But with the fact that they are all uniform, so. They don't have violence, and they are all cared for. ]]> 2018-04-27 17:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/256115343 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/256125046 Jonas' utopia forbids the urge of romance and nakedness, for they want everyone to be uniform and prevent such things as inappropriate behavior. Such as,,some urges of puberty.





I DIED TOO MUCH DURING THIS CHAPTER.]]> 2018-04-27 18:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/256125046 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261333047 It is different from other homes because, he has more lavish furniture than any other member, even the Elders. Because, he has such a high position and honor, and he also has to concentrate of giving memories.]]> 2018-05-16 18:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261333047 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261335065 The person who is receiving the memory has to relax, lying down on the bed to focus and relax on receiving the memory. The Giver has to make contact with bare skin of The Receiver. Then the memory sharing can begin, for Jonas. His first memory was of snow.]]> 2018-05-16 18:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261335065 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261336414 Jonas believed that there was no past, because he has lived in sameness for so long, that he thought it has been like this for all these years, it is a possibly beneficial way to live, because you don't focus on your past, or your future. Only what you are doing right now, however, you may reach a point where you don't know what to do in the now, however for Jonas' society, they have a whole schedule, so they always have something to do. ]]> 2018-05-16 18:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261336414 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261338367 Jonas is shocked by this because he never had the freedom of privacy. Ever. There was no locks on the doors, he could always be heard by his family unit and speaker. The Giver and Receiver have more privacy than others, because they have such a high honor, and barely anyone needs to interrupt The Giver and Receiver, because they need to focus on their memory-sharing.]]> 2018-05-16 18:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261338367 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261339385 Snow, sunlight, and sunburn. They are all gone away because of the Climate Control system, which keeps the whole community in a cool climate, not ever needing to worry about rain, and snow. Because it would damage the crops, and otherwise ruin the community over the rain, if it started to storm. Jonas perceived these as strange, surprising, but also enjoyable and exciting..Except for the sunburn.]]> 2018-05-16 18:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261339385 isabella_mumm https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261340763 The title is important to the book, because it basically explains what the middle of the book is about, giving and receiving memories. Jonas is the new Receiver, and the old Receiver is now The Giver, this plotline is focused on in the middle of the story, most things that relate to the title all come together in the middle, or in the beginning, many book titles are symbolic, for The Giver. The symbolism is the fact that Jonas is experiencing a new chapter in his life, he is given new things he has never seen before. ]]> 2018-05-16 18:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_mumm/IsabellaMumm/wish/261340763
