Jonas was curious of what happens on a release so he wanted to see the release of the little twins that his father was incharge. He was in shocked when he saw that his father was injecting a liquid to the smallest twin and then the little baby die. In that moment Jonas start to cry he didn´t know what to do he was feeling upset. The Giver told him that for that night he was going to stay with him and that they were going to make a plan. The plan was about escaping Jonas was going to escape from the community to find Elsewhere that both, the Giver and Jonas, believe existed. Jonas was ok and agree with this plan even though he will never return back to the community. For some days until everything his prepare the Giver give him all his memories of courage and strength so Jonas can continue his way to Elsewhere. One day at dinner in Jonas house his father was talking about Gabe and that unfortunatly he was going to be release of the community. In that moment Jonas couldn´t let that happen because he loves Gabe so Jonas decided to go with him out of the community. Before the Ceremony, at an early time Jonas was going to escape so nobody see them. He take his father´s bycicle and put Gabe in the sit behind him and ride the fastets he can so when the light of the day was almost going out both had time to hide. The worst part was that airplanes were searching for them and because the pilots could not see colors  they use a heat detector so Jonas resolve the problem by given Gabe and himself cold memories. After a long time the supply that Jonas get for Gabe and for him was decreasing and they finish all the food they had. Even though Jonas continue his way and

they arrive to a place with diverse animals Jonas was surprise because he had only seen some of those animals in the memories given by the Giver. After this Jonas was desesperate because they were starving and now they were freezing and Jonas has given Gabe all of his sunshine memories. They were going downward and he could see lights and start to hear music he was sure it was music but maybe it was only an echo.

Text Responses

"But there were desperate fears building on him now as well. The most relentless of his new fears was that they would starve. Now that they had felt the cultivated fields behind them, it was almost impossible to find food." (172)

Poor Jonas now he is actually feeling the real pain and the real feeling of having fear. I think now Jonas would understand why the community had those rigid ways to ruled because they affect some times very badly the way in which people lived. Also thats the reason why in the community everyday they distribute the food to each dwelling so that nobody feels hunger in their lives. 

"Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting him; and that they were waiting, too, for the baby. For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. 

Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo."(179)

OH NOOO!!!! what happen does Jonas died with the little Gabe? They were such my favorite characters but even though they die or found the new place I will always like this book and the final eventhough is disapointing.  I hope they did it and now they had a better live with much choses. 

Conclusions

I think this book has being amazing and I really recomended to everyone because it makes you reflect a lot about how life might be with a community in where your life is like living inside a bubble without any kind of choses. Also I think that choses makes you the person you are even a negative or positive one but is the person you want to be. Another thing is that with love and pain you learn new things like for example that you dont have to trust everyone because they can hurt you and many times those pianful memories makes you stronger in life. Finally, having memories can be helpful because makes you remember about a mistake you had commit so you never again repeat the same mistake and live a happier life. 

The Giver 15-18

Painful Memories

When Jonas go to the Annex The Giver was having a painful and sad memory that was torture him so he said to Jonas that he was going to give him that sad memory and Jonas agreed. This memory was about warfare with a lot of fights and people crying. The Giver feel sorry about it, however is his job. After this Jonas feels that he didn´t want the honor of being the receiver and carrying all of these pain just for his own. He just want to return to his childhood like before. After this the Giver give him his favorite memory that was about Christmas what he really likes about this memory is the love that each member of this family feels to each other. Jonas at first didn´t know about this feeling and word but he liked it and understands it more when the Giver explained to him about love. Also Jonas was surprise about grandparents because he never knew about them because in the Community the old went to the Childless Adults and then to the House of the Old. One day Jonas decided to dont take the pill without anyone knowing so he throw it. It has being 4 weeks since Jonas has not taking his pills and in that day in the speaker has being announce that is an unschedule holiday this means that everyone has a free day. Jonas go with his friends to play but when he found them Jonas didn´t like the game they were playing because was about war and he thinks that is not something to make fun because is something serious and sad. At the next day Jonas and the Giver talk about release and the Giver told him the story of what happened to the last reciever of memories called Rosemary. For Rosemary was very difficult to carry all of those sad and painful memories so  one day she decided for his own to be release so Rosemary apply for her release. Because this reason the Giver and Jonas can not apply for their release because the work of the Giver is to teach Jonas and Jonas couldn´t die because it can be a disaster.

Responces to text 

"Who were the old people? Why were they there?" It had puzzled Jonas, seeing them in the room. The Old of the community did not ever leave their special place, the House of the Old, where they were so well cared for and respected. 

"They are called Grandparents." (123)

I think that being with your grandparents is a nice sensation because they are carrying and kind and they buy you what you want even if you dont want them to spend their money in you. But in this community they dont know how carrying and beautiful grandparents can be thats why I think is kind of sad specially because in this place when the kids have grow and are ready to live their own lives they never see again their parents NEVER. 

"Do you love me?"

There was an awkward 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. Amusement was not all what he had anticipated.

"Your father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless that is become almost obsolete," his mother explained carefully. 

I am in desagreement that love is meaningless because love is part of life and in your daily life you always receive love  like families, boyfriends or girlfriends and also people give love to animals. So when i read this text I think that is ridiculous and i know that what they want in the community is that people dont make choices but is a meaninfull feeling while you still alife.


Conclusions and Inferences 

I am almost finishing this incredible book but until that I have some inferences of what might be happening in the next chapters. Jonas is not taking his pill that prevents to have stirings so what i think is that maybe he is going to fall inlove with Fiona, Jonas´s best friend. Also a greate probability is that he is going to break apart with Asher because the fights and disagreements they have. However i´m not sure of what other things might happen maybe Jonas is going to be so desesperate that is going to revealed all.
