The Giver, Sleeping with Gabriel and Experiencing New Memories


The Giver chapters 13 through 16 are becoming every time more exiting. Jonas has decided to sleep with baby Gabe. He made this decision because Gabriel was to noisy and his parents couldn't sleep. The first night was good until baby Gabe start to cry. Jonas put his hands of his back to share a memory with him. The memory Jonas shared was about a sailor. After he shared it with baby Gabe he stopped crying. The Giver shares a new memory with Jonas, this memory is about warfare. After experiencing that memory Jonas felted pain and the only thing he could listen was people and animals dyeing. The giver apologized with Jonas for giving that memory. The next day Jonas felted bad, he didn't wanted for his job, he didn't wanted more memories, all we wanted was to be back with Asher and Fiona at the recreation center."

"I didn't. I used my wisdom, from my memories. I knew that there had been times in the past-- terrible times-- when people had destroyed others in haste, in fear, and had brought about their own destruction"(Lowry 112). This quote made me write an analysis note, it made me release that for the society and for all citizens is important to have memories because it let you recognize what is good and what is bad. Also the quote "Take some pain"(Lowry 118). This also made me do an analysis note, I think that is important to always have a bit of pain to know have you have done and want you should not do.

I think that for the next chapters Jonas is gonna realize how different is his society different from his memories, and be in disagreement with the society rules. Also I think that Jonas is gonna be tired of being the receiver of memories and of his society and he is gonna go to another community.
