Strict and Perfection

Previously in the Giver, Jonas is about to turn twelve, and he is about to face the biggest life changing event in his community; he is really nervious because in this ceremony he will know what he will do for the rest of his life. Everybody from the group of the elevens is having this ceremony which will assign them the job they will have for their future adult life. In Jonas comunity they have a lot of ceremonies, like the ceremony of nine in which you get to learn how to ride a bike, the ceremony of release and many more; but the most important ceremony of all is the ceremony of twelve. Everything must go right in this ceremony because this comunity is really interested in perfection. For example, if you brake one of the important rules in this comunity you will get released. Nobody knows what exsactly the word "release" means but you aren¨t allowed to say it. Also every body has to volunteer hours once a day so the elders( persons who pick your job when you grow up ) know what you are interested in. Futher more, this comunity bases alot of importance in family, for example, Lily, Jonas little sister said a joke about keeping a new born child his father was taking care of and her mother said that every family unit must only have a boy an a girl. So in conclusion this comunity has a lot of rules that can¨t be broken so they can be perfect.



"Almost every citizen in the comunity had dark eyes. His parents did, and Lily did, and so did all of his group memebers and friends. But there were a few exceptions: Jonas himself,and a female Five who he had noticed had the different lighter eyes" (20). What this makes me wonder is why is every body is sort of the same, for example why does everyone have the same or similar eye color besides the three people? Then I satart to wonder how is this place in which everyone has the same eye color, I also think about, f this is how it was before? All of this things makes me think how weird is this comunity getting as I read further more in this book. So in conclusion every weird event that is happening is making me wonder more and more about this comunity.

So finally this book is bringing to my mind alot of new ideas on how to see the world. Also it makes me realize that we need to apreciate what we have because one day we might be under tons and tons of rules we can¨t brake. Also, this makes me realize that life is meaning full no matter what and it doesn¨t matter who you are and what your job is you are always meaningful. so we need to start thinking and apreciating our lifes before we can¨t feel pain or pleasure. To summarize this book has brought a lot of new feelings and ideas into my mind.

The Giver

1.Jonas lives in a community of the future, where when he turns 12 years, he has to receive a thruth from the Giver.  Jonas is terrified about finding out his truth, because he knows there is no turning back. The day comes when the Giver gives Jonas his thruth, and it turns out to be that he will be the Receiver of Memory. He doesn´t know what this means, and he doesn´t know what he is supposed to be.


2.I think what she means about saying that, for all the children that are going to live in the future we trust them. I think she means that we need to trust the people of the future to do the right choice in life. So for me this quote means that we can´t do anything about what´s going to happen in the future because we aren´t going to be here by that time so we must have trust in the persons of the future.


3.I think that after Jonas receives the gift of beeing the Receiver of Memory he is going to find out about all the truth there is and he is going to try to do something about it. We don´t know what he is going to do but I infer that its going to cause a lot of trouble for the goevrment. i think that all the Dystopia is going to reveal so it probably started as a a good thing, but it´s going to end up in something really bad that we don´t know.
