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.

  1. Daniel, your blog is incomplete and it just has the summary of the book your missing all the quotes and the conclusion parts. But for that let me ask you some questions. What do you think now is going to happen to the community is it going to be the same? Do you think Jonas achieve what he wanted or just stayed in the snow and leave it all there?
