The Giver Chapters 17-20 The great escape planing

Last time we saw Jonas he had learned about love, that strange and very strong feeling that for so long had been taken away by the pill, but now that he has stopped taking it he can now feel. One day the community had an unscheduled holiday so Jonas went around looking for Asher and he found him playing a game, a harmless game to them, but to him it represented warfare so he starts to tell them to stop and to be very sad.

After that Jonas beggs the Reciever to tell him about the failure of the previous Reciever and so he does he tells him her name Rosemary and how after five weeks of Reciever training she couldn't take it anymore so she applied for release. After that Jonas wants to know what release is so The Giver showed him a video of Jonas father releasing a baby and there Jonas realizes release is death. That when he decides to flee so all the memories within him go back to the people of the community.

 I have some thoughts on this quote on the book: Jonas stared at him "Release is always like that?  For the people who break the rules tree times? For the old?". So the poor pilot who made a mistake died? the old Larrisa? They all got killed because they were no good to the community what kind of life is that if you are of no use they kill you.And if Jonas succeeds in leaving the community how will the people that were in charge of releasing feel. Because if Jonas leaves then everyone will know what death is and the people who used to release in the community would feel terrible!

I really liked these chapters and i really hope that Jonas can leave the community. I want the people in the community to feel love and see color and have choices. Also if Jonas does not succeed then all the killing in the community will keep on going so i really want Jonas to succed. I think that the giver by Lowis Lowry will have a really interesting ending and i cant wait to see what the ending is.

Jonas the new receiver of the community has started his training he realized that the strange cuality he could see but others couldn't and what the Giver told him was seeing beyond was color and we saw that the community was colourless. Jonas is courious he wants to know the other mysterious things about his task that he was warned about but have not yet happened during his training. The indescriptible pain Jonas was warned about when he was to be receiver of memory had not yet happen but when he asked the Giver about the giver knew he couldnt shield Jonas forever and he gave him a painful memory the memory of a broken bone. All of Jonas lessons have started to be painful, but some days the Giver was on too much pain and Jonas was sent away one of those days Jonas told the Giver he could take some of the pain that the giver was experiencing through the memories  and so he ddid but the painful memory was one of the most painful memories of all war. The next sessions the Giver gave Jonas only good memories and he even gave Jonas his favorite the memory of love and family on a very important holiday Cristmas and thats how Jonas learned about love. 


"Do you love me? Jonas said" In this quote Jonas is asking his parent if they love him and they say that love is a very generalized word that has become almost obsolete on the community, I think that the biggest problem that the people in the comunity would have if they knew about the things in the memories would be love. If the people in the comunity about love and knew that they were being deprived from it they would probably ask for it and then probably revolt if they dont get it. I infer this because love for your parents children and other people is one of the strongest emotions in the world so i dont think that if someone didnt have love and could get it he wouldnt want to get it.

What i predict will happen is that Jonas will cause a revolt. I talked about love and how the people knowing about love  could revolt. In class we talked about how Distopias are mostly about how someone rebbels against the oppresing goverment and takes them down. So i believe Jonas will talk about love and tell the people that there could be love like he told Gabe and that way they will all rebel and stop being the community they are now.
