Almost December

Jonas was beginning to feel frightened

1 year ago an unidentified aircraft had flown over the community

the plane flew past the community twice

It is against the rules for pilots to fly over the community

Planes would deliver supplies across the river

A voice through the speaker ordered all citizens to go into the nearest building and stay there.

Obediently, Jonas had dropped his bike

He had run
indoors and stayed there, alone.

His parents were both at
work, and his little sister, Lily, was at the Childcare Center

Within minutes the speakers said a Pilot-in-Training had made a mistake

Then the speaker said that he will be released

being released from the community was a terrible
punishment

Jonas had said that his friend Asher, was released playfully

You are required to make a public apology

Jonas decided he was apprehensive

One of the rituals is the evening telling of feelings.

Lily is a seven

Lily felt angry

Lily and Jonas don't know what animals are

What happened 10 years ago?
10 years ago a girl (the giver's daughter) was selected for the receiver of memories. The pain was to much for the girl named Rosemary so she killed her self (released herself).

It was chaos, they really suffered for a while.Finally it subsided as the memories were assimilated.

8 rules

Where to go

When to go

He can be rude

He will not tell his dreams

No medication related to work

He can not apply for release

He can lie

He can't talk about his job

Questions
Why does his Job allow him to disobey the rules?
Because no one can know or have the memories, it would cause chaos, so Jonas is allowed to disobey the rules to stop anyone from finding out.
Why is he alone?
When he becomes the official Receiver he'll be given a whole new set of rules.He is forbidden to talk about his work to anyone except
the new Receiver. So there will be a whole part of his life which he
won't be able to share with a family or anyone.

had not yet opened any of the books. But he read the titles
here and there, and knew that they contained all of the
knowledge of centuries, and that one day they would belong
to him." This seems to say they contained knowledge. Perhaps memories or stories.

Jonas wishes he could watch the release of the twin

The giver shows him the release

His father killed the smaller twin

A small syringe with  clear liquid inside

injects it in the forehead

the baby dies

and throws it in the trash

Jonas is suprised and pained

Questions

Why do they kill  the old why don't they just let them die of old age?

Unfortunately there is no direct answer to this question. However I can make the assumption that they release them to make room for new old people and to prevent any illness or pain the old might experience.

Does it hurt to be released?

I think it can hurt to be released the text states "The newborn
squirmed, and wailed faintly." it also states the father saying "I know, I
know. It hurts, little guy." and "the newchild, no longer crying, moved his arms and legs in a jerking motion." These statements all seem to indicate that the new child is in pain.

i don't think Jonas has left the sameness quite yet. I think he leaves the sameness early in the next chapter, when the landscape changes

# data[].attributes.body
Does Jonas regret leaving the community after all?
Jonas decided if he had stayed, he would have starved in other ways. He would have lived a life hungry
for feelings, for color, for love.
And Gabriel? For Gabriel there would have been no life at all. So there had not really been a choice.
Will they survive?

# data[].attributes.body
Out of the 4 themes studied in this unit, which one do you think is the most important. Answer should be in paragraph form (1-2) and be sure to include evidence from the text.

# data[].attributes.body
Out of the 4 themes I studied in this unit, I think the most important theme is blind obedience. I think blind obedience is most important because in the community they are constantly doing what they're told and never ask why they do it. Of course the other themes appear in the book often, but blind obedience happens every single minute of the story. Even though the author doesn’t say it in the text, there is someone doing their job without questioning it and there might even be someone releasing someone else without questioning it. For example in the text Fiona is trained to release the old ,and even though Fiona is very fond of the old she doesn’t seem to have any problems with killing them. Yet another example is the choices they don’t get to make like naming their child or choosing their spouse and no one ever questions any of it. In the text the giver clearly states "Listen to me, Jonas. They can't help it. They know Nothing." I think what the Giver is implying is that the citizens of the community have been doing this for years and years and everyone just does what they’re told because that is what everyone else does. In conclusion out of the 4 themes I studied in this unit, the most important is blind obedience because the citizens are always being blindly obedient.
