As in Jonas world there is no crime, no violence and no imperfection. Jonas live in a black and white world to not have any difference with all the people, no racism no discrimination.In The Giver chapter 9 Jonas is congratulated of his new job as Giver of Memories. Jonas stat reviewing the rules of Giver of Memories. After reading the rules Jonas was like terrify after the reading the rule #6 YOU MAY LIE, Jonas was educated seems he was born with the teaching of do not lie. Jonas start asking the question 'do youlie?And the question f "if everyone lie? In chapter 10 as the new Recover of Memory Jonas go to his new training room, the Annex. Jonas was surprise of of what surround him, it was so many books almost like a library and he was very surprise. There was books of every type of rule. Then he met his new couch the new couch f Jonas start training Jonas not not fiscally, instead mentality. The new couch is going to transmit memories to Jonas like what is a Runner, a sled and what is downhill. In the the chapter 11 the couch of Jonas said to Jonas when he ask "what is your name" he said “call me The Giver".  As he knew Giver Jonas need to learn about, sunshine, things that are not more in his world. So The Giver put his hands on his back and he transmit the memory of snowboarding. After that memories Jonas never have experience something fun like that. In the 12 chapter page 88 Jonas see something weird in Fiona’s hair, the same that happened with the apple. Joan’s tell this to The Giver and The Giver thinks an answer to what is happening and he make a test to Jonas. The giver said "look up there in the bookshelf".

                                                          THE GIVER 5-8



     
   

    In The Giver the last past chapters they were very good moments and very interesting chapters. In chapter 5 Jonas have a strings because he dream that he was in the House of Old only Fiona and Jonas. Jonas dream he was wash Fiona's body at the bath. Then Jonas tell to his mom about his dream and his mom tell hat that those were normal at his age, his mom give him some pills to prevent it happens again. In chapter 6 the ceremony start, it start with the youngest ones, when it was the turn of Lily he has exited of her new bicycle and the older kids think that they can’t ride bicycles but they know because of his oldest brothers. The ceremony continues and till the ten ones. On chapter 7 it was the ceremony of twelve in which they assign you a job. People was passing and they call the kids by his number and not by here names. When it was getting closer to Jonas turn they were going to call Jonas, and Jonas was the 19 then Jonas was prepare to get up, but they skipped Jonas, Jonas didn’t know what is happening he think he made something wrong. In chapter 8 the audience also think it was a mistake because they skip Jonas. It was not an error because Jonas was not assign, he was selected. Jonas was selected to be the next Receiver of Memory. Jonas have the skills a Receiver need, he have intelligence, integrity, courage, he was wisdom and finally he have something other don’t have, he have the capacity to see beyond a skill a Giver need to have, it was the honors job in the community. Jonas was not happy with his new job because it implies that he will be a part of the community, something Jonas didn’t want to.

                                                     Book Review



     




       In the last past week reading this book, this book have many intriguing scenes that make me read more. In the first chapter it talk about how the life is in this community,. It said how important December was for the kids who are going to have twelve. An Intriguing part of the first chapter is at the beginning of the book when some pilots arrive and send everyone home, that part have some suspechus part. In general this chapter was very interesting and important because it explain how it was in that community. In the second paragraph it talk about how father is with baby Gabriel and it also talk about when his sister Lily went to the ceremony of nine . In the third paragraph Jonas see something strange with an apple that he can describe and it talk specially talk about baby Gabriel and when they deliver baby Gabriel at his house. Intriguing part of this chapter is was baby Gabriel’s eyes, only one person has her eyes and it is Jonas, Only Gabriel and Jonas have the same type of eyes color blue. On the fourth paragraph it narrate when Jonas goes to the House of olds. He went to the House of Olds with Asher and Fiona. In the House of Olds they wash the old people with the purpose of assigning a job to Jonas and the rest. In the fifth paragraph it talk about Jonas stirrings and his dream with Fiona, in that dream he imagine him and Fiona at the House of Old washing Fiona’s body. Then Jonas tell his dream to his mom and she said that it is normal and his gave him some pills to stop having those dreams.



         In this book there is something that is confusing me about all this book. What make me confuse is his jobs and his rules. What make me confuse of the rules is Why do they want a perfect world? If they want a perfect world why do they release important people that benefited the community like Roberto, he was a very important person in the community and they release him. Another thing that makes me confuse is to who this rules benefit and why people cant choose their job. It they want a perfect life they need to let choose people, to let mpeople choose their own way, why do they want a perfect world if they don’t let people be free, With so many rules they make unfree the people.


      This book make me think about the people’s way to live. After reading this book it makes me connect with so many thing like The Truman Show, Divergent, Hunger Games and so many other movies. All this movie have in common with the no freedom of the people like choosing their job and make things people don’t want. My best example is Divergent because and that movie people is divided in social classes that connect with the part when Lily’s mother said that the job affect your reputation. And this movie also people have a ceremony of when they are going to choose their job. This is a very interesting book I am reading. I am very happy reading this book
