The Giver Quote Analysis

Jonas was very brave and took risked to make sure everyone had a choice. When Jonas agreed to release the memories he showed that he was scared, “I’ll do it. I think I can do it. I’ll try, anyway. But I want you to come with me.” Other characters followed the rules and did not do anything that they chose to do. For example, Jonas’s dad always did what he was told even if it did not help him or his family. Jonas’s father was the nurturer that released people in the community. When Jonas first found out what being released meant and watched his father release a baby he thought “he killed it. My father killed it.” That is how The Giver is shown in

“ ‘But I want them!’ Jonas said angrily. ‘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!’ ” The Giver by Lois Lowry was inspired because of her elderly dad losing his memory of anything painful that happened in the past, Lowry got the idea to write a book where all the painful memories were taken from everyone in the community along with color and emotions. Not only were the memories, emotions and color were taken away, but so was their right to make their own decisions. Jonas, however, the receiver of memory is starting to see colors and is given memories, then he makes

In the futuristic novel, The Giver by Louis Lowry, many of our choices are taken away, leaving us with “Sameness” in which everyone and everything has no color and no choice, everyone is created to be “perfect.” Jonas a young boy is chosen as “The Receiver” in which he learns about leadership and commitment. He also has to make a number of choices to be considered a good leader. In the following paragraphs we will be exploring the things mentioned and comparing and contrasting how the right and wrong choice is determined in our society and in the novel The Giver.

I think the novel ended on a negative note because many quotes and evidence in the novel leaves us in a statement and thought saying that something bad is going to happen or something bad happened. In the novel, The Giver, it states, “ The memories had fallen behind him now, escaping from his protections to return to the people of his community.” This quote means that every step Jonas took outside of the community, the more his memories didn’t belong to him anymore. They slowly started to be in the hands of the community instead of Jonas. That action had impacted the people in a negative way, which had created a prodigious problem.

There are too many rules and it would get annoying eventually. “Attention. This is a reminder to females under nine that hair ribbons are to be neatly tied at all times.” (Lowry 22) Tiny things like this could get someone in big trouble if it’s repetitive. “I apologize for inconveniencing my learning community.” (Lowry 5)Since he interrupted the class, he had to say a saying of their appreciation. “Attention. This is a reminder to male elevens that objects are not to be removed from the recreation area and that snacks are to be eaten, not hoarded.” (Lowry 23) The big speaker thing had pointed him out after he took an apple.

In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, the biggest flaw in Jonas’s community is their awful idea of hiding the past from the citizens to create an unreasonable world with no disappointments. They almost never admit that a mistake had been made, and they wiped away memories of the past, like war.

I would not want to live in the society from the giver for many reasons. You are not allowed to make choices of your own. There are no colors in the society. There are no animals in the community.

My (TS): Jonas rejected his society because he wanted choice instead of sameness, and disapproved release.

In the book the giver by Lois Lowry, on page 137-145 they use the word love a lot agian and agian. The giver uses it on page 141 he said ¨ You can understand then, that that's what i felt for rosemary… I loved her¨ This is showing the reader that when the giver is telling jonas that he loved her he's really saying that he loves too.

In the book "The Giver" Jonas demonstrates courage in his willingness to continue to become a receiver even after feeling the terrifying memories of pain and suffering. When he received the memory of the war and starvation they hurt Jonas and after

In the Giver the community has many weirdly spoken words. These words can mean many things, but to the community these words are nothing out of the ordinary. Everyone there is used to hearing these words and is not startled by them. In the real world an average person would have no idea what some of these words mean. For example Stirrings, comfort object, and Nurturer. In these strange peoples' community these are everyday words, but to ordinary people, they are very odd. Stirrings is very serious in the community, so is being a Nurturer. Every living child in the community is given a comfort item until the age of eight. Although, having a comfort item is not that unusual like the other two words, most children have items they go to sleep with every night. These three words from the book are routine words to the community.

The topic of my writing this week is words in The Giver that only the people in the community use. These words can sound like something but they really could mean the opposite of what you think. I am going to talk about what words mean and what effect they could have on the people in the community.

“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. The quote talks about how Jonas crosses the barrier. He thinks he can hear the memories going back to the people in his community and that he can hear music playing. In the end of “The Giver,” Jonas and Gabriel cross the barrier and return the memories because they had the strength, The Giver knew what he was doing the whole time and, Jonas thought he could hear the memories going back to the community.

In The Giver, there is a variety of different symbols represented throughout the entire story and one is Gabriel, who represents the new generation and how the people of the community’s lives should be. For example, Gabriel symbolizes how their life was corrupt when Jonas’ father says that he was going to be released because he wasn’t sleeping soundly through the night. Jonas’ father states, “He cried all night, apparently. The night crew couldn’t handle it. … ‘So,’ Father went on, ‘we obviously had to make the decision. Even I voted for Gabriel’s release when we had the meeting this afternoon’”(206). If a child wasn’t sleeping soundly by the age of two,then they had to be released. While saying that if they don’t sleep
