# data[].attributes.body
Anguish- Severe mental or physical pain or suffering.

Pervaded- Spread through and be perceived in every part of.

Obsolete- No longer produced or used; out of date.

# data[].attributes.body
How come holidays are not present in the community, even with Sameness? If fire is outlawed, if and when there is a huge power outage, what would the community do then?

# data[].attributes.body
Important Events:
-The family unit goes to the auditorium for the Ceremony.

-Gabe had been marked "Uncertain" and staying at the Nurturing Center.

-Each member of the family  unit had to sign a pledge to not get attached to Gabe

-A Ceremony of Loss is preformed when someone has died

-Asher heard about a man who became a sanitation worker, but then jumped in the lake and swam over to the next community.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that a Ceremony of Loss is like a funeral but less meaningful because I feel like they just need to fill in slots to keep the population in check.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel live the government is brainwashing people in the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Important Events:
-All of the Elevens were getting their Assignments.

-Children were given numbers and Jonas' was 19 (important for later).

-When Asher was younger, he mixed up the words "Snack" and "Smack"

-They have to release the smallest twin.

-Jonas gave the memory of sailing on a lake to Gabriel

# data[].attributes.body
I think Gabe will be the next Receiver because when Jonas touched Lily, nothing happened. But when Jonas touched Gabe, he transferred the memory of sailing to hime

# data[].attributes.body
(I couldn't find a sailboat picture so I put this)

# data[].attributes.body
Unendurable- Not able to be tolerated or endured.

# data[].attributes.body
How did the injection that healed you instantanelously worked? Who takes care of the twin who is released?- The twin is killed and not sent to a different community. Is he/she all on it's own in Elsewhere? How hasn't anyone broke their leg or arm falling off their bikes?

# data[].attributes.body

-The people had the choice to go to Sameness.

# data[].attributes.body
Relinquished- To voluntarily cease to keep or claim; give up.

# data[].attributes.body
Are the people who have the choice to go to Sameness genetically modified in a way to not see colour?- No, the colours are just memories that they don't have. How come Jonas can still remember when he was a Five?

I think this is what Fiona looks like.

# data[].attributes.body
None that I don't understand.

# data[].attributes.body
If they don't have sunburns, ergo they have no sun, do they have plants and vegetables and if they do how do they grow? How did they make everything the same?- Scientists genetically modified everything to be the same.

-The Receiver transmits the memories of the entire world.

-Jonas doesn't know what snow or sleds or runners or the term downhill.

-Jonas was shocked when the Receiver turned off the megaphone.

# data[].attributes.body
None that I don't understand.

# data[].attributes.body
Why doesn't Jonas know what snow was?-Because when Sameness was applied, snow was eliminated. How does the job age people?

# data[].attributes.body

So this is a video where it is similar to the novel. If you're not perfect in society's standards, you're thrown way but instead of being thrown away you're released. Some of the words in the photo are also similar to the novel: Rule-breaker and Free-Thinker, things you're not allowed to be in the Giver.

# data[].attributes.body
-Why do you take pills for a perfectly natural thing that happens?
-Why can't you not tell dreams to each other?

I think the apple represents leaving a utopia and coming into a dystopia, like the story of Adam and Eve. I predict that in the near future in the book, the boy Jonas is going to leave his utopia.

# data[].attributes.body
How come it is always 50 children every single December and not other months? Why are certain things given to you at certain ages? Why don't you have the freedom to do anything yourself?- Because the society is too controlled and the memories had been removed from everybody.

Important Events
-There is a jet that frightened the residents of the community. A loudspeaker calls out and tells them to go inside and everyone is afraid of what's going to happen to them. They probably are scared of anything new that could threatened them.

-Houses are called "dwellings" and families are called family "units"

-Everyone loves to live there and it is a great privilege to be there

-Animals are non existent (or the government may be hiding them from the rest of the world, just an assumption)

-Jonah is apprehensive of the ceremony of Twelve, a pretty big deal in the community
-Only one male and one female child are allowed

# data[].attributes.body
This is what I think their neighborhood looks like. All the same and boring with no variety.

# data[].attributes.body
Palpable-(of a feeling or atmosphere) so intense as to seem almost tangible.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is the ceremony of twelve such a big deal to Jonas? Why can't the children figure out their feelings? Why can you only have one girl and one boy and not two girls or two boys?

# data[].attributes.body
Important Events
