Braking Rules

Jonas was experimenting new colors and new memories. He started asking more questions about his training. He didn't understand why people could not make their own decisions every morning. Why could they choose what color of tunic they could use? He though that it was unfair people could not see colors. The giver explained to Jonas that people could make bad choices. They continued the training. The giver showed him how elephants were killed and people were poaching his tusks. Jonas felt very sad and painful about the memories the giver had given to Jonas. After the training the giver explained to Jonas why he was important in the community. He helped the other elders took better decisions with all the memories he had learned. For example when the elders wanted to increase the population, he use his wisdom and memories to see that many years ago people were dying because over population. He helped the elders understand that that was not the best for the community. The days passed and he continued learning. He asked his parents if Gabriel could sleep on his room they said that he could. The giver continued giving Jonas memories about pain and pleasure. When the giver was doing a certain face Jonas know that that day he had to leave the Annex room. One day he went and the giver was doing the face or expression so Jonas said the giver can I help you and the giver said receive the memories. He was suffering about war. Many people were fighting because of hunger and problems. Jonas was impressed and understands the feeling of pain. When this happened the giver finalized the training with a memory of pleasure. He started giving memories of love and Jonas loved it. This was the favorite memories of the giver. Gabriel was sleeping in Jonas room and Jonas give nice memories to Gabriel so he can sleep better. One night he gave Gabriel a memory of love. The next day Jonas liked so much the feeling of love that that morning Jonas didn't took the pill of stirrings.

“I mean feeling, actually, that it was kind of nice, then.” (pg 126)

In this part of the book the giver is showing Jonas the feeling of love. He is saying that holidays and memories of family and happiness is love. The giver starts to show him many memories of love and happiness, after he has gave the memories of war and pain.  Maybe these memories are going to change Jonas way of seeing his community. This part of the book is important because Jonas starts to realize that he likes the feeling of love. He is confused on how he is feeling. Jonas starts realizing that love is nice and that it feels good. Also that family could love you more than anything. Jonas does not see that his family appreciates him so he asked his family if they loved him. They responded PRECISION OF LANGUAGE. Jonas liked so much this feeling that he shared them with baby Gabe so he could feel them too. The next morning he didn't took the pills of stirrings so he could feel the love all day long.

I predict that in the next chapters Jonas is going to transmit more and more memories about love to baby Gabe. Gabe is going to grow up and start transmitting memories about war and pain. I also think that when Gabriel is older he is going to be the new receiver of memories. Jonas is going to change the society and make everyone see colors and feel love.  I also predict that Jonas will stop taking his pills of stirring and make Fiona and Asher stop taking them too. This are make predictions and I want to know if this will happened or not in the next chapters.
