Chapter Summary: The Giver

The First edition of the giver was written in 1993, Lois Lowry lived in Honolulu, Hawaii. Lois ended up graduating from New york City High school. She then spent two years at Brown University before dropping out to get married. The giver was seen as controversial by some for its violent themes sexual content and depiction of infanticide and euthanasia. Others however praised this book. People believe that she wrote this for children to let children know the future is in their hands. The giver was meant for children. No Lois didn’t intend to use stereotypes or show prejudice although some might take it that way. I could not find where the book was published.

For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. As, Jonas and Gabriel were heading down the hill, jonas realized that he had no way of stopping the sled when they were near the town. He was trying to figure out a way but it was too late to try and stop the sled.

She got up and walked into another room. The house was way bigger than the family units and was filled with objects and tools I’ve never seen before. While she was gone, I just watched Gabriel sleeping, cuddled up in the blanket. Before she returned, I fell asleep myself.

In The Giver, Jonas’ world is turned upside down when he is chosen to be the next receiver of his community. The ceremony of twelves is the last ceremony of the day. Jonas waited anxiously for his name to be called; he never hears it. The chief elder has made a mistake. Jonas now has to learn that everything he has been taught was not always the same and it ages him years.

The poem, "Dulce Et Decorum Est", and chapter 15 of "The Giver" develops many underlying themes and imagery. A theme developed through the two writings is related to lightning bolts. Also, the imagery used in the two writings is very harsh-seeming to develop the theme.

He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. but perhaps it was only an echo. Jonas got up off the sled and followed the sound he had heard, it led him and Gabriel to the doorstep of the house with the shining lights through the window. He felt filled with joy as he stood at the front door with Gabriel in his arms. He couldn't find himself to knock on the door, he was afraid of not getting accepted in their life. That's all he wanted, to get accepted into their life. The life with emotions. The life he wanted, he couldn't picture himself in life without emotions anymore. He could never go back into the world he lived in before. He thought to himself,

In chapter 14, of The Giver by Lois Lowry Jonas develops a lot, because he becomes an individual and stops following rules set for him. In the beginning, Jonas was very obedient to his community because he followed its strict rules at all times. Like when he didn’t want to share his weird dream with his family but he knew it was a rule so he did anyway. However, when Jonas became a receiver the rules he needed to follow for his assignment as the receiver differed from the rules of the community. As a result, in chapter fourteen he changed and became disobedient. He became disobedient when he stopped following his community’s rules because the rules the giver gave him went against the rules of the community. The more he had to break the community

Some things that Jonas’s community lost when they went to the “sameness” is, snow, sun, sky.

Jonas and Gabriel were freezing. They kept going further into elsewhere. All of a sudden, Gabriel shouted, “plane, Plane!” It was Asher. He was assigned to take them out. But, Asher helped them get further away. He picked them up and carried them for miles in his plane. They were warmed and fed. After a few hours, Asher landed and they were on their own again. Jonas thanked Asher for what he had done for them.

In the book “ The Giver “ By Lois Lowry, chapters 19 to 24 were Dramatically because Jonas discovered what “ release “ it’s an injection that kills people. Jonas discovered what release is by watching that RUEFULLY video, his dad was killing a baby with the injection.Jonas got really depressed by watching that video, so jonas decided to do something that maybe could stop releasing people, mostly the elders the elders had a specific age to be release, for the elders they think is a big ceremony where they are going to celebrate, so they get really excited but because no one knows what is release is, that's a problem because the elders are going to die and they have no idea.

Robert Plant, a famous musician in the band called Led Zeppelin, once said,”I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful. In The Giver By Lois Lowry, Jonas thinks it is better to experience love even if it involves pain. Jonas is watched his whole life and is assigned to be a Receiver of Memory. He learns about the goods and the bads of the life that the community has never seen before. However, Jonas thinks that they should realize what has happened.

Chapter 11- The Giver places his hands on Jonas and gives him his first real memory. A the beginning, Jonas is scared he will fall asleep. He was suddenly cold, and the air was changing. His breath was cold, his tongue suddenly touched the cold air. He was now filled with energy he was no longer frightened. The hands are no longer felt on Jonas’s back. Jonas sticks out his tongue and catches a snowflake on his tongue. The sensation makes him smile. Half his brain knows that he was still in the Annex Room, but the other half was now in a new world, sitting atop of a flat hard surface- a sled. His hands now felt a rough damp rope he could see. He knew his eyes were actually closed, but cold air swirled around him feeling like cold fur. He could see his breath, he now perceived the word snow. He was high up, but he sat on the hard flat object. Then he perceived the word sled. He now perceives the word hill. He felt himself going downhill, he did not need a voice to explain the experience. The experience explains itself. His face rips through the cold air. He is perceiving new words as he slides down the hill. He can feel the hill-flattening, nearing the bottom. The motion slows, and snow piles around the sled. Jonas pushes his body, moving it forward. He did not want the ride to end, but the snow was too thick and heavy, piling fast, for the sled to continue moving. The memory is over. The Receiver tells Jonas that this memory is a far memory, there were many receivers before

The runners sliced throw the snow there were having a blast going down the hill for their first real time. They were having a blast until, Boom the sled came to a complete stop and Jonas and Gabe went flying off. They hit a big rock on the hill the hill was kida steep and they hit the ground and, went tumbling down when they reached the bottom of the hill Jonas was not moving.

Every person is molded by their society, do you live in the right one? Of course, we don't choose our modern-day society or any society for that matter. It is always chosen for us, generally by someone older than us. As a child, you may have believed that a world full of candy, with no bed time was the greatest thing for you. Your parents being more mature and experienced knew that candy isn’t healthy, and you need sleep to grow. Usually people who are wiser telling us what to do is for our safety, but how far would you allow them to go? When comparing the book The Giver, by Lois Lowry, to our current day society we have to consider this. How is the giver different
