The Giver

I think the author teaches anyone a good lesson on determination. I think the theme is determination is the key to success. The first reason is that a decent chunk of the book is about Jonas trying to save his community. One piece of supporting evidence is when he was determined to leave the community and return all the memories. In order to get memories back, he was determined to go and wasn’t giving up.

Jonas is essentially the only character to realize that choices are made for everyone. He is the only one in the community to realize not everything has to be

Their way of release would be good under some circumstances. With the way they do release nobody knows they die. The people in Jonas’s community don’t even know what death is. When Jonas asks The Giver why cannot everyone have the feelings The Giver responds with,

Jonas has to learn more about death and pain than he already has. Death was something that wasn’t talked about in the community. The community “releases” members when they are old or if there is a set of twins or something wrong with a baby. Release is something celebrated within the community. Jonas had no idea that what release really means is to murder someone. He watches the release of a baby boy who was part of a set of twins born into the community. His father is the one performing this release because his father is a nurturer. This knowledge left Jonas devastated and in shock that his father could do something so terrible. He leaves the Giver’s and tells him that he can no longer continue receiving the memories. He takes a few days and collects himself. Fiona, his childhood friend talks him into to going back. Love is another emotion new to Jonas. He falls in love with Fiona. Falling in love is a big step that usually happens in adulthood. Another thing Jonas does that proves his progression in maturity is he decides to leave the community. When you grow up, you leave your mom and dad’s house which is how I connected this part of Jonas’ life with that of a real life

When I was in eighth grade, I read “The Giver” by Lois Lowry for the very first time. Since the first time I read the book, I have read it three additional times. Since the book was published in 1993, it has sold over ten million copies. It is a required reading in many schools. The story follows a young boy named Jonas through his life in a seemingly utopian society that has eliminated many issues that the modern world now faces. There is no crime, no war, and no poverty. In this world, every individual looks and behaves similarly; the world is seen only in black-and-white, with no color existing. When children turn twelve years old, they receive a job that they will perform for the rest of their lives, until they are eventually “released”

From beginning to the end of the novel, Jonas proves he is a serious person. Lowry writes, “He didn't often do volunteer ours with his friend because Asher frequently fooled around and made serious work a little difficult.” (Lowry, 26) Here Jonas does not want to participate in work that requires to be mature with Asher. This is important because it shows that Jonas is very focused and can't

Jonas starts to take advantage of the communities guideline rules for is assignment as the receiver. Jonas gives memories to Gabriel to keep him calm. The ability to receive and give memories is unique in Jonas's community. A person has to have the Capacity to See Beyond in order to accept memories. Which is what Jonas sees and notices Gabe and him have something in common. Once he notices he does it more and more. By doing so, Jonas breaks the rules. Jonas starts to be rebellious and take advantage of his right to lie. This is shown when he lies to his mother for the first time. Jonas was dreaming about Fiona and he had found out during rituals that he had a case of the Stirring. Stirrings were basically feelings in the book. Once she found out his mother was giving him

In the movie The Giver the main character, Jonas, learns more than what society has been telling him and sees a whole new perspective. To explain, the government hides emotions, colors, music, and memories from the community and Jonas is fortunate enough to experience it all. On his first day of training as the receiver, he sees the vision of snow and a sled. Jonas is shaken by the memories he has learned but is deeply intrigued, begging for more information each day. In the film, the wooden sled represents pain and experience.

In my opinion, Jonas left the community because of the memories and the reality presented to him by The Giver. After realizing the truth, he wanted to alter the perspectives of the citizens in the community by releasing his memories, he believed that the way people lived without any knowledge of the world surrounding them was wrong, and wished to live a more meaningful life when he left.

We have been reading The Giver in class this semester. It has a lot of Joy, Action and adventure. You can make connections in this book and you can make pictures in your mind about this book.

Jonas wanted to live a different life. In his journey, Jonas travels with Gabriel, the child that was being nurtured by his family. He needed to saved him from being “released”. Together they faced danger and fear but it was just the beginning of a new life in the land of Elsewhere.

Jonas accepting his society because he's unaware of emotions of the other people in his community. Jonas follows the rule of having the share your feelings everyday. Not telling

The book The Giver by Lois Lowery has been a staple in the education system for many years. Many students today have even written papers on it trying to relate the novel to how times can be observed in their minds. With many of these students there might have been an abundant amount of questions remaining, with little answered, leaving them with anticipation to pick up one of the next four books in the series. The main similarities among the books are that they all deal with an utopian form of society, which includes a main hero or heroine making a sacrifice to save their society. In this research paper databases will be used to compare the similarities and how each book relates to one another, while also looking at the subtle differences

Life without starvation, controversial color, and uncontrolled emotions, is the attempt to have a perfect society. This is what everyone had to go through, the one that might eventually fall to pieces. In Lois Lowery, dystopian story, The Giver, Jonas (the protagonist) was chosen to be the receiver which all the emotions came back to him, he had memories, and he saw color. This would eventually tear Jonas apart. When emotions caught up to Jonas, he started to get stirrings (a sexual desire)

Jonas discovers what is really beyond his community, beyond all the rules and policies they have to follow; he decides to leave and give all of his memories to the rest of the community so they would know about what they have not seen or experienced before. Jonas discovers that the community has decided too many things for everyone. He realizes Sameness is not right, that it cannot last any longer. He thinks of all the what-ifs. What if the Elders choose a wrong spouse? What if the Elders choose the wrong job for someone?
