Why did Jonas hate the game of war?

The game of war involved kids shooting imaginary weapons to each other, which reminded him of the memory of warfare, where he saw the young soldier begging for water and dying right in front of him. "In his mind, Jonas saw again the face of the boy who had lain dying on a field and had begging him for water" (Lowry 133 - 134).

Could Jonas's community become a utopia?

No, because a perfect world, a utopia, is very subjective. One person's paradise can be another person's prison. Also, a utopia could just as easily be argued as a dystopia.

Why is pain and suffering important to a human being? - Snithi

A perfect society is too subjective and one wouldn't be able to experience life without hard memories such as pain. Pain and suffering complete life instead of just making a perfect world where no one is used to the bad things.

What do pale eyes symbolize?

I think Pale eyes symbolize the sameness because everyone is supposed to have the same eyes, however; Jonas and Gabriel had unique eyes. These pale eyes mean that people (Jonas and Gabriel) could see more clearly...seeing beyond.

He would have died because he had no supplies. However, since music brought Jonas happiness, it would have boosted him and made him elude. He probably imagined everything before he died and died a happy life after thinking of music.

Without the Giver, there won't be a reciever. The title proved the importance/ influence of the Giver on Jonas

How does the community's use of bikes show the control that the Elders have over society? ~ Jay Hong

I think that the community's use of bikes proves that the community does not want people to escape and or die from accidents from other methods of transport. The memories may have caused the community to quit using motorized vehicles.

What happened to the Giver?

The Giver most likely died to reunite with his daughter Rosemary, like he said once he is done with his work. Thus Jonnas recieved the memory of music, that the Giver kept himself, so theres a good chance that he died and the memory got released.
