The giver
We have read the giver and we know that on this
times Jonas has receive memories of pain and of pleasure. When the giver
transmitted warfare to Jonas, he wasn’t the same. When he was with Asher and
Fiona playing warfare, he only feels like in a real war. Fiona and Asher
realize that when Jonas first started
to train he wasn’t the kid that liked to play every time and learn new
things. Jonas one morning just asked the giver, “Do you ever think about
release” (pg. 139). I think that for the receiver make him think about bad
things and death. The Giver and Jonas
were talking and bring the topic about the failure 10 years ago. The giver was
telling Jonas that when he was selected he handed the same reaction as rosemary,
as we can see in this passage: “on the surface, it was quite simple. A receiver
to be was selected, the way you were. The selection went smoothly enough. The ceremony
was held, and the selection was made. The crowd cheered, as they did for you. The
new receiver was puzzled and a little frightened, as you were” (pg140 Lowry).
The giver was continuing explaining about the receiver and brought the name Rosemary.
She liked the memories but when she feels the memories of pain she changed. The
giver told him that when he becomes the new receiver he could read all books if
he wanted and he can watch releases. The giver show Jonas the release of a
twin, and founded out that his father killed him and send it to elsewhere.
The giver told Jonas that rosemary applied for
a release they show him the process. Now Jonas knows what release means. Jonas is to young to sufer a lot of pain but their are not only painfull memories. They are many happy memories that if Jonas could transmit he will do it. That is why the giver and Jonas whant to have an escape plan. The Giver is only planing that Jonas goes because he want to be finished, as we can see in this passage ¨i love you, Jonas¨ he said ¨but i have another place to go. When my work here is finished, i want to be with my daughter.
