New memories!

The perspective of Jonas world has changed.

Jonas has more memories each days of colors, animal’s and snow but also he have received a lot of pain.  He has been receiving good and bad memory’s some relay painful. One think very important is that they are afraid of making wrong choices. That is way the elders chose all for them. Like the entire days baby Gabriel is on Jonas house. But this time Jonas is sleeping with him. Jonas all the night tells baby Gabe the memories so he gets sleep. The memories are not being told the memories are given to Gabe like the memory of ocean but Gabe is able to receive the memories. One day the giver asks Jonas if he could take the pain and Jonas lay down and the giver gave him the memory of war. Jonas was very scared and had a lot of pain, the giver felt really bad for giving him the memory so quickly and the few days he gave him only good memories so he can see that in the world there are good and bad things. After the memory of war Jonas felt very painless and he didn't want to receive the memories, he doesn't want to feel more pain but he still went to train. Then the giver gives him the memory of Christmas and also the memory so animals of a horse, but Jonas wanted to have all the things. But the elders take it because they don’t want the community to feel love and these memories of animals have love because it makes you feel love.

 






"But now i can see the colors, at least sometimes, I was just thinking: what if we could hold up thinks that were bright red or bright yellow, and he could choose? Instead of sameness.

"He might make wrong choices."

"Oh." Jonas was silent for a minute. "Oh, I see what you ment". (Lowry 98)

I chose this quote because i think is very interesting. This quote is showing that they are afraid of making wrong choices. They are afraid of being released; this community is built on fear. Also the elders want a perfect community with no mistakes, so they chose everything for the people in the community so they don’t make mistakes. But for me the elders are making the life for them is like a society of robots. All is control for them; they just need to make what they said. In my opinion I think is better is they let them chose because i think what makes you stronger is when you learn from your mistakes, from your wrong choices. But in this society they are not strong they are week and have non liberty of being different being individual. 

Finally what I am trying to say is that for me the community is boring and I think that Jonas is realizing that too because he is seeing that every day they do the same in the community. They have the dream telling the go to school then at night feelings and the same every day. Every day Jonas goes to train but after the giver show Jonas such painful memories he really don’t want more memories. Now talking about memories way do you think Gabe is able to receive the memories and is Jonas getting out of memories? I think that the elders only use the receiver of memories so they can consult on what to do. Like for example they use the memories so they don’t

make wrong chose like in the past or if they don’t know something they ask him if it had happened before or if he knows what to do. For the elders the memories are not important. I predict that Jonas somehow is going to share the memories to the community and so they can see what the elders have been hiding for them all there life’s. And will be able to be stronger and to decide what they want in there life’s.
