So free choice is very important.]]> 2021-06-14 18:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605770729 201601328 https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605770822 On page 98, Jonas is talking about how it's not necessarily the choices that matter, and The Giver says "It's the choosing that's important, isn't it."]]> 2021-06-14 18:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605770822 201601328 https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605770891 The Giver says "They gave that burden to me." when they are talking about the receivers of memory.]]> 2021-06-14 18:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605770891 201601328 https://padlet.com/201601328/5cao5k5c03nmyn6d/wish/1605773590 You can tell that Jonas believes free choice is important, because he decides to run away and break the rules.
