Step by Step Bringing Realize the Reality in which we Live

                                                                                                                                                                     Jonas was playing with Asher and Fiona. They were playing about war and killing each other in the game. Jonas reminded the memory of war. He was so angry that their own friends were playing this brutal game. He said them to stop and they were like why? He just lived because he didn’t want to see them play this game. He loved his friends so much but they couldn’t understand the importance of KILLING. They didn’t know anything about the world other people lived before. Jonas why curious about the release of the girl who the was the receiver of memory. The giver explained that she was doing her training but the memories of pain were too much for her.  So she asked for a RELEASE and the elders gave it to her. Jonas was confused because on his rules it said that he could not ask for a release. So the giver explained that when this girl asked for a release all the memories that she gained on her training were through all the community and everyone had the memories. It was a DISASTER. So from then on if you are the receiver of memories you cannot ask for a release. Jonas now understands and he wished he could see the release of the twins his dad was going to do.  The giver said that he could if he asked. Jonas wasn’t sure but he agreed. He was watching the screen and the video started. It was his dad putting a needle on one of the twins. When he finished the baby was with rare position. Jonas reminded one of the memories that someone died and it was the same position. He understood that release was killing and that his dad killed babies. And other people killed old or people who make more than 3 mistakes on the community. He didn’t think it was right so he wanted to change that. And from that day the giver and Jonas started planning something so they could make a difference.




This video shows the war between the Jews and Hitler. Hitler was killing so many people because he wanted sameness. In Jonas society they use release for sameness. For example with the twins the one who weighed less was release. When Jonas was watching his friends played the game he reminded of war and how so many people died.


“ No, I just have to make the selection. I weight them, hand the larger over to a nurturer Who’s
   standing by, waiting, and then I get the smaller one all cleaned up and comfy. Then I perform a small ceremony of release and" (pg.136)


In the page 136 Jonas father was talking about release of one of the twins. This part of the book makes me analyze and understand that in this community a new change or anything that is different would ruin the way of their living and their system of controlling the community. For example if they let both twins stay in the community this would make the pattern of their life a disaster. They would be confused and frustrated and will not know what to do. This means that their whole life is a pattern and a change will make them go crazy.  

This image is about two twins that will totally change the people in Jonas community because they are touching each other and they would confuse people because they are exactly the same.


Reading this book is making me curious I want to know what is going too happened in the next chapters. I think Jonas will go to change the world but someone is going to find out that Jonas is not on the city. I also think that baby Gabe is going to be part of Jonas family because they had have him for many time and have proved the committee of elders that they can stay with Gabriel. I want to know if Jonas is going to get to change the way this society lives and stop the killing of innocent people.

This image is how I think Jonas society is going to be after he make his plan true.
