The Giver Decision Making
In The Giver there are many decisions Jonas has to do but by far the most important decision he made was to ask the Giver that he wanted to watch the the release of the new child. If Jonas hadn't watched the documentary of the newborn then he would’ve remain oblivious to what his community was doing. He would have stayed the same as just before he watched the documentary, an example of that would be page 147 of The Giver, “ He was astonished and delighted that this was available to him, and surprised that he had not known.” Before Jonas watched the documentary he was acting way more cheerful since he didn’t know what was gonna happen to the baby. After jonas watched the documentary it took him little bit to know that being released meant getting

    The Giver Rhetorical Analysis

    Anyone who’s read the Giver knows that Jonas’s society if different than our own. Better read people, however, understand the book enough to realize that this is because his city is a dystopian society. Causing the banishment of emotions was a colossal mistake for “the community,” as he called it, because the project caused more harm than good. Deluded readers might say that they feel lesser emotions; in truth, they don’t even know the meaning. Even items other than emotion were taken out eventually, and many would be considered pleasures in today’s world. Factoring all these topics together, it’s clear to see that Jonas’s decision to save the community was the right one.…

    The Giver Research Paper

    “No one in the community was starving, had ever been starving, would ever be starving.” (Lowry 89). The Community in The Giver is called a utopian society, what is a utopian society? Webster Dictionary says, “an imaginary place in which the government, laws, and social condition are perfect...” Even though they may be “perfect”, utopian societies never really work out, and usually people have to take risks in order to change the society. In the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas takes risks by, helping family members, doing what he thinks is right, and helping friends see the truth.…

    The Simple Gift Analysis

    Initially my understanding of belonging was to conform to groups and individuals you want to ‘belong’ to and that where you belong contributes to your identity. However my understanding of belong has developed since then. Belonging is a concept of an individual being accepted unconditionally. A person’s identity is represented by what they pride themselves in. This is shown through the text, ‘The Simple Gift,’ by Steven Herrick as Billy does not pride himself from where he belongs but from his identity. Billy yearns to be accepted for who he is.…

    What Jonas accomplishes shows what an individual can do. He manages to not only change his life and the lives of Gabriel and the Giver, but also the lives of everyone in the community by making it possible for the memories to go to the community. Before the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas was one of a group of Elevens who were all living according to the rules of the community.…

    Essay on the Giver

    I thought that being the Receiver was a punishment. He had to know everything from before his time, and he had to live with feelings while no one else had any. Being the Receiver was more like a burden than an honor, even though it was considered an honor to the elders. It was a huge punishment to all of the previous receiver’s and the previous givers.…

    The Giver Argument

    In The Giver, the people of the Community get rid of sexual desire and romantic feelings using a pill. They call these feelings ‘the Stirrings’, and believe they are bad for the Community as a whole. I disagree with them. I think that we need these feelings in our lives. For one, they make us happy. When someone is close enough to someone that they feel comfortable sleeping with them, they are happy. Some people argue that love and sex can only bring heartbreak and pain. Although that is a valid argument, heartbreak and hurt is something that eventually fades. When it is gone and you let love back in your life, it’s something wonderful. Another argument given is that without the Stirrings, there would be no rape, pedophiles, sexual assault…

    Difference Between Perception And Reality In The Giver

    Stated in Chapter 16 on page 152, the narrator says that “ Jonas did not want to go back. He didn’t want the memories, didn’t want the honor, didn’t want the wisdom, didn’t want the wisdom.” After the horrific memory of war and of the murder of the twin, Jonas no longer wanted to be the Receiver. From all of Jonas’s memories of Cruelty of the real world/beyond the border he and The Giver need to make a change, so they made a plan for Jonas to leave the community.…

    The Giver: From Community To The Community

    Imagine a world without color, pain, or feelings. It sounds terrible. The Giver is a book about a community that people in the community do not have to be worry about anything. In other words, they never experience the joy of life and success. Jonas’ community is a strict community to avoid negative emotions. However (TRANS), there are many things that citizens are not allowed to do by themselves. The purpose of this paragraph is to contrast the Jonas’ community to our community. First of all, in Jonas’ community everyone lives by the community’s rules. It means their food, their family, their decisions are chosen for them because they are under the community’s control. However, in our community people can make their own decisions and choose their favorite food to eat. Second, in Jonas’s community the Elders control the population. It means that kids are not raised in a house. They are raised in a center for a year and will be given to family, but (TRANS) the Elders are the ones to decide who can be assigned to care for children. However, in our community people have their own children and it does not matter how many children they want to have (INF). Another difference is that when they turn twelve, the children are given a job assignment and start training (GER) for their job, and after that, they work more till they become a responsible adult. By way of contrast, in our community people can start working (GER) whenever they want, and they might want to work (INF) less when they get older (COMP). In conclusion, we would realize that our decisions, emotions, and differences might make our life harder (COMP), so it would be great to be happy with the present life. Never make your life as same as (COMP) Jonas’ community because you are never going to feel the life. A world without color, pain, or feelings should be a destination you would never…
