The child's game that upset Jonas in "The Giver" was the game of war, where the children played with toy weapons and pretended to hurt each other. This game troubled Jonas because it reminded him of the violence and pain in the real world that he had never experienced before.
Jonas got upset because he had experienced the memories of war through the Giver and understood the true horrors and pain associated with it. He was shocked that his friends would play a game that glorified something so terrible and destructive. Jonas wanted them to understand the gravity of their actions and the consequences of war.
In "The Giver," Jonas enjoys playing catch with his friends, particularly the game of catch with an apple in the evening. He also likes fishing in the river.
Well, honey, in "The Giver," the giver treats Jonas like a special snowflake, giving him all the juicy deets about the real world while keeping everyone else in the dark. It's like a twisted game of truth or dare, but with more emotional baggage and less fun. Basically, Jonas gets the VIP treatment while everyone else is stuck in the cheap seats.
Jonas knows because he has received memories of war from the Giver and realizes that war means death, and that death means horrible pain for the one dying. It means loneliness, sadness, and grief for those still living. Because of this, Jonas gets very upset when he finds the other children "playing at war"
Because they were playing 'war', and had no idea what they were really doing. Jonas' friends had no concept of death, or dying, or pain, and Jonas did, via his memories from The Giver. Therefore, it pained Jonas to see his friends pretending to kill each other, when he had such a real concept of death.
If you mean whe Jonas went looking for Asher on their Holiday then it's because Asher (the new Recreation Director) was playing the game good guys vs. bad guys with the other kids. Asher saw this as a game of war and was very disturbed. It made him mad that his friends would play a game of killing people.
Asher and Jonas are playing a game called "good guys and bad guys." In this game, they take turns being the good guy and the bad guy, with the bad guy being the one who gets caught by the good guy.
The game of war is a turning point in Jonas's experience in "The Giver" because it opens his eyes to the darker aspects of human nature and conflict. Witnessing the brutality and aggression in the game makes Jonas question the values of his society and the truth behind the seemingly perfect community he lives in. It marks the beginning of his realization that there is more to life than what he has been taught.
Jonas doesn't want to play the good guys bad guys game anymore because it involves pretend shooting each other which reminds him of the memory of war the Giver gave him.
Jonas finds Asher at the House of the Old, working as a volunteer. He is playing a game of recreational equipment with the elderly residents.
Jonas reacted in a very dramatic way because he knew that war was not something to play about.
