don't know that the higher ups of the community are hiding secrets. Jonas does so that makes him distrust them.
