Quote #1 pg #24
Quote- “Then it was in his hand,and he looked at it carefully but it was the same apple. Unchanged.”
If i was Jonas i would have been confused of what i just saw.This quote shows that Jonas is differnt from the others. This quote means how Jonas is uncovering the things he can see.This made me wonder if this is only happening to him or to other people also.I think he would learn the reasons why this happenes to him and how to control it i think this will happened next beacuse who wouldnt want to know the reason why something weird that happening to themself.

Quote #2 pg#38
Quote - “It was the sort of thing one didnt ask a firend about beacuse it might have fallen into
That uncomfortabale category of ‘being differnt’.”
This quote means if jonas ask asher what strring is it wll be rude. This quote shows that jonas is mindful of other peoples feelings.This made me wonder if other people in the society is this mindful as he is or if there is mean and rude people.This quote shows that the “perfect society’’setting has well taught childrean not to be rude. I think jonas will find out why stirrings happenes and what it is becuase he dosent really understand what stirrings is. …show more content…

This quote shows that the giver is really focus in his job that he didnt want to have childrean or A spouse he just wanted to be the reciver. I think jonas will understand why the giver life is memories when he gets some more. If was jonas i would have understand why the giver says that the memories is his life because thats the only thing he dose. It seems unfair that theres a reciver of memory i say this beacuse everyone should experince the worst feeling and the best feeling and not just let everything on one person with all differnt kinds of momeries and
