The new Memories

This week Jonas is getting a lot of new memories. Some of them are wonderful and awesome and some of them are just horrible. One day Jonas went to the Annex and saw that the Giver was sad. So Jonas asked the giver if he could help with getting rid of that memory, the giver nodded, so he started passing the memory of war. Jonas got terrified with this memory; he had felt too much pain. The giver felt bad about passing on this memory to him so he gave him the memory of Christmas to calm him down. So all of this chapters Jonas is reciving lots and lots of new memories, of all kind.  Also one really intersting event that happend in the giver was that Jonas started pasing on a memory to baby Gabe while gabe was sleeping, so know baby gabe has a memory that jonas pased him, and no one knows.

Why do they hidde everything from them?

"Forgive me," he said. (120)

This quote is making me think that Jonas must of had felt too much pain in the memory of warfare.  And by noticing this I can infer that they don’t know anything that happens in the world, that they are hiding everything from this community. So I think that the chief elder makes this community have a lack of wisdom and individuality. Because how could they have wisdom if they don’t know anything about the outside world. Also a lot of times you get wisdom by knowing bad things that happened or sometimes good things, but you are not going to have wisdom if toy don’t know anything of this. So in conclusion this makes me realize that the chief elder only teaches them what she thinks its right.

everything is the same

So in conclusion the more read this book the more realize that this community is based on fear and lies. Because they are hiding all he truth for the world to the citizens of this community, they don’t know that there is more to see besides what they already know. So all this community of FAKE! There is nothing real there is no pain no pleasure, they don’t have anything real. So I just want to find out what happens at the end of this book, because I am full of curiosity.

The Decision That Has Been Made

 In the previous chapters we found out that Jonas is the receiver of memory, this means that he gets to have all the memory of how was the world before and how was everything before. So the training starts and he gets the memory of snow, this for him is a magical feeling, something he had never felt, it was pleasure then he starts getting a sun burn and he started feeling pain, just a little pain but it hurt for him because he had never felt that sun burn. So the training just keeps going through this chapters and I started noticing that they don’t know a lot of things that exist in this world. So everything continues until Jonas asks a question about that he sees something changed in Fiona’s hair, and the giver explained that he started seeing colors ( color red), and Jonas didn’t understood, so the giver tried to explain that there used to bee colors, well they are but they don’t see them anymore. 

“Close your eyes and be still, now. I´m going to give you a memory of a rainbow.” (96)

 This just makes me think that why are they hiding all of this from them. Also this quote is telling me that they don’t see color, and I think that don’t see color so there is no jealousy. Also that don’t feel sunburn because its pain, or snow because its pleasure. So they don’t feel pain or pleasure. Also this quote is just telling me that they are trying to make EVERYTHING “perfect”, they took everything away, even colors. This just keeps me thinking Why are they doing this to them? Why are they keeping all of this away from them?

So in conclusion this book is bringing do many troughs and questions about what is going to happen next, and what are they hiding from them? So I just want to find out everything in this book, I just want to find out the truth that are hiding and also what aren’t they seeing color and what are they hiding all this time? So this book up brings up a lot of suspense form because every time Jonas gest a memory everything changers, his perspective to see the world, everything changes.

A Choice to be Made

 Recently in The Giver ,Jonas is growing up, and he is expirencing new stuff.Jonas is growing up, and he will very soon receive his assignment .Everything is starting to change in this community, because all the ceremonies are getting closer. Everything was going perfect with the ceremonies, starting with the birth and naming ceremony and so on until the ceremony of the twelves. So the Chief Elder started and she started giving the assignments to each one of the group members in order of the numbers they were given when they were born ( Jonas is 19).So they were on number 18 , and it was finally Jonas turn to go to the stage , and they skipped his number. Jonas was so confused and he just wanted to disappear. So at the end of the ceremony the chief elder said that she knew they thought they had made a mistake but she hadn’t. After that she called Jonas to the stage and said “Jonas was identified as a possible Receiver many years ago.” This means that he will be able to feel real pain and that he was someone with courage and bravery. So after this he realized that he was assigned to be Receiver the greatest and most important assignment of all.


 "We have not been hasty this time, we could not afford another failure" (61)

So this makes me think that the leaders of the community are scared of failure and that they only want perfection. So I wonder that how is it possible for them to control everything that is going on in the community. How are they able to see and organize every single thing so it turns out perfect? And that just keeps me thinking about what is going to happen, is Jonas or someone going to find out the truth that they are hiding.  So this quote is telling me that they don’t want failure so they keep everything perfect. So I’m just ding to know what’s going to happen furthermore in this book.

So in conclusion this book brings a lot of mixed questions and thoughts to my mind because everything is weird in this community, this community has a lack of individuality. No one can fail, nothing can go wrong, because they have everything under control. So we need to start thinking about this world and start appreciating it because everything can change. We will never know what is going to happen in this world , we can’t predict the future.
