added more stress to her mental illness. Lovato herself stated that she would take on workloads and believed she could do it, but thanks to her mental and emotional state when she couldn 't do it, she would spiral into a deep depression and push everyone else away. At eleven years old Lovato started cutting herself. She said back then “it was a way of expressing by own shame, of myself, on my own body.” The emotional state she was in was damaged and it couldn’t give her a way out. Lovato said that her emotions would be so built up at times, and she wouldn’t know what to do, but use cutting as an immediate release of her stress. This technique stuck with Lovato throughout her teen days, and while on tour in 2010 with the Jonas Brothers, including her ex Joe Jonas, Demi switched back to eating as her coping mechanism. Demi said,” I was literally so emotionally whacked out that I took it out of someone who really meant a lot to me." During her Camp, Rock 2 Tour, Lovato due to her mental illness punched her backup dancer and friend, Alex Welch. After that, her family pulled her aside and said she needs…

Chapter 1 With Jonas living in an unfamiliar world, that he can only recall one time when he was apprehensive indicates his community is very safe. When loudspeakers yell directions and the fate of the pilot, making it clear that the community is a very structured and rule-based facility, and also pointing out the rule-breaking always leads to punishment.

truth is but to help them see the real objects (Spring, 1999).” This relates directly to The Giver because that is how the members of their society are all treated.

They have also been led to believe that murder is simply “release” and that older folks get sent to “elsewhere”, which is supposed to be a place…

Memories and Individuality Jonas lives in a community whose inhabitants feel no real emotion, where individuality is a thing of the past, and where the world has been drained of color.

Jonas left the community to release the memories and show people things that were being covered up from there censored lives. In the book and the movie, Jonas left the village and crossed the border to release memories, showing the citizens what they were missing.

Like Spreng said, Jonas uses the memories he receives from the Giver and applies what he learned to his perfect society. When Asher and his friends are playing the game of good guys and bad guys, Jonas recalls back to his memory of warfare. “In his mind, Jonas saw again the face of the boy who had lain dying on a field and had begged him for water.” (Lois Lowry 168) Jonas remembers the terrible face of the boy and remembers how abhorrent war is. In our world, veterans of war recall their memory…

within the community look the same, and everything revolves around sameness. At the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas receives the assignment as the next Giver, which represents the most honored assignment in the Community.

Jonas begins to experience pain and suffering, and learns that the last receiver, Rosemary asked to be released. A new child comes to live with Jonas, and Jonas…
