The Truth

Here is Jonas and The Giver talking about the memories,
also  planing what they are going to do.
The final chapters i had read in The Giver, at this point had been the most shocking, in the book many things had happened in Jonas life and also the Giver's life. Jonas had been feeling a lot and in this time when people in this community where playing the war game, Jonas had felt pain because he recalled the memory of warfare. The most shocking part it was the story about Rosemary and what had happened to her when she was being the receiver 10 years ago. Jonas start to ask questions about released until The  Giver show him what is released and what happens to it. The Giver and Jonas start to think of a plan to get away from this terror of comunity and finally they got a great plan but just Jonas could escape.

The part that interested me was when Jonas's father was in the nurture center in the ceremony of the baby twins and one gets released, that was the part in which the giver showed him what really is released in this community. "He killed it! My father killed it! Jonas said to himself, stunned at what he was realizing. he continued to stare at the screen numbly" (pg: 150). I found that this is pain what Jonas is feeling for the released baby. When i was reading it i think that father was a cruel man but he really didn't know what he has doing he think its okay to released someone a life. In my point of view this shows me that memories are a very strong figure in our daily lives and will stay forever, and without memories you really don't know what you are really doing if it right o wrong.

This is Jonas going out of the community and
The giver saying goodbye
What i had seen in this book during reading is that the book really gets into you and make you feel if you where literally in the book. I really liked it because each time is getting interested in what Jonas is finding about this strange community and how he could scape and planned everything with The Giver. In conclusion I predict that Jonas will scape and find the real world and start live in there.

  1. Ines i also think a very shocking part was finding out what releasing was. I think Jonas is very shocked and concerned with the reality of what he lives in
