Jonas 'Change In The Giver'

Throughout the novel Giver, Jonas was questioning his society and community. Jonas accepting his society because he's unaware of the emotions of the other people in his community. Jonas starts to question his community when Jonas starts to feel emotions from getting memories. Jonas became to reject his society because he finds out what his community actually is. In the beginning of the novel, Jonas accepts his society's rules but once he starts to feel the memories of the past Jonas questions, and if they purposely took that out for the rest of the community.

Ned, from Code Talker and Jonas from The Giver, are two unique characters. Although they lived in hugely different societies there many similarities can be drawn between the two. There are obvious differences between Ned and Jonas. For example, Ned and Jonas lived in completely different societies with extremely different cultures. Jonas’ home was very orderly and peaceful, whereas Ned’s gave free will and was experiencing a time of war.

The people who have bravery and curiosity have a very big chance of succeeding in life, and Jonas both has these characteristics, and these two things help him get through the part taking in his new title. Jonas from The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, is a very interesting and dynamic character, and he changes very much when he gets the job of The Giver, as a person and as a friend. He receives these memories that makes him wonder about the way they live, and why they live this way. No one is allowed to know about anything besides their community, but when Jonas receives these memories, he starts to see colors and learn more about other things than his community. To start off, one example of Jonas changing is on page 82, when Jonas tells the Giver, “I am brave, I really am” At the beginning, he was

Jonas perspective was different from Asher’s perspective because they don’t have the same life and some things they can’t relate to. Jonas had more problems in his life then Asher. Jonas have a selection but don’t know what it’s meant for and in that perspective of his he have to find out what that’s meant for. On the other hand Asher doesn’t have a selection yet so he don’t know exactly how Jonas takes things. So Asher and Fiona helps Jonas figure out what he needs to know about his selection.

In the complex argument of whether Jonas dies or lives, it is clear that he had fallen into the grave. The text states that Jonas saw a light and felt warmth: “But somewhere ahead, through the blinding storm, he knew there was warmth and light.” The glowing in which Jonas sees is the luminous heaven and the warmth in which he feels is just the embrace of dying and drifting off to the afterlife. The text also states that Jonas was beginning to feel weak and faint, “Using his final strength, and a special knowledge that was deep inside him, Jonas found the sled that was waiting for them at the top of the hill. Numbly his hands fumbled for the rope.” He didn't have any strength left which means that Jonas could not get up and keep moving forward

Before Jonas met The Giver, he believed that the society he lived in was a good place.

In the novel the Giver by Lois Lowry the main character Jonas has his personality and identity change all throughout the story. His personality starts off in the beginning being a very good kid who trusts everyone, and does everything he is tolled to do. In the middle of the story he starts to question things, that make him wonder if all these rules are meant to be. At the end of the story he decides what is right and decides to part from the communities rules and do what he thinks is right and what makes him feel like himself.

Jonas’s father is who performs releases and does not question about it, it’s what's he’s told to do. The Giver states,“It’s what he was told to do, and he knows nothing else.” (pg.153) Jonas’s community chooses Sameness rather than valuing individual expression. At one time in the past, the people in Jonas’s community intended to create a perfect society; they thought preventing people from making wrong choices, the community would be safe. People became controlled and were manipulated. The expression “love” is considered “too general.” Jonas asks his parents if they love him, his mother states, “Your father means that you a very generalized word, so meaningless that it’s become obsolete.” In Jonas’s community people accept all rules and customs.

“Jonas has not been assigned, Jonas has been selected” (Page 57). When Jonas is selected out of everyone else in his community he definitely ha san honor. Being the receiver means you receive fun and enjoyable moments. Now that Jonas is the reviver he is very important to the community. Jonas gets to feel things no one else in the community can feel.

Do you believe that Jonas made choices throughout the novel? Well if you thought yes, then you are right. Jonas made choices all throughout the novel. In the beginning Jonas world was perfect, but when he turned to an district 12 everything that's perfect disappears. Jonas was chosen as the Receiver. When his training began it all changed. Jonas experiences develop a theme over the course of The Giver by teaching the reader that choices can lead to a positive or negative aftermath. Although some readers that choices may believe that cannot mess up your future, experience shows that they are incorrect.

I believe that the people in Jonas’ community are not truly happy because they don’t know how to be. I feel as if the people in the community are content with themselves and how they live their everyday lives, but since they don’t know how to feel feelings, I don’t think that they are happy. In The Giver, it stated, “He found that he was often angry, now: irrationally angry with his groupmates, that they were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on.” This shows that Jonas’ also feel that the people in his community and his fellow classmates aren’t able to feel any true joy or feel substantial sadness. Focusing on particular people, I feel that Jonas himself is not happy. Even though he is one of the

In The Giver, by Lois Lowry, Jonas is selected for the position of receiver, which he is told is the most honorable task. Jonas’s position is an honorable one because he carries the weight of the entire community’s past upon his shoulders. In addition, he is honored to be granted many memories of things that the rest of the community cannot comprehend. When Jonas is selected, his mother says, “You’ve been greatly honored,” (p.66) Jonas becomes more curious about being a reciever. Though he is apprehensive about the pain that he was told to expect, he realizes that he should be proud to take on the anguish from these memories for the sake of his community.

(AGG) We make sacrifices everyday in our lives, and we sometimes have to decline something we don't understand. (BS-1) Jonas is like many of us, we just want to belong with everyone and be like everyone else by following the rules, and the people who usually don't follow the rule are the one who didn't really fit in. (BS-2) To see further than anyone else and to understand more on their surrounding, Many become curious and often start becoming different. (BS-3) Loneliness and knowing more than others can make any man hate those who don't know the same thing, and sometime even spurn what he once knew as home.(TS)

character (Jonas vs. the Giver) and Character vs. Society (Jonas vs. the society he lives in). In the Giver Jonas and the Giver have many conflicts. Jonas at times feels it's hard to show his emotions and feelings to the giver. The Giver also had conflict when he had to transfer bad memories with him. "The Giver looked away as if he could not bear to see what he had done to Jonas. 'Forgive me,' he said." In the book and more into it Jonas begins to dislike the community and society he lives in. Jonas doesn't agree with not being able to see color, people getting killed for no reason, no one being able to be different and make their own choices and not being able to love anyone. Another example is not being able to have the right to have a child unless told or marry who they tell you and are controlled by the government, people's getting released for no reason, no one being allowed to make choices, and most of all, only one person receiving pain. "It isn't fair that nothing has color!" "Not fair?" The giver looked at Jonas curiously. "Explain what you mean." "Well..." Jonas had to stop and think it through. "If everything's the same, then there aren't any choices! I want to wake up in the morning and decide

Did you know that as many as 2,000 deaths occur in the U.S. due to extreme weather conditions 63% being from exposure to the cold, 31% being exposure to the heat, and as little as 6% caused by other types of extreme weather? This data shows that the cold kills the most people when it comes to weather-related deaths. At the end of the story The Giver Jonas and Gabriel most likely died from exposure, starvation, and exhaustion. This is a probable estimate of the events that occurred because in the end of The Giver Jonas runs away from the community taking Gabriel with him to look for a place called elsewhere. He does this in order to share the memories with the people so no one person ever has to endure all of the pain, thus leading to their unfortunate demise.
