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.
I liked your blog Bernardo i have the same prediction as you that Jonas is gonna try to change his community maybe he will even succed in passing on memories of color or something like that
ReplyDeleteBernardo, I liked your blog since it kept to the point and no getting too off topic. I see your point of view saying that in Truman's life there were "some" changes but everything was thought out so it wasn't life as we know it. Your blog was very neat and balanced I liked it.
