This Chapter shows the process of release. Jonas, who askes the Giver about release, tells, that his father has released a newchild twin this morning. The Giver wants Jonas to watch the video record of the celebration. This video record makes Jonas realize, that to release a person is nothing more than killing the person.

Descriptions of some of the memories Jonas received from The Giver - von Tessa

Snow Dream:

In the first memory Jonas received, he found himself on a sled, on top of a hill in the snow. This was when he first experienced what snow was and what downhill and sled meant. He had a lot of fun driving down the hill on his sled.

Red Sled:
The memory in which Jonas got to know the first color, was again on the sled in the snow. The Giver told him to look down on the sled, where he could see, that it was red. The Giver told him about colors and that it had to do with the “seeing beyond”. This was also the explanation for the experiences Jonas had before with the apple, Fiona’s hair and the crowd at the ceremony where “something had changed”.

Sunshine:

The memory in whichJonas found out how sunshine felt was set in a desert. Jonas didn’t know what weather or seasons where before. The sunshine and the warmth felt very good on Jonas skin, and he enjoyed it.

Sunburn:

After experiencing what sunshine was, the Emory he received after that was getting a sunburn. This was the first memory of pain that Jonas received.

Sled accident:

Another memory, where Jonas had to learn about pain, he found himself on the already familiar sled on the fill. He rode downhill but this time the sled got faster and out of control which caused an accident. Jonas broke his leg and was in very bad pain.

War:

The most painful and traumatizing memory Jonas received was about war. He was on a field full of fallen men and horses, who were begging for help. Next to Jonas their was a man in a uniform laying on the ground and covered in blood. He begged him for water and was dying. Jonas was wounded himself but he gave the man the water. This memory had a big impact on Jonas. The experienced changed the way he viewed the world around him. It also caused Jonas to tell his friends to stop playing the game where they act like they shoot each other, because they didn’t understand what that actually means and how horrible it is.

“moments” by alison malee
This is another poem which describes the short experiences of love and how it feels when memories fade. I think it fits The Giver and Jonas journey of receiving the memories by living through little moments. Once he first felt love in the memory about Christmas, he wanted to feel it again. He asked his parents if he loved him because he was really demanding this love and couldn’t understand why the community kept it from their citizens.

For me this poem stands for the experience Jonas went through, once he got the memories. The feelings he developed and the colors he finally saw have been very overwhelming and beautiful to him. The Giver gave him those memories and they made Jonas understand the world and all the lies and things he didn‘t know before, for example what a release really was. Having to deal with that knowledge was hard and something he could probably never forget but also didn’t want to forget.

“-immigrant” by rupi kaur
I think this poem is really pretty and connects to The Giver as it refers to the feeling of leaving your home behind and escaping into a world unknown and what that must feel like. The poem is called ‚immigrant‘ and in some way Jonas maybe felt like that when he left to go to Elsewhere. I also felt like ‚having your life split between two lands‘ suits the community Jonas lived in and Elsewhere quite well. Maybe also the feeling Jonas had as he understood how little the other people knew about life once he got the memories. Jonas and the Giver were on one side of life and knowledge and the people who knew nothing were standing on the other side. There was a big split between them but as Jonas left, he built a bridge by setting the memories free.

Believer by Imagine Dragons

This song fits to the topic community because they never question their way of living and the sameness that is included. They believe what they are told without asking for an explanation. They are subliminal influenced by the leaders of the community, for example by taking pills to make the “stirrings” go away.

The video is the intro of the movie “The Giver“. It introduces Jonas and his life in the community and Jonas says that he feels lost and different from the others.

"We're almost there, Gabriel. I remember this place." [...] Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting for him; and that they were waiting, too, for the baby.

The song fits to “The Giver“, especially to Jonas, because it mentions thoughts and feelings that are similar to Jonas‘. He is the only peson with real emotions and who has memories of the time before the community went to Sameness. During the training with The Giver he gets a new perspective on looking at his community.

„I ain‘t trying to do what everybody else doin‘, just ‘cause nobody doing what they all do. (…) Always do what you decide, don‘t let them control your life.“

There is no difference in the community, everything is controlled and regulated. Jonas wants to change this with his new power.

The scene is very important for the relationship between Jonas and his father. Jonas always trusted him and thought he would never kill anyone. But now he learns exactly the opposite and that his father has lied to him.

The chapter fits to the topic rules, because breaking a rule plays a big role in the chapter. Jonas takes home an apple and gets a announcement.

How does it relate to the community?
It shows one of the biggest parts of the community, the ceremonies.
Everything is strictly planned and there are no personal choices, such as choosing your life assignment.
