No matter what the holiday is that you celebrate you can always have a good time. In The Giver the month of December symbolizes the happiness and togetherness there utopia has by having their huge celebration.]]> 2018-04-17 13:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/252572985 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/253421593 The point of growth in which the seeds of an apple that grow new apple represent Jonas becoming an adult. Not only does it represent him becoming an adult, it shows that the bitter parts of your life are the base of what make the life ahead of you. Without the bitter seeds there won't be anymore sweet apples, without the bitter times in life there can't be a sweet life ahead of you.]]> 2018-04-19 13:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/253421593 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/256002708 The utopia forbids love, no one can feel it. They call love the stirring and when you feel it the pills make it so it doesn't happen again and you cant feel love. If you felt love to someone that you weren't assigned to, life wouldn't be perfect like it's meant to in the utopia world, if it isn't unhappy releases happen.]]> 2018-04-27 13:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/256002708 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261201062 The Receiver of Memories house is different from all of the other dwellings in the community. His has thousands of books while others only have the three books about the community, he also has locks on his door because he is the one person in the community who needs complete focus. Finally he also has a speaker that he can turn off, this is also because he needs to be able to have quiet whenever he wants.]]> 2018-05-16 13:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261201062 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261205328 The way the giver transmits his memories is by giving the ones he was given to Jonas, when Jonas closes his eyes the giver gives him the experience of each memory he is trying to teach him. His first memory that was given was the memory of snow.]]> 2018-05-16 13:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261205328 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261206449 When Jonas says this, it means that the community leaves the members clueless about the past world beyond them. All they know is sameness, community rules, and release. They know nothing about what came before them, but with the job of the receiver, he learns that there was life long before him, which was how they knew what perfect meant to them, by getting rid of what they thought were flaws. This is a good thing because if they learned about what there was in the past, they may want to leave the community so they can experience those things elsewhere.]]> 2018-05-16 13:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261206449 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261208036 Jonas is extremely surprised because in the dwelling he lives in, these things don't exist, it's against the community. Because the receiver's job is so private and important, they get these things because privacy is super crucial for a job like that. In all of the normal dwellings, privacy doesn't really exist.]]> 2018-05-16 13:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261208036 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261209649 In the first memory, he gets the memory of downhill, sleds, snow, and runners. In the second and third memory he receives sunshine and warmth, but only in the third he has his first pain memory, using the sunshine he receives the memory of sunburn.]]> 2018-05-16 13:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261209649 zoe_rogan https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261210767 I believe that this title is significant because Jonas's new job as the receiver is being given to him by the old receiver, so he is considered the giver. He is such an important character because without him Jonas wouldn't be able to gain all of these members.]]> 2018-05-16 13:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_rogan/zoerogangivertwitter/wish/261210767
