Connections

The story The Giver reminds me of alot of thinks.I remember when I was a little boy and I sall an airplane for my first time.At first I was scared but at the end I new it was'nt so bad at all.I could also make a connection with Jonas because I am also smart,brave,and I also like to be around with my family and friends.For me I think friends are the most important people in your live and familys becasue they will always have your back.

Ending


I would'nt change the ending of The Giver because I think it was a good ending.At the end of the story they made us more interested in finding out what happen to Jonas and Gabe.We will never know what really happen to them.Maybe they found a new place were everyone is not the same.Or maybe they both died and when they sall a bright light it was them going up to heven.So what ever had happen to them I know for a fact that they will be in a better place.    
Events

The event that I like the most In The Giver was the ceremony of twelve.One reason why is because that is were Jonas,Asher,Fiona and more people got their assignment.Jonas had a special assignment.His assignment was the Receiver of Memory.He could'nt tell no one about his memory's.He also had to follow many rules.One of the rules that surprise Jonas the most was that he could lie.Jonas had never lie before in his live.This reminds me of the day when my teacher gave each of us a assignment like the Giver.My assignment was taking care of the old.In my opinion I think it will be a good assignment for me because If I could take care of my little brother taking care of the old would'nt be that hard for me. 
The Giver explaning to Jonas that he cant tell no one about his memories



Theme

The Giver Theme of Memory and the Past

In The Giver, memories are a source of wisdom, but also of pain.The Giver gave Jonas a memory of pain. One of the first was the memory of a sledding accident anothor is a War with a dying child asking for water,there is also a sun burn.At the end of the story when Jonas escabe with Gabe he could see all the memory The Giver had gave him.He could see the colors and animals that he had seen before in his memorie.He also sall the snow and remember that their was a sled in the top of the mountain.
