Lea Vilna-Santos Mrs. English, 7th September 1st, 2015 The Giver, by: Lois Lowry Entry Log 9: Chapters 17-18: Question 5: I chapters 17-18, The Giver goes back to the memory of the failure-Rosemary, and Jonas finally finds out what happened to her. Rosemary was like Jonas because she was curious and eager to receive more memories. The Giver gave her only good memories in the beginning, which I think was a bad idea because, then, all there is left are bad memories. He loved her and didn’t want to hurt her, but they both knew it was her job to receive all the memories- even the negative ones.
Lois Lowry gets most of the ideas for the giver from her life. When her sister died she wondered if it would be better if people couldn’t love at all because then we would not feel pain after the love ends. This is how Lowry got the idea that the people in the community cannot love. When Lowry saw the news report about the mass murder she didn’t really care because it wasn’t anywhere near her. In the giver when people are released the person that releases them doesn’t feel any remorse for what they have done.
The value of the STEM system (science, technology, engineering, and math) is steering the education world in a new and positive direction, although some may believe otherwise. In Lloyd Bentsen’s article, “the United States educational system will continue to fail our children,” he talks about how he disagrees with Zakaria, another writer stating his views on the STEM system. Bentsen believes the STEM system will benefit America. In Scott Gerber’s article, “How Liberal Arts Colleges Are Failing America,” he talks about how people can correlate their majors into entrepreneurship. Lastly, in Fareed Zakaria’s article, “Why America’s obsession with STEM education is dangerous,” he shares his belief that our obsession with STEM is just a way to overlook
Change by Taylor W Sometimes rules must be broken in order to be free, even if following the rules was all he has ever known. In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas the main character changed through the novel. Jonas followed all the rules in the beginning but then in the book he changes and realizes he must break rules to be happy. Jonas knew the risk of breaking rules but would the cost be worth the punishment he will face of being released.
Feelings and Emotion Different feelings and emotion are not known in the community within the people. The Giver and Jonas are the only true people that know how to feel the different emotions. Every night at the conclusion of their evening meal one of the rituals is the evening telling of feelings. In the very first Chapter Jonas talks about how it was almost December and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. But then thought that was the wrong word to use.
Imagine living in a world with no freedom, choice, individuality, and color. Would you want to live in a world like this? Most of you would have said no, but a boy named Jonas has no choice, but to adhere to his community’s rules. In the book and the movie, “The Giver”, by Louis Lowery, Jonas finds it difficult to accept his community’s way of life. However, after he becomes the receiver of memory, he challenges the community after discovering what the world used to be like before sameness.
But In the book the Giver says that “ he has love for Jonas like he did for Rosemary”(Lowry 96). Imagen a world where you could not love the one you choose. That would be horable.
Here are two societies. One is the society in The Giver movie; there is no war, crime, and hunger. Every person has a job although the job is assigned by the government. Another society is the one in “Fahrenheit 451”. Firemen are people whose job is to hunt down and burn books in the society.
1. No, the characters in the movie don’t visually look like the characters describe in the book. Asher didn’t look as it was described by Lois Lowry. The book said Asher was 12, but in the movie he looked like he was like a college student. Lois Lowry described him as a funny kid, and I was guessing in the movie he would be funny.
Jonas felt anger for his father and the pain he feels for the baby twin. On page 168 in the giver,Jonas realized that they been playing a game of war ( Lowry). Jonas feel sad and misunderstood for the boy in war. Jonas sadly understood that no one know what he is feeling. These are like real life because some careless people don 't think about others and think that everything is just a joke.
There are many strange and confusing words with unusual and meanings when it comes to the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. A few of the words are comfort object, newchild, nurture, but there are many, many more. In their society these word are very familiar to the them and their community. These words are a part of their everyday life. They learn these words at a young age just like people learn words in present day.
Here are some reasons why, one detail to support my answer is on page 188 and it states, “Take some of the pain, Jonas helped him.” This detail supports the answer because when Jonas felt empathy towards The Giver when he took some of the pain away from The Giver and this could make The Giver community more positive because they can learn from all of other people’s mistakes. Another detail to support the answer is on page 121 and it states, “He had seen a birthday party with one child singled out” This detail supports the answer because it shows Jonas showing empathy toward the child celebrating by himself and if people feel empathy toward the kid celebrating by himself he could have fun and that could make The Giver community more positive. This is why empathy would have been important to create a positive Giver community.
Characters aren’t allowed to feel emotions, they have no freedom, and they aren’t treated fairly. Characters are not allowed to feel emotions. In The Giver all the characters that are part of the community get Stirrings. Stirrings are kind of like puberty they are a feeling of wanting that usually starts with a dream (Lowry 47). When a character gets Stirrings they are forced to take pills as treatment to prevent them from feeling any emotions.
One memory change that. Jonas saw the Giver’s favorite memory. The memory was about Christmas. It showed love, warmth, and grandparents. At the end of the book Jonas became affectionate.
The giver by Lois Lowry- Analytical essay ________________________________________________________ What if we lived in a world of peace and equality? What if we lived in a world with no differences? A world with no social classes and inequality. That sounds pretty amazing doesn’t it?
