Jonas had only been given more and more memories as the years passed by. He had changed very much from before he was given the assignment as Receiver of Memory. He believed that everybody should be able to see in colors, and understand love, but when he learned about why people of the community could no longer make their own choices, he certainly agreed with the Giver. He believed that people could make so many wrong decisions and choices that would affect their world in so many negative ways which

Lois Lowry's 1993 dystopian novel The Giver depicts the story of a young boy named Jonas living in a society devoid of sadness, pain, and crime. In the dystopia, the elders, who control the community, choose everything for the citizens, including their partners, parents, and careers. Upon the elder's selection of Jonas as the new "Keeper of Memory," the boy becomes isolated, as now he is an outlier. Society has long been free of aspects deemed harmful since the beginning of its formation; throughout

peaceful community? In Lois Lowry’s The Giver people sacrifice all their freedoms for a peaceful community. The book is about Jonas, a 12 living in a repressive community, who finds out that old people are “released” also known as killed, unhealthy infants are released, and intruders are released as well. Jonas figures out that his little brother Gabriel, is soon to be released. Jonas, because of this, decides to take Gabriel and leave. Lowry creates a community where arranged marriages are required, there

and his family has. Jonas felt like a foreigner joining a other family looking and staring at them opening and ripping presents. Jonas wondered what there doing. Jonas experienced pain from death and other things like nature. Being the receiver is tough learning different things that other people don't experience like love, hate, joy and death. Jonas felt like a foreigner joining and spying on a family. The family was a stereotypical family. It's Christmas for them, Jonas wondered why the family

first thing I would talk about is the main character Jonas, exactly like the book, it starts before the Ceremony of Twelve took place. In the movie, they called it the Ceremony of Sixteen which is completely different. According to the Adaptation Theory, the general audience wouldn’t really catch the error because they haven’t read

live under norms basically the society is divided by section like childhood, adulthood and old age. The main character is Jonas a little boy of 12 years old is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory from The Giver.

The story begins with 11-year-old Jonas where the first chapters explain the way of life in the community basically "Two children - one male, one female - to each

are talking about family units, both have many similarities. Every Family unit/Society always has their own tradition including the giver. In the text, it emphasizes how “The children all receive their bikes at nine…..But almost always, the older brother and sisters had taught the younger ones”(Lowry 17). This information helps justify how they would always get their bikes at nine but since the older ones taught them before, They would have some knowledge. Both societies have shown a lot of differences

“He searched for the right word to describe his own feeling. Jonas was careful about language.”(Lowry 3)-The community is very precise about their language, they speak with great precision. Their vocabulary is based strictly upon dictionary definitions. It is ironic because in a society eradicated of emotion, words are meaningless. Before his memories Jonas was very careful about precision of language, but, after he became aware that some words mean more than can be described by a dictionary definition

For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. As Jonas reached the bottom of the steep hill, he lifted Gabriel from his lap and removed himself from the wooden sled. Gabe’s cold face pressed against his chest. “We’re almost there Gabriel, just hold on.” His voice trembles. Gabe’s little body was shaking, shivering, but Jonas didn’t know what it meant.

7th September 1st, 2015 The Giver, by: Lois Lowry Log Entry 3: Chapters 5-6: Question 5: In chapters 5 and 6, Jonas is at the Ceremony and about to become a Twelve when he recalls a memory. Since the Ceremony starts with the youngest kids that means the Ones start. This is when the babies are given out to their families. One of the Twelves who is Jonas’s friend gets a baby brother named Bruno. Another family gets baby whose name is Caleb. This family used to have a son and his name was also Caleb

best friend was a boy I’ll call K. His house was close to ours, and he was a grade behind me in school. We were like brothers, walking to and from school together, and always playing together when we got home”. This shows that the seventh man and K were really close friends before his death. Furthermore, (para 9) “ we never once fought during our long friendship.

those things. Jonas sees the world, emotionless, blank. He wants to change it. The community chose Jonas to be the Receiver. The most important assignment in the community.

question I ask as I read Lois Lowry’s “The Giver.” As the story begins, Jonas, the main character, is having trouble finding the “precise” word to describe his feelings about the communities upcoming, Ceremony of Twelve. His determination to find just the absolute, exact word causes an uneasiness, a sense of something “not quite right”, it foreshadows future predicaments and turmoil ahead in Jonas young life.

“ 'We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others. '" That was said by The Giver in Lois Lowry 's book, "The Giver". It 's like he was describing a movie adaptation of a book.
