- Why did all of Jonas’s friends feel awkward around him?
They were very awkward around Jonas when he gets his assignment and he goes to talk to his dad about the previous Receiver and how the last ones name was never to be talked about again, it’s a disgrace to mention it. But the person also went missing. Jonas only has one page with 8 rules for his assignment. ]]> 2018-01-19 02:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/222671364 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/222672559 - Since Jonas doesn’t know what snow is I’m assuming that there is no winter.
- And I guess there isn’t any hills either because Jonas does not know the word “downhill”.
Jonas goes to the Annex behind the House of Old and for the first time he’s seen a locked door. In the room there’s a bunch of books. The Giver is giving him memories of the world. ]]> 2018-01-19 03:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/222672559 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/222840818 - This community probably takes place in the far future because Jonas and the old man were talking about older generations and how they had sunshine, snow, hills and sleds. If they don’t know what sunshine is then how do they see, is they’re community just a big inclosed area with artificial lighting?
Jonas goes to the room to start his training as The Receiver and he learns about some new relaxing things like snow and sunshine and some painful things like sunburn.]]> 2018-01-19 16:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/222840818 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/223461938 - Jonas is starting to see the colour red. This means the whole community is black and white
- How do they live if they don’t have sunshine or colour.
Jonas is frustrated because he can’t describe his assignment to his friends. He notices the shift in Fionas hair. Jonas realizes the shift is the colour red. By the end, the Giver gives Jonas the memory of a rainbow.]]> 2018-01-22 17:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/223461938 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/223467959 What is a Theme?
- What the author is trying to say about people, society, etc.
- Not to be confused with a theme topic like “love,” “war,” or “family.”

Topic: Self-Discovery
- People must be able choices to reach their own destiny / fulfillment

Topic: The Importance of Memory
- Lowry’s personal inspiration - father with memory loss
- Without memory, human beings cannot reach true happiness or learn from their mistakes. 

Topic: Pleasure and Pain
- Withput pain, people cannot understand pleasure. We must embrace and learn from pain. 

Topic: Blind Obediance 
- It is important for people to question their society instead of following blindly.

He complains about how everything is the same and how he wants to be able to have the choice of a red or a green tunic in the morning. By the end the Giver is starting to give him more memories of pain. The Giver explains what happened with the previous Receiver.]]> 2018-01-24 03:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/224072810 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/224076393 Jonas received the memory of flying in the air from being launched from the sled on the icy hill, he said it was so painful it was like a hatchet lodged in his leg that is on fire. Jonas is frightened by this memory and aches from the pain. Gabriel spends the night with Jonas and to make him fall asleep Jonas put his hand on his back and gave him the memory of the sailboat on the river. He decides not to tell the Giver about this.]]> 2018-01-24 03:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/224076393 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225104113 Jonas has the memory of warfare. ]]> 2018-01-26 15:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225104113 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225105632 - Im assuming the warm love filled room with all the people was Christmas. 
Jonas receives a memory of something he calls love, it’s the Giver’s favourite. Jonas learns about grandparents in the memory. Jonas asks his parents if they love him but they said it’s a meaningless word and how it shouldn’t be used. ]]> 2018-01-26 15:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225105632 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225752100 Asher and his friends are playing a game that involves warfare. Jonas sees them playing the game and walks in to the middle of the battlefield where they are playing and he sees the memory of warfare. All the friends were upset that he “ruined” the game and they went home. ]]> 2018-01-29 17:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225752100 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225763836 Jonas learns what happened 10 years ago with the previous receiver, Rosemary. The Giver explains that she was intelligent and eager to learn, and she got more memory’s of poverty and and emotional memory’s instead of physical pain memory’s.   ]]> 2018-01-29 17:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/225763836 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086140 Jonas is interested in what release is so the Giver encouraged him to watch the tape of how it happens. It was time for the twin baby and he sees his father walk in, but then he takes a syringe and injects it into the baby’s forehead. He sees the baby and remembers what the same position the baby was doing and the bloody soldier on the battlefield, the baby’s dead. Jonas is upset that it’s his father who does this. ]]> 2018-02-09 16:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086140 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086409 Jonas was crying and sobbing because he was upset about his father but then he calms down and spends the night in the Annex room with the Giver. Jonas and the Giver create a plan for Jonas to escape in the middle of the night during the ceremony. Jonas wants the Giver to come with him but the Giver won’t come because he needs to train a new Receiver and then he will be released. The Giver tells Jonas that he wants to be with his daughter when this is all over, but Jonas didn’t know he had a daughter and the Giver said “Her name was Rosemary.” ]]> 2018-02-09 16:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086409 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086636 Jonas goes through with the plan and takes Gabriel with him by mounting him in the baby seat on his fathers’ bike. As he leaves the community he is being very careful and he succeeded. As he was passing other communities his legs became more and more tired as he went further. He took a pit-stop and rested with Gabriel. He was cautious from the search planes when he was on the road and had to use his memories of snow to become cold because the planes have heat detection to look for warmth. As the days went on, fewer and fewer planes came by and after a long time none came at all.]]> 2018-02-09 16:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086636 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086859 Jonas goes over memories of his life in the community and is always thinking as he continues on his bumpy journey. Gabe cries that there’s a plane but it was just a bird, and he was amazed at the sight in person. He sees deers and even a fox but didn’t know what it was called. As the days went on he became starving and was starting to regret leaving but then thinking about what would’ve happene if he stayed. He started to fear that he couldn’t take care of Gabe. ]]> 2018-02-09 16:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230086859 joseph_bernier https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230087059 Jonas and Gabe are becoming weaker and colder. Jonas uses up all of his memories of sunshine and any type of heat to keep himself and Gabe warm. It starts to snow and they drop the bike because there was an impossible hill to clear. Jonas finally reaches the top of the hill with a numb body and surprisingly happy feelings. He sees the sled and quickly he thinks of his parents and friends and the Giver as he mounts the sled. He sees beautiful, colourful lights and hears music but it’s all behind him now, perhaps it was an echo. ]]> 2018-02-09 16:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_bernier/2sdhjb3dlmtb/wish/230087059
