'The Giver' is no different. Finding the topic of a book depends on how you view the book or on your opinions of certain characters. Suppose that Jonas (the main character in the giver) had not run away from the community. This would restrict many topics that depend on how Jonas reacted in certain situations. I interpret that one of the topics in the giver is "Bravery allows changes to happen".]]> 2021-06-11 13:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1600969591 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613215828 2021-06-17 23:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613215828 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613217035 ""Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with difference. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others."]]> 2021-06-17 23:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613217035 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613219125 "For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps, it was only an echo."]]> 2021-06-17 23:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613219125 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613220179 "Things could change, Gabe. Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors. And grandparents. And everybody would have memories. You know about memories."]]> 2021-06-17 23:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613220179 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613222029 2021-06-17 23:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613222029 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613359963 I think that this is the most obvious piece of evidence that shows the theme "Bravery allows changes to happen." The citizens were too afraid of facing the new memories and learning from them. They decided that they were content with how life had been since then and didn't bother trying to be brave and changing the way the community was.]]> 2021-06-18 01:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1613359963 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1614958008 I think that this part of the story shows that because Jonas had the courage to run away, he was able to experience something happen, a change in his life.]]> 2021-06-18 20:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1614958008 201432444 https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1614968159 This shows that Jonas has enough courage to realize, that if he wanted change, he would need to try new things. I think that trying new things might symbolize Bravery because Jonas had lived in a life of sameness. The idea of trying new things might have scared Jonas.]]> 2021-06-18 21:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/201432444/6c9kqzx373ubppyw/wish/1614968159
