Feelings

In the few chapters we had read in The Giver feelings are starting to grow from Jonas, and pain is invading also to him throught passing the memories pain had touch very harmfully Jonas. Colors are now seeing ordinary to Jonas in life. Gabriel is having bad nights with Jonas's parents so he tried to take care Gabriel and in secret he is transmitting memories so Baby Gabe can sleep well. Pain had really continued and now as chapter 14 is daily. With so much pain Jonas had The Giver also gave him new memories of things and Jonas started to have real feelings on of them is Love, a memory that Jonas got is of Christmas and got to know the feeling of holidays. Finally Jonas had experience a lot of knew thing In this time.




The chapter 16 had been one of my favorites because it showing me and makes me understand more about the pain and feelings Jonas is going though, " I certanly like the memory, thought. I can see why it's your favorite. I couldn't quite get the world for the whole feeling of it, the feeling that was so strong in the room." What I understand in this quote Jonas is having so much feelings that he really doesn't know how to describe them all in one. But keeping it reading The Giver had experience that too and it's Love. What makes me think is that people without feeling love it's strange and its a feelings very strong that even I think in this community there's love. The memory that The Giver had given to Jonas that is Christmas is showing the love in a family and the holidays on what we do.here is a song from the beatles


Finally I can't wait to finish and know more about the book and the memories that Jonas had received, it's getting more interesting and now we are getting to know how is the community. I predict that Jonas with more knowledge of memories he could know what the elders are really hiding from the community and what is outside from theirs.

The Reciever of Memory

In the final chapter me and my classmates had read in The Giver in my opinion its getting more interesting and makes me wonder a lot of things and more in this chapters. Even thought in this chapters Jonas is starting to get know more about his job ( The Receiver of Memories), he had read the rules of his work and he got a little scared and in my point of view he also is even more thoughtful of a rule to not lie! When Jonas finally get into his job he met The Giver. This man is helping Jonas get memories of The Giver back such as snow and Jonas is starting to see colors now, he is very excited of those feeling of cold and see color for his first times. Talking to this man Jonas was very pensive of the pain that this Elder told him, I think by searching more memories Jonas will started feel pain. To get to the final point Jonas is amazed of his effort and work he had done being the receiver, i want to get know more about what is happening in those memories that The Giver had gave to him.

Here is Jonas thoughtful about the new memories he might got
Reading chapters nine threw twelve its pretty  interesting what is happening and how its explaining the way that Jonas can see beyond. But reading chapter eleven i see a quote that also makes me feel this way "there was a question bothering Jonas. Sir, he said, The chief Elder told me - she told everyone - and you told me,too, that it will be painful. So i was a little scared. But it didn't hurt at all. I really enjoy it. He look quizzically at the old man" ( Lowry 83). Reading this quote i also feel a little scared about what can be painful of this work receiving memories back from the past, but it seems that this few memories Jonas had gotten he had excitement and wanted more. I wonder does memories will hurt the way of life of Jonas? or do he will find a memories painful? This questions makes me think a different way or perspective of memories. I think that pain is something that you had feel in a certain way that can hurt you a lot depending on who you are, also i think that pain is a hurtful feeling of something.

In my final thought of the previous chapters we got to read were the most excited chapters i had ever read in this book because finally we get to know The Giver. Thinking of putting on the position of Jonas in those situation of the memories back, the snow, sunshine, colors makes me wonder that does blind person would feel the same because they can't see anything. It might be that they feel amazing and happy about a new feeling they are experiencing in my opinion blind people must feel like that. The Giver has a lot of honor to know about all those memories had gotten and how would it feels to have such and honor to be The Reciever both have a lot of honor there. In conclusion  i got a prediction that i think that Jonas will start too see all colors and will try to explain to others but none of them will belief him.

The Ceremony


In the lastly chapters we had read of The Giver, Jonas is explainin all the ceremony of each number because in that day all ceremony of each numbers where starting. Jonas at first had a dream and need to took pills so he can forget about it, mom say that its because you enter to puberty and everyone in the community pass through that. When the ceremony get starded the elevens where the most exited because they will turned into twelves and know their future assuagement job that the elder and government had given to them. Including this, when the ceremony of 12 was started Jonas was very nervous about it, in Jonas turn the elder skipped his number and nobody new why. finnally Jonas was selected not assign for a job because he can see beyond than others. I think that The Giver is still very interesting and every time we read it its getting deeper and we know more about this strange community.

In the chapters we had read i can feel that Jonas is different from others and what I understand is that in every point of view of him he seems different from other, like the elder says. In the last week that I had read chapters 5 through 8 is going me previous knowledge and more things about Jonas society and mostly the ceremony of this strange community Jonas had live in. Its getting me even more interesting this book about the ceremony of 12 and whats happening with Jonas like the elder said, "You members of the community will not understand it, either. Perhaps Jonas will, because the current Receiver has told us that Jonas already has this quality. He calls it the Capacity to see Beyond" (Lowry 63). In my opinion what i feel in this quote is that the elder and Jonas are very confused about that and also I think that the other people are too about it, and it might have that feeling Jonas of concerned about that selection of being a Receiver. In conclusion my way of thinking in this previous chapters I had read this last week it seems to me that the government in the book has a lot of secrets that are hiding to the community in which Jonas might with his way to see beyond have a solution to all of this problems the government is fighting for.
Lastly in the chapters I had read I'm still questioning about what is happening to this community and why does Jonas had been selected. I predict that in the book Jonas and this Receiver will find a clue about the community and maybe the answer about all because seems Jonas is smarter that usual it might be that he can solve it all. Also it might be that they have fear to Jonas about being smarter and see very differently than others. Still in my opinion this book is great because I feel that this book is very confused. Finally  The Giver is a book in which shows us about future and make us imagine what will we do if we were there.

The Strict Community



Previously in the book The Giver, Jonas is an eleven and he is almost having the ceremony of tweleve in which his future will be destinated. The ceremony of twelve is a celebration in which you find out your future work from you entire life. Jonas is living in a strict and perfectionist community that everything you do there depends on your future, and the laws in there are very strict. Living in this perfect community also you must be perfect as a person following the rules you have because you can me released from the community. In this community before you have the ceremony of twelve you also need to make volunteer hours, help people. finnally in this previous chapters are introducing us what is like this community.

In The Giver theres everything under control and in this quote "Almost every citizen in the community had dark eyes. his parents did, lily did, and so all did his groups members and friends." I feel like in this quote that everyone is having dark eyes except for Jonas and Gabriel it might be that both have their birth mother. I think that seems everyone is the same thats what Jonas is so scared of why he isn't the same as his family, it might be because of his birth mother that got lighter eyes. In my opinion Jonas is trying to say like docent is different to have lighter eyes that the other ones? or does Gabriel have my same birth mother? Jonas might be questioning. To conclude in my point of view is that Jonas is having a kind of inside trouble and also it might be that his feeling very different from others and not as perfect and same as others.

Lastly in this previous chapters we had read I'm questioning a lot, its very interesting this book and i am very interested in the reading. In what Jonas is going though i wanna know what will happened in the future and also whats really going on in this community of perfection. The quote i explain is given me extremely nervous of Jonas life, i think he is a curious kid that always looks for answers. i consider that if i were Jonas i will try to find who was his birth mom of that kid and mine also. in conclusion the book its very fun reading it and i am liking a lot of it.

Predictions of The Giver

  1. Short summary of what you think this book will be about. How would you describe it after having "interviewed" the book?
 I think this book is about a man that knew that the government is hiding something and he wants to find it. the Giver cover page is a old man so i also think that this old man might be a man that help this man that (principal) to his journey of search for answers. After i saw the interviewed  of the book i also predict that the Giver is like the Hunger Games or Divergent. The Giver might be about also that the government is having a sort of problem but that are hiding and people don't know about that. In conclusion  this book seems very interesting to me because i love Dystopia  genre of books.
2.  Read the dedication page where Lowry says, "For all the children to whom we entrust the       future." What do you think Lowry means by this statement? Explain your thinking with a minimum of 3 sentences. 

this statement says that it might happened this problem in the future and we (the kids) can fight for it. Also it might be that in the future children of my age might pass in the same issue that jonas is having. finally it also states that children can make a revolution.

3. Make a prediction about what you think will happen in this book?

I predict that it will happened that this Jonas is going somewhere that all of his age kids must do and he didn't want it and he knows that is a issue and they try to think (the government) that their life is perfect, but Jonas knew that the government got a secret behind all this.

4. Include a multi-media image that relates to something you talked about in your post.
