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.

  1. Andre i agree with yo when you say "So they don’t feel pain or pleasure". How can they, if they have no memory of the past? they believe they understand the world around them but I believe they just live in a big lie

  2. Andre I really like the quote you put that says ''perfection is boring'' I totally agree with you because even in Jonas world there's is no perfection, the Elders try to fix something that doesn't need to be fixed. Also while I read the book it really surprised how they didn't had colours.
