Joe Jonas

USA in 1993and in 1994 in Great Britain. The giver is a science fiction-type novel about a boy named Jonas who lives a so-called perfect world where everything is controlled by strict rules and everything is the same. This novel questions what is right or wrong for society, and how differences and choices make life good. The title comes from the friend Jonas finds in his instructor (the giver). Jonas is assigned to an important position in the community and is the only one who learns the truth…

How do you think Jonas' community is the same and different to ours? Jonas' community is the same and different to ours in many ways. They are the same in ways such as laws and equality, but they are different in ways such as job selection and education. Jonas' community can be compared/contrasted to our own in many ways. In Jonas' community there are laws that are very similar to our own. One such law that is similar is theft, in the novel before Jonas left the community he would steal…

perfect by restricting people's choices. This made Jonas unhappy with his community because he wanted to make decisions on his own. In addition, in order for people to feel happy with their lives, they need to feel that they have control over their own choices. People are usually unhappy when all of their decisions are made for them. This was expressed in The Giver when Jonas says “‘I want to wake up in the morning and decide things!” (Lowry 97). Jonas is feeling that he wants to be more…

was weak. The producers of the movie added some characters. I think that some of these characters were not needed. Some characters were that fiona was not a nurturer in the book. I think that this was a good change because it made more sense that Jonas ran in got Gabriel and escaped. I think that the adaptation of Asher being a drone pilot could go both ways . Ithink this because it made the movie more action packed and to me made more sense, but to some others it didn't need to switch. I think…

it’s being unwound, or having to stay in a place where one would be controlled and watched. But Unwind has three protagonists while The Giver only has one. Jonas brings Gabe with him during his escape, while in Unwind, Connor, Risa, and Lev didn’t plan on escaping together. But the protagonists of both books have connections to infants, with Jonas and Gabe, and then Risa with the baby that Connor managed to obtain. The length of the books give them very different amounts of time to develop their…

In Lois Lowry’s story The Giver, Jonas becomes the receiver of memory. He is the most important factor of the community. The Receiver gets all of the old memories from the old world. The memories can include pain, suffering, joy, or, happiness. He will soon know what it takes to become the receiver and how it will mature him. In the beginning, Jonas was quite responsible for his age of eleven. He was different than the other community members though. All of his friends knew what they wanted to…

In that dream it feels different to him. That is when you know that you are no longer a child, you are one step closer to becoming an mature adult. Everyone in the community has stirrings so it's not a surprise to anyone, but to Jonas it is. People in the real world would call “Stirrings” puberty. Jonas’s community calls them “stirrings” because it is the language of Utopia, it is different. In other words, it’s what they are used to. It makes sense to them, they were born with…

Throughout the book The Giver Jonas was given huge responsibilities being chosen as the Receiver of Memory and having the fate of his community in his hand. Living in a community where you have no say in how you live your life, who you marry, who your kids are, or where you work must be hard and quite honestly it couldn’t be considered living, so discovering who you are in this environment must be impossible. But Jonas discovered and understood why he wasn’t the same as the others in his…

Jonas woke to the unpleasant stinging sensation of snow pressed against his right cheek. As he rubbed his face with his numb hands Jonas looked around confused at where he was. I don’t understand, Jonas thought with increasing worry, Is this Elsewhere? As Jonas willed himself to stand up, he felt the cold object pressing against his chest. His heart dropped as Jonas realized where he was. Behind him a few steps down the hillside Jonas saw the now frozen bicycle. Wrapping his arms around him and…
