Examples Of Perfection In The Giver

The main character in The Giver is Jonas. Jonas gets the job as a receiver and so every day he gets a glimpse of something new. Everytime he gets a new memory he tries to show and tell his friends about what he's seeing. He soon figures out there is a border that if he crosses it the border will shut down and the memories will be let into all the citizens. In this movie it shows how the people of the city have no right to choose how they live life they have to follow the rules made to keep them “safe.” “When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong.” The quote states that if people get to choose they don't choose the right things. Jonas doesn't follow the rules the city has because he's finding out new things that the world has to offer the citizens. He believes the others should know of the new knowledge he receives from the giver. Jonas brakes many rules just to cross the border to release everything hidden from the citizens. Teens connect with how they feel they don't get to learn more then they want and experience new things that would allow them to have more knowledge of what's in the world and The Giver is a perfect movie to show not being able to know

Have you ever had a belief that you were so passionate about, that your actions, words, and behavior reflect on it? That is integrity. Think for example, you believe being considerate is right. Thus you’d think before you speak, behave, or act. This shows consideration because you are thinking of how other people feel. That shows integrity because you are being considerate, which is what you believe is right.

Imagine living in a community where one person is chosen to hold all of the world´s memories. Being alone, afraid and separate. Jonas has been through all of these emotions as the Receiver. Jonas's assignment to be the Receiver of Memory is a punishment. Jonas has to receive painful and harsh memories from the Giver, that no one else has to have. Jonas feels different from his friends, and realizes that he is not the same as everyone else. Jonas is learning more things about what the world is really like, and is realizing that his training will be more painful than what he thought.

Today 's society and Jonas’s have some similarities. Such as, in both children are given comfort objects to help them through rough times. Well just like in The Giver all children go to school in our country too. Another similarity is in The Giver people are punished from chimes just like us today. In The Giver memories last forever they do today to, but people hold onto them not two people. “If you were lost in the river Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you memories are

The Giver is a novel that is set in a society that strives to be a utopia. A utopia is essentially a is “a place where no one has to make a decision, feel pain or even have a negative thought or a bad memory” (Goepfert). In The Giver their community focuses so intensely on this concept of a peace that they make many sacrifices in their pursuit to obtain it. This includes the loss of emotion, lack of individuality, deceit of the public, and a great burden on a small few. Ultimately the cost of this utopia is too high for this society.

An example of conformity found in the book is how Jonas and all others had to take pills for the “stirrings.” In The Giver, stirrings are strong feelings of love for others, and these emotions were not allowed because that would ruin the sameness of the society. Emotions are healthy and not allowing people to feel emotions

I have read the dystopian novel “The Giver” (1993) which is written by the beloved American author Lois Lowry. “The Giver” is about a twelve-year-old boy with the name Jonas. Jonas lives a similar life as all the others in the community, until the Ceremony of Twelve when he got assigned the task as the Receiver of Memory. As The Receiver of Memory it is Jonas’ task to keep all the memories of the past so not everyone needs to keep this burden. Although Jonas received beautiful memories with a lot of colors and happiness he also felt grief, pain and anger. The Giver and Jonas were tired of being the only ones who have to keep the memories and feel the pain. Therefore, does Jonas leave the community so the memories will bit by bit, come back to the citizens of the community.

What if we lived in a world of peace and equality? What if we lived in a world with no differences? A world with no social classes and inequality. That sounds pretty amazing doesn’t it? In Lois Lowry’s novel The Giver that is the reality. The catch? The catch is freedom. There is no room for being different, no room for spontaneity, no room for experimentation and breaking the rules. If you break the rules you will be caught and their is no room for forgiveness. Also, if you are diagnosed with a disease, or just simply sick, you must likely will be released into the “elsewhere” world.

Imagine a world where everything seems perfect but truly it is not as pleasant as it appears. In The Giver by Lois Lowry shows us a community in the future with no feelings at all. Jonas a twelve year old boy knows his life as it is and one evening he learns the truth about the community. Jonas set’s off into a adventure to change it all. Character,conflict,and symbolism makes the reader see thru the eyes of a twelve year old in a place of slavery disguised without anyone knowing it.

He realized that the baby that had temporarily been staying at their dwelling named Gabe, would be released in the morning. Jonas had become very attached to Gabe and he could not let him die so he took him on his journey to elsewhere. In their dwelling, Jonas’ father says “ It’s bye bye to you Gabe in the morning.” (165). Jonas and the Giver had discussed their plan and Jonas would have to leave at a certain point at night so he would not be caught. If he was caught, he would be released along with Gabe. Luckily Jonas did escape the community with Gabe and found their destination, elsewhere. This was hard because if he made one mistake, it could mean life or

"Rules are the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" (Harry Day). Although boundaries and guidelines are important for the success of a society, it is also invaluable to know the gift of freedom. If one is foolishly obedient and follows only the orders they are given, there is no growth for their future. People will start to become robots and will never learn some of life's most crucial lessons. In the book The Giver, by Lois Lowry, there are three main themes; conformity, tradition, and compliancy.

“When you receive the memories, You have the capacity to see beyond.” said The Giver when he explained the job of being the receiver to Jonas, in Lois Lowry’s The Giver. In the novel The Giver, the main character Jonas lives in a bland, boring community where everyone is the same. When he receives the assignment of being the receiver he realizes how disappointing the life he is living is once he gets memories from The Giver, of how life used to be. He lives in a society that is very different from ours in many different ways. Three main differences between Jonas’s society and society today are family, rules/consequences and colors.

Is life meaningless without memories?in The Giver,By Lois Lowry, Jonas lives in a perfect society but the Giver is the only one with memories of the past.The Giver helps them to remember feeling and the past. Life is meaningless without memories because they help you remember important parts of the past. Life would be boring and there would be no real relationships.

Imagine living in a perfect society. No pain, everyone is equal, and perfect laws that every person follows. Now imagine being exactly like every other person with all your daily choices being made by someone else for you. In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, this is exactly how they are living. The author writes about how Jonas’ perfect society is not so perfect after all. There is no troubles, pain and inequality but there is also no love, choice or individuality. Everyone is the exact same person. People need there differences to be who they are, otherwise what is the point in living if it means nothing special? Although an utopian society seems perfect with equality and peace, everything has its faults even in if considered perfect such as loss of individuality and choice as in societal ideas like birthday celebrations, being assigned a family and having others choose your time of death.

To begin, he shows bravery and courage because he was told that he was able to take on what no one else in the Community could. Lois Lowry states in the novel, “‘But you will be faced, now,’ she explained gently, with pain of a magnitude that none of us here could comprehend because it is beyond our experience”(63).Lois also wrote, “‘But we feel certain that you are brave,’ she said to him”(63). These quotes are saying that they think that he is brave enough to face the pain of a magnitude or extent that only he and the Giver could understand because they in the Givers case was the receiver or in Jonas’s case is the
