What Is The Conflict In The Giver

Lea Vilna-Santos Mrs. English, 7th September 1st, 2015 The Giver, by: Lois Lowry Entry Log 7, Chapters 13-14, Questions 2 and 4: In chapters 12-13, Jonas’s father talks about a Birthmother that will be giving birth to twin boys the next month and it’s his turn to decide which one of the twins to release and Jonas continues to receive memories that might turn out to be more of a burden than he thought. The government made it that way because it would be an inconvenience to have someone who looks exactly like you. It’s weird for me to talk or read about someone saying that a person is an inconvenience. That’s a little harsh, especially for a baby.

Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, offers a thought provoking, well written story, because it changes the perspective of anyone who dares to read it to. Lowry places her novel, at some point in the future when mankind has gone away with changes and choices in life. She forces readers appreciate, or at least re-think the world they live in today. Her novel presents a fully human created environment where people have successfully blocked out conflict, grief, and individuality. Each person follows the same routine every day. Failure comply with standards, to be different, means death. Jonas, the main character, finds himself trapped in this world.

1.) People are not allowed to go outside after the specified curfew, this can help prevent someone getting injured, kidnapped, and just ensure a higher level of security for the residents in the society.

Gabriel, the adorable Newchild is staying at Jonas's house, but he is about to be released because of his inadequate weight and bad sleeping habits. Therefore, when Jonas decided to run away, he takes Gabriel with him so that Gabriel can avoid a death from release. Jonas did make the right decision of bringing Gabriel with him to Elsewhere. By doing this, Jonas has given Gabriel a chance to live and possibly to live an exceptional life, and for himself, Jonas gave himself the opportunity to love something for the rest of his life.

What would happen if you lived in a world with no emotion, no emotion, and no choice? This is exactly the case in The Giver. When a boy, Jonas, who lives in a futuristic community starts to receive memories from the Giver he realizes there are so many beautiful yet terrible things inside and outside of the community. He dosen’t know another way to save the community from sameness except to release his memories to the community, good and bad. Three things that could have been done to the community to avoid this is adding the arts, emotions, and weather.

What are your mornings like? Is it similar to Annie or Jonas's? Well, in the excerpt "An American Childhood," Annie describes her mornings as quiet, not much going on. The streets are empty and neighborhoods are abandoned. Jonas's mornings are quite different from Annie Dillard's mornings.

You are about to experience a brief compare and contrast paper between reality and a fantasy. In which our world is no long a mass chaos but everyone is equal to each other. I am going to compare the book to the movie. Many things are different and most are the same, but i'm going to point of the differences today between the movie and the book.

Have you ever considered what happens to a person when they change? In the book 'The Giver', Jonas is similar in a few ways at the end of the book from the start. But why does this matter? When a person goes through difficult experiences, they are still the same in a lot of ways.

People think to themselves, if they were leader they would be the best. If they were president there would be no more violence. When people try to think of a perfect society they think everyone getting along no war, there would be no pollution. But no matter how hard they try to make it that way they can not do it. In the novel the Giver, they take away memories from the people so they do not know what war is or what violence is.

The setting of The Giver takes place in a fictional community known as the “Sameness”. Life here is supposed to be "perfect" because there is no pain or suffering. They don’t have to take

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry describes Jonas's life in the community, where everyone, and everything is the same. A world without conflict, or choice. Your jobs are chosen for you, your partners as well, no one bothers to question the ways of the committee of elders. You could say that the committee of the elders is their form of government. Every year during December, until you’ve reached the year of 12, there is a ceremony for each age as you pass onto the next, helping you age, for example, at age 9, you get a bicycle, it's against the rules to have a bicycle or ride one before then. At the ceremony of Twelve, you get your predetermined lifelong jobs. Jonas gets chosen for a very important job, one which gives you a great honor. He is chosen to be the next receiver of memories. He is chosen to keep the memories of the past, when things were different, much different. The memories are passed down to Jonas by the receiver before Jonas, who's now known as the Giver.

The most evident form of of conflict is Jonas versus the community, so man versus the environment. In the beginning, Jonas is confused about the apple, which changes in mid-air, along with Fiona’s hair. Scientists, which had made the community colorless, made Jonas angry that they could not experience love and color like they used to. Jonas wants to escape the community because of release and the lack of everything the way it is supposed to be. Eventually, he makes a plan to run away with the Giver, because baby Gabriel was scheduled for a release.

Imagine a world without love or color. Jonas the protagonist in The Giver he ran away and left comparing his community to our society. In our society we aloud to love whoever we want and we free to love. In jonas society love is a word that is prohibited no longer said for example abandoned no longer mentioned because they don't know what it means.

Many differences exist when you compare our world to the world of The Giver. In the book age is celebrated up until the Ceremony of Twelve. In our world there are many milestones throughout our lifetime. We celebrate with presents and parties. Nobody in The Giver has a birthday party for just themselves. Instead they all share a yearly celebration together.

We a learning that, due to all the eliminations of senses, feelings and creation of equality between every individual in the society, it's creating a new and harder way for the inhabitants to accept and open up to new memories and emotions that they have been faced with. In the Givers community, this is one aspect that
