Jonas is an eleven that lives in a community with no war, fights, disagreements or trouble every one in this community follows the rules because if you don't you will get released. no one in the community is sure about what it is to be released that's why everyone is afraid of it. He is a kid with a normal life and a normal family, he has one sister named Lilly a father and a mother. His father is a nurturer at the child care center, he likes a lot his job but he is really worried about a new born named Gabriel, he is a newborn that is really weak and is not growing as fast as a baby is supposed to. Jonas dad is not supposed to call a baby by his name; he is supposed to call him by his number or code. Jonas is apprehensive about the ceremony of twelves that is a ceremony in which kids are assigned a job that they will have for the rest of his life. He doesn't want to have the ceremony because he does not want to be away of his best friend Asher. He is a kid that is the opposite of Jonas; he is wild and always come in tardy for school. Asher is really excited about the ceremony of twelve but Jonas is really worried for him. in the other hand, Jonas doesn't know what the council of elders will choose for him, he really is not sure of what he wants to be in the future. as elevens, kids need to serve volunteer hours in order to get a good job and to be part of the community. The ceremony of twelve is coming up and Jonas life will change forever.    

Text Response ( 1-4)

“December was approaching. He searched for the right word to describe his own feeling.

Jonas was careful about language.Not like his friend, Asher, who talked too  fast and mixed things up, scrambling words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny”(3).

I find this quote interesting because it shows the difference between Jonas and his friend Asher. They are very different in many ways and this quote is an example of it because it says that Jonas cares about what he says while Asher does not. They are really different people with different personalities and maybe that's what makes them such good friends.

Conclusion:

 The book the Giver by Lois Lowry is one that has cought my attention because it has been able to make me feel different emotions that the main character, Jonas has he is a boy that  lives in a almost utopic place and is nerveous about what he will do for the rest of his life. To find out more about this book keep Reading this blog.

The Giver

By: Lois Lowry

1. I think that this book will be about a kid that wants to be himself and make his own choices in society even though it is an utopia society in the future, that's what the giver will teach him how to do.

2. I be think that the quote “for all the children whom we entrust the future.” means that the future will now rely in the kids of our society and that this book will teach us what could be the future if we don't take care of it. I also think that the quote means that it is our responsibility to build a good place in which we live by making good choices in our lives.

3. I can infer that in this book Jonas will become a really good friend of the Giver and that they will spend a lot of time together. I can also predict that this "utopia" will become a dystopia because the Giver will teach Jonas that their society has a lot of flaws and that it is not a perfect place to live in. I also think that Jonas will learn a lot from the Giver and that he will gain a lot of knowledge.
