Jonas has now been four weeks with to taking his pills to prevent the stirrings. He now knows lots of new stuff that he gained when the giver gave the memories to him, he knows the feeling of LOVE, ANGER and lots of other feelings. Jonas and Asher had a small fight (not fiscal fight) because Asher was playing withs his friends simulating as if they had guns and they were combating each other, for what in his point of view was a game because he didn't knew what really happened before when there were wars and people died, but Jonas did and he was kind of bother towards Asher for playing that game with out knowing what it really is. Later on in the book, Father talks to his family unit about the release of a twin he has to perform but he says that he will clean the new born and put him comfy. Jonas asked the Giver that what exactly happened to the last receiver who failed ten years ago. the Giver told him that her name was Rose Mary and that she couldn't resist the non pleasurable memories so she applied for release, which Jonas was forbidden to. Jonas was really curious about release and wanted to know what it was so the giver said that he could watch the video of the release father had made that morning. Jonas watch the video and realized that when you get release you get killed. Than made him get mad at his father because for lying to him. then the Giver told Jonas that she had a daughter named Rose Marry. Later on in the book the giver and Jonas are planning a
n scape plan so Jonas can get out of the community and go elsewhere.
Will I was reading this book I found a quote that really interested me and called my attention and it was when Jonas and the Giver were creating a plan to scape. "It was possible, what they had planned. Barley possible. If he failed, he will likely be killed. But what did that matter? If he stayed his life was no longer worth living." I analyzed this quote and saw that the Jonas was risking his life to safe others, and he didn't care if he got killed because he didn't want to live in a community that doesn't show the truth. He was trying to let the community know the truth and let them live in a real world.
In conclusion this part of the book was really interesting and surprising because lots of stuff, one is that when you get released they kill you. Another thing is that Rose Marry was the receiver who failed ten years ago and it was the Givers son. Something that made this part of the book interesting was the way the author wrote it with the purpose of making you wanting to read more. I found this surprising because I don't actually like to read book but I really enjoy reading this one. In conclusion, this book has been and continues to be really entertaining.
Mateo I agree with you when you said that Jonas wanted to leave because he wanted to show everyone the truth. Although that was one of the reasons Jonas left, I think the main reason Jonas decided to leave was that he did not want a life without feelings. If Jonas had stayed everything would stay the same he wouldn't be able to change anything if he stayed. Once Jonas leaved the memories would return to the people and they would have the ability to make decisions. More importantly they would have real feelings Jonas knows that no one in the community has experienced the real pleasures of life. The factor of Jonas leaving changed everything if Jonas had stayed there would be no way that the people would get the memories and they would never feel anything meaningful, If Jonas didn't show courage to leave he would not be able to experience anything because he would not be allowed to share the memories, and Gabe id it wasn't for Jonas Gabe would not be feeling anything at all. Jonas shaped the future with his decision and it all happened because he wanted everyone to feel love.
ResponderEliminarMateo, I really enjoyed your blog and found very interesting thoughts on it. First, I like how you analyzed your quote and explained it for the reader. I have similar understanding that based on this quote we find out that Jonas has no interest in life it is has no feelings. In the community there are no feelings so staying in the community would make no sense to him and he would rather die. All that he wanted was real feeling but mostly love. Finally I really liked your way of looking into the book, which for me has been a greatly entertaining book.
