This
few chapters we have seen almost a complete rising action. A lot of important
events have happens through chapters 13-17. Now Jonas has almost mastered the
ability to see colors and he now ready to feel painful memories. Jonas has
started seeing his community different and incorrect and he is trying to pass
memories to Asher and Lily but there is no result. There were days that the
Giver felt so painful that he couldn't train Jonas, but one day Jonas felt that
his training would be suspended again but then the Giver asked for helped and
Jonas received the painful memory of warfare. After receiving such a painful
memory the Giver gave him beautiful ones. One day Jonas decided to let baby
Gabe sleep in his room. In midnight Gabriel started crying and Jonas undecided
tried to pass a peaceful memory to Gabe….. Something story changing happened.
Gabe was able to received memories.
While reading chapters 13-17 this part of the book was very interesting to me and I was able to analyze it and make inferences. "Jonas kept
receiving memories and one day he received the memory of love. After that day
Jonas decided to don’t take his stirrings pills again."
I think this quote can tell us many different things on what
is going to happen in the future of this book. I thing one of the main things
this part tells us is the Jonas is begging to care less with his community and
start to be independent. After receiving so many memories about the truth of
his community he is now feeling uncertain and thinks his community is
incorrect. Because of this Jonas wants to experience things he is only able to
do it in his memories, like love. I think that this is another main reason why
he decided to stop taking his pills… he wants to experience love. Love is one
of the best feelings in the world and Jonas by not taking his pills he is going
to have stirrings again and start to fell in love with Fiona. I infer that later on in this book Jonas is
going to fell in love with Fiona, and since she doesn’t feel love he is going
to do anything to make Fiona love him.
This quote made me realize the importance of love in our
lives.
Martin, I found your blog very interesting given that it led me to draw new conclusions from the book. As you said earlier, we have read almost the entire rising action and we are able to make conclusions from what we know. I also feel sad for Jonas because nobody understands him and he is the only one in his community to know the true meaning of emotions (except for the Giver). Later on, you explain why did Jonas stopped taking his pills which we can agree that is because of his desire to feel pleasure. I, like you, believe that this will have big effect on Jonas' life and want to find out what happened next in this entertaining book.
ReplyDeleteI really think your comments are very inspiring and made me feel different my blog but in god ways Thomas. I think we think the same and I think that maybe later on in the book Jonas might fall in love with Fionna and maybe apply for a spouse. After reading chapter 20 I think we have found out a lot of good juicy stuff and I cant wait to read the end of this book.
