It was in his last breaths that he realized what he was truly missing from his experience, people. In the end he contradicted all ideas he had before, and truly had a groundbreaking discovery. His epiphany made him realize how really important family and friends were.All the beauty he found, every skill he learned, and discoveries about himself he made didn’t matter, because he had no one to share it with. He wouldn’t have thought this way had he not gone on the journey. His hate for the dysfunctional relationship between his parents, and his secluded feeling would have kept him separated from his family mentally. The journey in which he was physically separated from his family made him learn how truly important they were. In the end he accepted who he was and called himself by his real…
“Of course he wasn’t dead. He could never be dead until she herself had finished feeling and thinking. The kiss of his memory made pictures of light against the wall. Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see.” (p193)…

To most kids in our society, the changes in Jonas’s world would be difficult to accept because we in America value our freedom to choose and to voice our desires. Did the creator’s of Jonas’s community truly improve society as we know it today?…
In a way I can relate to Jonas because I am the youngest of three and my older brothers always take care of me. When we had family issues in the past, I was like Jonas and did not know what was going on exactly, and throughout that experience my parents stayed calm to keep me calm and my oldest brother did his best to make me happy and care for me. During that experience I had to grow up quickly, like Jonas, to help my family get through it. I had to stay strong, and have the strength to be there for my brother.…
Suspense is an element of plot that creates a state of tension or uncertainty. One type of suspense is when the action is “slowed to a crawl.” Another type is when the writer continues to add complications to an event or situation. Both of these types of suspense are displayed in Lois Lowry’s, “The Giver.”…
In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Jonas and Gabriel travel back in time to a world full of color,freedom, emotions, family, the young and the old together, and love. In the last two sentences of The Giver, it reads “‘Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo.”’ The word time, alludes to Jonas traveling back in time. When the book reads, “‘From the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo.”’ The community was most likely not rejoicing at the painful memories, and Jonas and Gabriel were too far for the sound waves to travel, yet there is music. Jonas and Gabriel hear music from other houses, perhaps other towns…

When I said that he has to live with painful memories, he also has to live with happy memories. The type of memories that make you so happy you wanna cry. Without feelings he would never have those memories. (Lowry, pg.164-165) “we obviously had to make the decision. Even I voted for Gabriel’s release when we had the meeting this afternoon.” They don’t even care or feel anything for the release of a child. Being released in The Giver means that they are gonna get a shot and killed. They don’t even cry when they do it. I wouldn’t like not knowing what I’m doing is wrong. That’s why feelings are so important.…
