Decent Essays

One example of Jonas’ character changing throughout The Giver is that Jonas was obedient at the beginning of the book but later becomes rebellious. An example of Jonas’ obedience is when a plane was flying over the community. The speaker advised everyone to drop their bikes where they were and sprint to the nearest building immediately. Jonas obediently did everything the speaker had said. Another time when Jonas was being obedient is when the Chief Elder said during the ceremony that he had always presented himself on time when he had chastisement. ” ‘We hoped, also, that Jonas would present himself promptly for chastisement, and he has always done so.’ “ (62) These are all times when Jonas was an obedient child and never questioned the community.
