Who would of thought the Lily wanted to replace his younger brother after he was released!
Sounds crazy, your family has to be important to you like they are. Finally Jonas started taking his training seriously, then all of a sudden he starts feeling strange happy, sad, angry and anxious emotions. The Giver tells him it is part of the process, he starts wondering WHAT WILL COME NEXT, if this was hard for him! I really enjoy page 101 because Jonas, Lily and his father start talking about the connection between animals and humans and as example they use a stuffed elephant.

In these part of the book, the author is taking more seriously the training, like the major issue and interesting parts are taking action right now. In page 116 when Jonas gives Gabe his new memories about such things, I felt like a sweet emotion, because I thought that finally it was the day were they new they had something in common and they are related. When I was reading I asked myself, when they have these bad or good feelings or memories what color do they mean?
Finally, right now in the book there is almost none Dystopia going on, because there has been almost none bad news in the society, science Jonas is like the new leader people start to think that everything is well done, and that everything is going to stay the way it is like always and that is obviously calmed and peaceful. Seeing it a different way, maybe there is a lot o Dystopia going on, because Jonas is experiencing new things, and what if he does something wrong, the entire community would probably pay the consequences, like in his dreams, feelings and most importantly in his confusing memories. What people believed in these case a brave man, could turn into a disaster with ought going back, Jonas has to start taking smart choices, in order to keep a safe community.
WHAT IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE SITUATION? AND HOW COULD IT CHANGE ? WHY?
Majo,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post. I think that you made a very interesting perspective of the book when you said that if Jonas makes a mistake then the entire community will be affected. Jonas now holds answers to questions that were never asked by the community, in other words, the community doesn't really know what to ask if they have the minimum knowledge about humanity and what surrounds them. I think that when Jonas becomes the actual receiver, he will have to share his knowledge with the elders and if he advises poorly then the community will start failing. Overall, Jonas now holds a great deal of pressure because he is responsable of using wisdom and knowledge to make important decisions and he might not have these qualities.
