https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz The people in The Giver seem like they don't question the rules of their society. They have no memory of the past, so how can they? They don't know any better. As Jonas begins to get more memories, he starts to get more angry. Why does Jonas feel this way? How does Jonas' anger connect to the quote "Ignorance is bliss?" SPICY (optional): What things do you personally wish you never knew because it made you angry or caused you pain? en-us 2020-05-06 00:59:41 UTC 2025-12-09 18:53:47 UTC hello@padlet.com eshaheed https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/554957142 I think Jonas feels this way because he starts to learn a lot of his past good or bad. He first get the good memories than he gets the bad memories. He figures the bad things with where he lives and the this makes him mad.They way he retaliates is his way of trying to fix it.Jonas's anger connects to ignorance is bliss because if he never learned about that information than he would have never been mad. ]]> 2020-05-06 14:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/554957142 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555001239 2020-05-06 14:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555001239 jabraham35 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555003726 As Jonas was getting more memories, he was getting more and more angry because he was learning about bad things that happened and it is a big surprise for him because no one else knows about these things and some of these things are bad, for example, in the book when Jonas got the memory of snow, he enjoyed it. But the weather was controlled in his society so it is making him angry in that he is seeing some very good things that his community got rid of so they could have sameness. This connects to "Ignorance is bliss in that he was happy before he got these bad memories and now he is angry.]]> 2020-05-06 14:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555003726 tmohabir https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555006100 2020-05-06 15:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555006100 rsow https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555028190 Jonas feels angry because he realizes that the society  lies and keeps secrets from the citizens. He has to deal with the physical and emotional pain without sharing how he feels or what he has seen. He gets more angry with the more memories he has seen because he realizes bad and good things have happened. The government took away some amazing things like color for sameness and he gets angry with the thought that he is one of the only people that can experience and see different amazing things. This connects to " Ignorance is Bliss" because when Jonas first gets the memories he has a lot of joy but once he thinks about the memories and feeling that he wants to share 
them he is filled with anger]]> 2020-05-06 15:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555028190 asoumah https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555064952 Jonas feel this way because like his memories the more of tham he get's the more angry he become because he feel like the govermant took stuf that people really injoyed and destroyed them so the future in the giver would be good but really it just made people aroude sad and him knowing that the govermant toke the colore out of the world that just make him angryer and angryer]]> 2020-05-06 15:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555064952 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555101302 I say that Jonas is starting to feel mad because he started to learn the good and bad things from the present and the past. He first starts to know how good life used to be as soon as the Giver shows it to him but then later on he realized the bad things because the society just keeps lying about everything and are keeping so many secrets to themself. So with all of this in his head he just starts to realize everything and gets mad because the society just took something away that is very special and that everyone needs in this world. This connects to "Ignorance is Bliss" since once he experiences and notices how great the past used to be but if he didn't learn that information he wouldn't have been angry. ]]> 2020-05-06 15:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555101302 Gurleen12 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555149442 I believe that Jonas feels this way because as his knowledge about the past, present, and future gains, he starts to become more emotional about the things he gains knowledge from. He starts to get emotional from the memories he receives because The Giver shares lies and deep secrets from the past and since Jonas disagree with these things, it forces him to become more outraged and furious. Also, since the government took away memories from people and gave all the honor to one person, Jonas has to face the fact that nobody else can experience these things which causes him huge frustration and different emotions. Jonas's anger connects to the quote "Ignorance is Bliss" because after hearing all of these things that caused him deep emotions, he feels that it was better when he didn't know so that he wouldn't have these emotions toward the present. This also connects because if Jonas never had the knowledge of the past then maybe he wouldn't have all these emotions in the present. In conclusion, this shows why Jonas feels this way and how the quote "Ignorance is Bliss"relates to him.]]> 2020-05-06 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555149442 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555150382 2020-05-06 15:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555150382 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555257810 Jonas starts to get more angry because he starts to know more things. Also, I think that he is not used to knowing many things which caused him to be emotional. It connects to the quote "ignorance is bliss" because if he didn't get the memories, he wouldn't get angry. To add on, when the giver gave Jonas memories, maybe he started to see things differently, so it would have been better not knowing the memories.]]> 2020-05-06 16:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555257810 bdolengewicz https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555262331 I believe Jonas feels angry because he feels like he knows what he has missed out on for so long, and he wanted the choice, the opportunity to say that he wanted the life that he isn't allowed to have when the book takes place, even if he wouldn't have actually chosen that. This connects to "ignorance is bliss" because when you don't have to know something that could have hurt you, you don't mind. One thing I wish I never learned was the feeling of heartbreak, or of loss.]]> 2020-05-06 16:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555262331 schandler19 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555377004 I think Jonas feels mad because he wants people to find out what he’s finding out. And i also think he’s mad because he never knew any of this stuff before and he wishes he did (well some of the stuff). Also he’s also mad because everyone is happy and they don’t feel any of the pain he feels. This connects to “ignorance is bliss” because if Jonas never found about this stuff he would just be stupid and happy like everyone else. ]]> 2020-05-06 17:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555377004 Emelyacosta https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555414584 I think that Jonas fuels more angry because as he is seeing all these memories the giver gives him he feels emotions and wishes he could have experience these memories in a better way and, he feels this way because of the good and bad memories coming from his past making him wish he had better memories like everyone else would have had too. He feels as if no one could understand his anger because he thinks no one has as bad memories as he thinks he has. This connects to the quote “ignore is bliss” since, if he had never  experienced these memories or had eve know them he would have not been this mad with his memories.]]> 2020-05-06 17:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555414584 nishmail https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555695572 I think that Jonas feels angry because the giver is bringing back good and bad memories and he doesn't like that. Jonas feels emotions that he wishes he felt in a better way.]]> 2020-05-06 19:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555695572 zkhan19 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555810052 I believe Jonas starts feeling more angry as he begins to get more memories because hes been feeling pain and completely different feeling from the rest of the community. And I believe he would wish to share these feelings but he can't. This connects to "Ignorance is bliss" because it makes Jonas experience something he has never have before however upon learning new information from the memories, he started to become angry.]]> 2020-05-06 20:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555810052 cpanameno https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555962951 The reason I believe Jonas starts feeling more angry as he was the receiver of memories because I believe he started to learn what is emotion, like what is being sad, lonely, bitter, dismal, heartbroken, somber, and sorry. I believe this because Jonas could see other peoples memories from the past. Like for example things that could help his society or he was having feeling from someone else who was going through hard time, and i think it was to hard for Jonas to handle because he wasn't use to it, but this could actually help his society because when you think about it this could help him get stronger and help his society.]]> 2020-05-06 21:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/555962951 jashandeepsingh1 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/556330542  The reason why I believe Jonas started to feel angry was because the more memories he started receiving good and bad memories from the giver the memories he got triggered him to have good and bad emotions and this cause him to wish for him to be better.]]> 2020-05-07 02:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/556330542 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/557138465 I think that the more Jonas was learning that Jonas because hes starting to have more emotion. In the community, He never has a real reason to be mad in the community before since they didn't have memories. The more Jonas learned it was like the more he saw of what was really going on. I feel like what is going on and what he is experiencing is alot for him and he is being put a lot of weight on himself. In the book, when the 12's were given their Assignments and Jonas wasn't, you can tell he started to feel stressed and really anxious. I think the Memories are stirring up emotions for Jonas because there was so much he wasn't aware  and the only way to learn of it is to go through it. (Spicy) I feel like memories are meant to happen for you one way or another. Every memory leads to another so while you might have a bad memory, because of it you might have gotten a good one out of  it.I would wish I wouldn't go through a bunch of discrimination before I'd be on the street and some one would say "Erase these N*ggas  out of here" calling out directly to me or "I'm wanna shoot a dirty a** n"gga right now." Some people just tell me "KKK is coming for you." This happens a lot to me in public when I was coming from school but now in qaurintine when I'm playing video games people in the game say racist things to me.]]> 2020-05-07 11:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/557138465 nrodriguez94 https://padlet.com/ssylvester8/luwrr511bh5dmudz/wish/557174152 I believe that Jonas feels angry because the Giver has many good and bad memories but Jonas really only likes the good one and he really hates the bad ones it is what miss Sylvester said he would wish he did not know the bad memories
