While I was reading this book I found a quote that showed that people in Jonas community have forgotten what the real meaning of LOVE is. " Do yo love me? There was an akward silence for a moment. Then Father gave a little chuckle. Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please! What do you mean? Jonas asked. Amusment was not all what he had anticipated. Your Father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless thats its become almost obsolete, his mother explained carrefully." I think that they don't really know the meaning of love because they don't have the opportunity to know what it is and how it feel because they don't have some one to love. I think this because they are given a family unit and they give them pills for their stirings.In conclusion, I think this book had send good messages to the reader because it makes him think of some of the problems that Jonas community share withs our own life to see if its good or bad. Also, it makes you wander of how is it better, to have memories or just have a little amount of them and understand the basics. Farther more, I think that what they do which is keeping the memories from others so they don't feel pain is something good because they help the society be calm and not scared, but I think they should give the good and pleasurable memories so the society feels secure.

Mateo I agree with your point about love and I wrote something similar in my blogpost. I agree with your statement about it all being because of the pills and I also think people should be given this opportunity because love is very important.
ResponderEliminarMateo i agree in you part of the quote because i also thought of that. I think this is individuality because by feeling love you can feel pleasure. In Jonas community since they take pills they dont have the feeling of love and that is a very strong word for them. I alsaw agree with Jack.
ResponderEliminarMateo, I think that you choose an excellent quote because you can have a lot of conclusions. I agree with you when you said they don’t know what love is because they don’t have the opportunity. I think that if they have the opportunity everyone would like it as much as Jonas. I like the part of the book when Jonas starts to transmit some good memories to Baby Gabe and suddenly he stops crying and could sleep well. Baby Gabe had pale blue eyes that’s why Jonas was able to passed him memories. I really like your post from any point of view.
