Love,what does it mean?

     
Now Jonas have a bunch of memories stored in his life. He knows how the society was in the past and he like it more, he has the idea that how about if it is like in the past with all the memories and choices people can make. We can see that the importance to have a receiver is so he can give his opinion for things that the elders don't know. Like the airplane that they didn't know what it was and they called The Giver so he can tell them. Jonas someday have a recreational time, The Giver has some pain days and he send Jonas to do something else. One day Jonas was going to his trainment and The Giver was in pain, but this time he didn't leave but he gave him this pain memories so he can have less pain. It was the warfare, it was one of the worst memories they had and Jonas has a huge impact with this memories. The Giver was really sorry for this and form then he just gave good and happy memories so the warfare memories wasn't so harmful. One of this one was the Family union and love. Love, what does it mean?  This was the favorite memories of The Giver and Jonas like it too and he thought that love was great! He went to tell his parents if they love him and they respond with just a "precision of language." After that Jonas went right up to his room where baby Gabe was, then something occurred...Jonas gave a memories to him so he can fall asleep.
  

        Jonas now is learning all the honor and importance that the receiver of memories has. Like in page 105 were Jonas and the Giver are talking, the Giver said. "It’s just that...without the memories it’s all meaningless. They gave that burden to me. And to the previous Receiver. And the one before him." So the Receiver position is like the most important in this community. Without him they would not know anything and they would have many problems. The Receiver need to be always a special person. I think that they are the only people that are different in this community. Like they don’t accept the differences here and that why they can’t see the colors, but they are different from other and that’s why they can do this. In real life everyone is different and that what makes it real. If there wouldn’t be any difference then it would be boring and we wouldn’t live actually. In Truman Show there are difference but all is controlled and it is also not life. The people that Truman know are all actors and no one really care of him is just a job. So the importance of the memories is what makes difference, memories make that people know things and with that thing there are difference and then it creates what is called real life.
 
Connect to Jonas difference from the rest.



      
         To summarize all we have learn many things of how the society in this world is. And we can see that is quite bad they really can’t live their lives. No one have memories of nothing and just t receiver have them, so they are really important for the society. Also they don’t have any feeling and they really can’t express anything. Now I can predict that Jonas is going to break more rules, he is going to try to change how the community works and to memories to come back.

Lets Talk of Memories

           Jonas has been selected the receiver of memories! This is one of the most important jobs in the society and his training need to begin. First he received all the rules and thing he need to do for his jobs and in this rules there were many exceptions from the general rules like he can lye or that he can’t tell his dreams. But before one of his trainings starts, Jonas have his vision again, he saw Fiona's hair red. He went and tell The Giver that he saw it and then we knew that was the capacity to see beyond. The Giver gave his first memories to Jonas, the memories of snow. In here he can imagine a sled and a hill and that he get in the sled and ride it down the hill. But Jonas was still confused of why do they advertise him that this job would have pain. After that question The Giver gave him the memories of burn or sun and Jonas feel the pain and knew how it was and feels. Then we see that they never have seen colors and don't know what it is, The Giver in fact he haven't seen colors give the memories of color red to him. Just a moment later he realized that it would be better to give him the memories of the rainbow.
             This part of the book has been very important and interesting. It show many thing that will take actions in future of the book. There are many quotes in the book that shows this like in page 95. "Of course. When you receive the memories.You have the capacity to see beyond. You’ll gain wisdom, then, along with colors. And lots more." This quote represent the job that Jonas will have in as simple as 23 words. It says the capacities he will need and that fortunately Jonas have them, and that the capacity to see beyond is in every memories. So I can infer this is a type of memories that they have from the past that just some type of people have it and that it can be a big problem if used incorrectly or very help full if its use it like you are supposed. With these quote we infer that they can’t see the colors and just the people that receives this memories can. Including to the "and more" here comes the pain and the pleasure too. All the pain can be very bad but is necessary to be known so he can be prepare for something that can happen in future. With pleasure we really can say that it feels very good but there can be problems with these some really big. In conclusion This quote really get my attention and make me think a lot and now I really can have an idea of what the book would be more clear.
               In the next chapters I think that Jonas is going to start acting different with everyone. He is going to realize that this society is too much controlled and not very realistic. He is going to brake many rules even the one that he is given as a receiver that they brake the general rules for everyone. Do Jonas have all the ability to make a good role as the new receiver or is he going to be a deception to all? So what are your prediction of this book from what I have shown you above?

The Giver

            In chapters 5-8 Jonas is getting to his puberty age. What Jonas got were stirrings and that showed that he is growing and he need to tell to her parents about this and they gave him some pills so stirrings stop and this show me that in this community having feelings are considered bad and no one can have them. Then the big day of the ceremony finally come. He waited and watched each ritual pass until the twelves and the most important for Jonas came. The elders start telling each person their assignment and when Jonas turn came they skipped him and continue the ceremony. Then when they finish telling all the assignments they apologized with Jonas and tell him that he was selected. His assignment is going to be the new receiver of memories and for that he need to have many qualities and one special, to see beyond.

             In these chapters there were some very important quotes that tell of what the book is going to be about. One of this were on page 60 were they give the assignemnt to Jonas, "Jonas has not been assigned," she informed the crowd, and his heart sank. Then she went on. "Jonas has been selected." This quote really mean a lot and show us a very important change in the book, we`ve been waiting for this moment that Jonas get his assignment, this have been like what all the book has been about until this far. So this quote means that the selection is something more important than an assignment, and that he is doing an important thing that will help all the community. Also the selection is does`nt necessary a good thing, it can be bad and like Jonas is going to have a hard time learning to be the receiver of memories.

           As final thoughts, this book has been really interesting and it have called my attention. I like all the suspense they give so you want to keep reading and reading. What I can predict that will happen next is that Jonas is going to the trainment for being the new receiver of memories, like the book said he is going to have lot of painful things to do and he is going to try to give up and the actual receiver of memories is going to teach him things so he never give up. All of this teachings is going to make Jonas a very good receiver of memories and everybody is going to be proud of him.
