The Giver

The Giver is a superb Utopia or a wealthy and peaceful heaven like place for example Atlantis or Narnia. The Giver is about this boy named Jonas. Jonas lives in a odd community where you have to be assigned for a job, which everybody takes part in the community. There are also no animals. You have to submit applications for getting children, but you are only allowed to have one female and one male. Everybody goes into a group of numbers, for example since Jonas is eleven his name/number is eleven until he turns twelve in the ceremony of twelve. The ceremony of twelve is of course when him and his group turn twelve (all together) and they are done with there volunteer hours, they get assigned a job for life. There is also the house of old where the elderly stay. Release is a big deal in this community as you will see later on. Jonas's father is a nurturer at the nurturing center where he is like a babysitter. One day Jonas's father brings home a baby which they secretly named Gabe, it was a secret because the new child (or newborns/babies) weren't allowed to have names until adopted, "Gabe had funny looking eyes just like Jonas did", Lily recalled. Lily was Jonas's smaller sister, Lily is a talkative seven or soon to be eight at the December ceremony Jonas was playing with Asher, his best friend, tossing a apple they took from the snack basket lying on the recreation floor, then in mid-air Jonas sighted something different in the apple, just for a second the apple had changed not its shape but in color. Jonas didn't realize it at the moment but there was something special with his light brown eyes. Every morning the "family" have to share their dreams, Jonas usually doesn't have dreams but that day he did and Jonas shared a dream about Fiona, a girl he is began to have feelings for, in the bathtub at the house of the old. Jonas's mother gave him a pill and told him to take it everyday before he goes to school since he was began to have stirrings, dreams or simply just emotions and feelings in them (the community have no emotions/feelings or colors). At the Ceremony of Twelve Jonas was contented that he was finally getting assigned a job but nervous at the same time. Jonas was number nineteen and he was skipped he was ashamed and confused because he wasn't quite sure what he did wrong. Jonas was the only one sitting and when the chief elder called him up she apologized for keeping Jonas and the audience of parents anguished then she gave him the assignment of the receiver she also added that the assignment of Receiver was rear because it was only given to the most intelligent, courageous and person with integrity Jonas was very apprehensive about this assignment because she also stated that there was explainable pain. As Jonas read over the rules of becoming the receiver he was astonished to see he only had eight rules. The rule that Jonas doubted the most was the fact that you were able to lie because almost his whole life he had been taught not to lie. When he goes to see the old Receiver the assistant takes him to the dwelling or home, and unlocks the door, he felt strange because none of the other dwellings in the community were locked. When he walks in he observed the dozen of books that the old receiver had. The only books that Jonas and the rest of the people in the community were rule books. In the corner was a elderly man with a long tangled beard At first when Jonas introduced himself he studered and excused himself many times until the Old Receiver recalled one of the rules which was that he was free to ask questions. First the old receiver told Jonas to lie stomach down and relax because this wasn't going to be painful, Jonas asked what the old receiver was doing and he responded that he was giving him the memory of snow. Jonas smiled at the white puffy object falling from the sky, next Jonas sat on a flat board called a sled as he slept down a hill. All on theses terms were new to Jonas since they have no weather or hills. After some days of training the old receiver exclaimed that Jonas should not call him old receiver because he is no longer the Receiver he is the Giver, since he is giving the memories. Jonas learns lots of things with the Giver and he talks to him about Gabriel and how its unfair to take away color and many other things they are missing in the community. Jonas asks for a memory of pain, so the Giver gives him the memory of sunburn and he sees sunshine for the first time and he also experiences breaking his leg while sledding down a snowy hill, Jonas had to limp home that day with petite medicine the Giver applied. Sometimes Jonas would find the Giver rocking back and forth on his rocking chair shaking with pain because of the many memories of pain he still had not gave to Jonas because of his last failure who couldn't take the pain and applied for release and decided to inject herself. Her name was Rosemary and she was the Giver's daughter. Usually when the Giver would get like this he would cancel training for the day and Jonas would go for a walk, but one time the Giver couldn't take the pain any longer and as soon as Jonas walked in he begged him to take the memory of pain and Jonas did it with wiliness Jonas had to witness a solder missing a massive chunk of his arm, and booms exploding everywhere along with a couple other solders laying dead on the floor or asking for water without any around. Jonas say and elephant being hunted down for its tusks by a man that for the first time Jonas saw was a different color then he was. Jonas was terrified by the things he had to examine that day. From that point on he had painful memories first and then the benevolent memories such a riding on a boat. Jonas gets mad at the community for not being "normal" and understanding how he and the Giver felt he tried to make then see the way he saw things by trying to send the memories to them but it only worked on Gabe. The Giver took Jonas to see how release went and he showed him this video of one of the twins being released because he had to understand the process. In the community if one of the birth mothers (the only mothers that give birth, three babies, there whole life and then when they cant have anymore children they go work cleaning up places) has twins the smallest one has to be released. Jonas's father called the second twin a small shrimp and then injected the baby in the brain since its veins were still to small. Jonas accuses his father of killing the baby but the Giver demanding him to calm down that his father and the community don't know any better. Then the Giver starts talking about his daughter Rosie and how he wants to be with her and that could only happen if Jonas leaves to elsewhere (a place out of the community, if you leave to elsewhere you may never return to the community). They plan the whole escape and it sounds like its going to be perfect, but its not. When Jonas is eating dinner with his family his father cheerfully announces that since Gabrial didn't sleep last night he was voted to be released tommorow morning. Before morning Jonas heads past the bridge to find elsewhere but he doesn't take his regular bike he stole his dads bike which was convenient because it 'had a baby seat in the back where Gabe slept with a memory. Jonas learned about these searching planes which have heat seeking devices so him and Gabriel hid under a tree with Jonas's Memory of snow. Jonas petaled as far as he could, he felt his legs getting stronger and stronger so the stopped less frequent. One day Jonas was pedaling and he fell of the bicycle and broke his ankle luckly Gabe wasn't harmed by the fall. Jonas saw a bird for the first time with his own eyes and they landed in a forest like area near a pond where with Gabriels's blanket caught two fishes and had to eat them raw. Jonas begins to ponder if he would have been starving if he remain in the community, even though he knew the answer to his own question he explained that he wouldn't be starving from food but from emotions and color. The weather didn't go easy on them first it started rain and both Gabe and him cried. He didn't care about anything but Gabriel. Once Jonas starts to climb a skyscraper snowy hill he knows elsewhere is waiting for then at the other side. Jonas starts climbing non-stop with Gabe rapped around his arms and then he starts thinking about all the cordial memories of Lilly his parents, The Giver, Asher, and Fiona. When he finally gets to the top of the hill he see's a red sled as if it was waiting for him there, he sits on it and grabs on to Gabriel tight next he goes down." Just as Jonas is going down he hears music, but perhaps it was just an echo."
Jonas has a perfect world's everything in his community is under control he never worried about anything Jonas never felt sad and he has strange power
it so awesome book i like it

Answer 4

Jonas begins The Giver feeling uneasy about the upcoming Ceremony of Twelve, where he will receive the Assignment that determines his vocation for the rest of his working life. That night, at the nightly sharing of feelings, after his sister, father, and mother discuss their emotions, his parents comfort him about his worries. They remind him that his life will change after the Ceremony, but they reassure him that the Committee of Elders has been watching him closely and will give him an appropriate Assignment.

Jonas's father brings home a newchild who needs extra care, and they call him Gabriel, although Father is not yet supposed to know the child's name. Lily decides that she will begin volunteering hours at the Nurturing Center after she turns Nine, and Jonas recalls a strange incident where he saw an apple suddenly change before returning to the same nondescript shade as his shirt. The next day, he joins Asher and Fiona at the House of the Old, where Larissa tells him about Roberto's release ceremony, after which Roberto will go Elsewhere. Then, after a sexually charged dream involving Fiona that forms Jonas's first Stirrings, his parents give him the pills that will suppress these Stirrings.

At the Ceremony, Jonas sits through the Naming at the Ceremony of One, which Gabriel will miss because the Nurturers have decided to give him an extra year of care before deciding whether to assign him a family unit or to release him. Lily turns Eight, and the new Nines receive bicycles as a sign of new independence. The Ceremony of Twelve begins uneventfully, as the often hasty but always good-humored Asher receives the Assignment of Assistant Director of Recreation and Fiona receives that of Caretaker of the Old. However, the Chief Elder skips Jonas, which mortifies him until they announce that he has been selected as the new Receiver of Memory for the community, an important position that requires intelligence, courage, and the Capacity to See Beyond, which Jonas has previously experienced with the apple.

Jonas feels nervous and isolated at his selection, and his instructions are strange in that they allow him to be rude, ask questions, and lie, while prohibiting him from taking medication for his training and from applying for release. The old Receiver, who calls himself The Giver, informs Jonas that he is now the new Receiver and will have to receive the memories of generations of the whole world, which The Giver transmits by touch and remembrance. Jonas's first new memory is that of riding a sled down a snowy hill, and The Giver explains that after the establishment of Sameness and Climate Control, many of these things have been eliminated. The Giver also gives Jonas the memory of sunshine and sunburn to give Jonas a hint of the pain that is to come in his training.

After seeing a change in Fiona's hair, Jonas informs The Giver, who concludes that Jonas has the capacity to see color, unlike other members of the community. Scientists tried to get rid of color at the onset of Sameness, but they did not entirely succeed. Jonas and The Giver discuss how Sameness has gotten rid of individual choice, although it may perhaps have made the world safer by eliminating the possibility of wrong choices, such as in choosing spouses, although as The Receiver, Jonas will never be able to share his whole life with a future spouse, since he cannot speak of his work. They also discuss the previous Receiver-in-Training's failure, after which unwanted memories escaped into the community and caused havoc, an incident that reminded the community of The Receiver's role as the vessel for these memories.

Jonas asks for more painful memories, so The Giver introduces him first to a broken leg and later to more serious pains such as starvation and neglect. These memories give The Receiver wisdom to advise the Elders, who do not want to bear the memories themselves. At home, Jonas discovers that Gabriel is capable of receiving memories, and at his training, he eventually helps ease The Giver's suffering by taking from him the terrible memory of war. As recompense, The Giver transmits some joyful memories, including that of family, grandparents, and love, all of which are missing in the community's family units. Jonas instinctively feels that the absence of love is wrong, although he initially denies his instincts in favor of what his society has taught him. Others in the community do not understand Jonas's thoughts, as his parents deride the term "love" as imprecise and as Asher fails to understand why Jonas does not approve of the imitation war games he plays with the children.

When Jonas's father is scheduled to release a newchild because it is a twin, Jonas asks The Giver about release, who mentions that in his previous failure, his daughter Rosemary became the Receiver-in-Training but chose release because she did not want to bear all the memories of pain. The Giver then shows Jonas a tape in which Jonas's father is shown to release the infant by euthanizing him through lethal injection. Jonas is devastated by this revelation, and he and The Giver decide that he should run away so that the memories will be released into the community. They both hope that The Giver can teach the community to regain wisdom and emotion through the memories rather than to force the memories away.

Jonas is forced to leave ahead of schedule in order to save Gabriel from release, so he sets off with inadequate supplies. As they leave the community, they experience first the joys of nature and wildlife and then the fear of cold and starvation as they leave the area of Climate Control into a snowy region. Finally, Jonas finds what he perceives as the hill from his first transmitted memory, and he hears music and sees Christmas lights, believing that he has found an Elsewhere that has what the community lacked. However, the ending leaves unclear whether Jonas has truly found Elsewhere or is simply hallucinating as he freezes to death.
