The Giver

cher242 — 2017-12-06 19:26:45 UTC

If I was Jonas, I would try to make everything back to normal. I would try to share memories to the old people because they have been on this planet for the longest. Instead of releasing babies, we should keep them to their biological parents and stop killing unwanted babies. I would want to bring back holidays and happiness. I would also encourage kids to make more friends. I personally think that every parent could have any amount of children they want and any gender they are blessed with. Instead of having only one boy and one girl. If I am able to change the rules, I would make almost everything free. Like you can ride bikes at any age, have more than two children, have regular birthdays, stop releasing babies, keep their stuffed animals, and many more weird rules they had in the book. Lastly, I would want to bring color back into this world. I would want everyone to be happy with friends and families and make Starbucks a thing. I would also bring back feelings like joy, love, zen, and many more.

If I was Jonas from The Giver, I would stay with the Giver for a longer time. I wouldn't know anything about the outside world so I would get a lot more memories. And if I stay instead of running away, I would tell other people about the memories and I would go to the people in control of the community to bring back most memories because it was useless getting rid of them. It would take most people quite a time to get used to it but once they do, They will love it. And if I ran away, I would get a huge amount of food, way more then the version of Jonas in the story. I won't know how long I have to travel for so I'd ration my supplies. I would also pack a lot of warm clothes and blankets. And once I reached the place where Jonas saw the cabins and heard music, I would gather all my strength and knock on the door. If I had some sort of knife or big branch, I'd keep it near me because these people could possibly not be friendly. I would also not try to stop the giver from being released. The giver would die but with no more receiver, no one would be able to get the memories and the memories would be released. It would be a brief moment of chaos and destruction, but eventually, the community would get the hang of it. I'd also try to make the people in control change the rules of the community if I could. The main thing I would try to change is the act of releasing people. It's just inhumane. But 1 other thing I would add is that I wouldn't only give good memories because that would still be sameness. The world has to experience everything as it builds character. And also, for the people they want to release, they should actually make an elsewhere because yet again, it's simply inhumane. I'd persuade them to do it somehow. Therefore, those are the things I would probably do if I was Jonas from The Giver.

If I am Jonas from The Giver, I would be happy and sad. I would be happy because I was picked for the rare job. But I would also be sad because I would be the only one who would remember things and know different things from other communitys. My family won't know about warfare because the community was designed to not have any because of everybody's' sameness. All people that age would look almost the same from gender to gender. The community would not know about many holidays. They wouldn't even have memories or even see colors. So if I am Jonas I would run away with Gabriel as well because he would know nothing about the old community and just learn anything from the new community. I would have to learn about all the different traditions but I would at least hear music and see colors. Not many things would be alike in the new community and so everyone would have memories, see colors, hear music, etc. This community would be way better than the older one. But I would feel bad for my family losing us. The community would have to suffer because the memories would be transferred to the fellow community members. I would hope that The Giver would try to persuade them into letting the former community member to have memories and see colors. And I would hope that there would be no more Givers or Receiver because the whole community would have colors, memories, music, and freedom.

If I was Jonas in the Giver, I would follow the Giver to the community to spread the old memories of when they had color. I would tell the community that special things would be coming their way and maybe spread happiness towards them. I would want them to have the happiness and their best memories back. And if you want to get rid of the community, there would be no point because why get rid of the community when we could create better, happier memories. And with the ability to try to let them see color, they could have a really happy life. The community would be extremely bright with all the happiness inside the community. I would also want to show the community on different ways to have fun and communicate with the others inside the community. And without me trying to help the people in the community, I would be gone and doing my own thing. Which is something I would not do. And when helping the community have happiness, I would be finding my happiness as well. I could help The Giver share the old memories and create new memories with the community. And in the actually story, "The Giver." Jonas would run away instead of try and helping out. But the community would just stay same and dull without Jonas helping the Giver to spread new and happy memories with the community. But having the community being dull wouldn't be so happy. And if The Giver and I could make up a plan to help others and the community have happiness, I gladly do that to help other people find their own happiness and wonder in themselves. I would want them to know that happiness is a wonderful things that will happen in their life.

If I were Jonas in "The Giver," I would have done something different than what he actually did. Once Jonas new about the secrets of his community, he runs away and tries to find Elsewhere. If I were Jonas, I wouldn't have done that. I would have tried to make a plan with The Giver to share the memories with community. If the memories were shared, the community would have a better understanding of where they were living. Even though the community would be chaotic, the people would know what the world actually was. The society has taken control of the people and they don't have minds of their own. I would want the community to experience the great things I experienced. If the memories of the past were released, we wouldn't go back to sameness. If the people knew about color, feelings, and much more, we would live in a much better society.

e_morente1 — 2017-12-06 19:27:42 UTC

If I was Jonas in "The Giver," I would try to make a change or a difference. When he finds out how the community he lives in actually is, he escapes to find Elsewhere, and takes a child, from the community because he can't stand a world like that. In the community, it is plain and boring without any feelings and colors. And, you were not able to choose what you do or pick your job or lover. I think that it was unfair that the Giver and the Receiver had to have all the good and bad memories, while the rest of the community didn't. I would use my memories and feelings I have and share them throughout the community to make everyone learn that there could be a better way to live (in my opinion). Though, there might be bad memories like war, starvation, no internet, the happy thoughts could make up for it. You would have many feelings, such as love, joy, and others. But in the book, it said that there would be chaos if the memories were released, like what happened with Rosemary. But, in the world today, there isn't that much chaos. Plus, everyone would have feelings and were able to experience colors. There might be sad times, but luckily there would be happy moments as well. That is what I would do if I was Jonas.

k_rang — 2017-12-06 19:27:50 UTC

If I was Jonas in The Giver, I would feel the same in the community and I want to change. So, I could see different things like colors and feel the right emotions and know different words as I learn through training. So, if I did try to change everything, it wouldn't effect anyone or anything because everyone just followed the rules and don't want to change. For example, the Receiver and the Giver had to get all the pain of the memories because it would effect the community if the painful memories were released out to the community or when Jonas had Gabriel in his room, he gives memories to Gabriel and says to Gabriel that he wished that things would change and not always be the same, so he sneaked out of the community, with Gabriel looking for the right place for change. So, the point is, if I was Jonas, I would want to have change and try to change everything and if that doesn't work. I will find a way to change everything because I wouldn't like to live in a place where everything is just the same and not different. But, I wouldn't have ran away like Jonas did, if I couldn't change anything I think I would release the memories to change everything so, they wouldn't be so blind.

n_shergill1 — 2017-12-06 19:27:52 UTC

If I were Jonas in The Giver, I would've done something different from what Jonas did. After Jonas realized what the world truly was, he ran away and tried to find some place where life wasn't under such tight rule and perfect order. I wouldn't have run away. Being Jonas would mean that I'd be the Receiver. The Receiver is supposed to store all the memories of colors, happiness, pain, and different climates. If I was Jonas, I would release those memories. In the book, it is said that the world could become chaotic if the memories were released. I would've been okay with the chaos, because while that would be happening, people would realize what the world truly was. I would want everyone to experience colors and feelings. I would want all the people to know what pain and having a family felt like. If I could see the wonders and beauty in it, I feel like most of the people might see that too.

If I am Jonas in the Giver...

AsianAiden — 2017-12-06 19:27:56 UTC

If I was Jonas in the Giver, I would be confused and mad. I would be confused because, I would see the world differently and the other people wouldn't understand why I saw the world differently. I would also be mad because, people would think I am crazy and would think that somethings wrong with me. I would be happy if I met The Giver because, he would be the only person who would understand what I see through me eyes.
I think that everyone is always following the rules and commands and that make it not special. I needed to do something that would change it and make it more interesting. I mange to change the things through my eyes but, no everyone else's eyes. I couldn't even convince my best friend Asher that I saw the world differently. When I met the Giver, everything changed because, I met someone that actually new how I saw the world.
I tried to change the things in world because, it would get boring if every year there would be a ceremony when you go up one digit in your age. When I found out that the Twelve Ceremony was the last of the ceremonies, I was in shock. That was actually surprised that they had something interesting.

l_gonzalez22 — 2017-12-06 19:28:03 UTC

If I was Jonas in, The Giver I would probably have done the same thing when he took Gabriel with him and left his community. But I also might have taken Lily my sister with me because I would not want her to grow up in that community and live through the sameness. I know that I did not want to live there so I would have taken someone who is young with me so they do not have to go through the sameness that I had to go through. I agree with Jonas on the part where he left his community before Gabriel was released, one thing I would have done differently was ask my dad in private what being released so he knew when I left I had a reason to go. Another thing I would have done was apologize to Asher and Fiona again about crashing their game the other day, even though they probably knew he felt bad. Something I would have done before I had left was say goodbye to Lily and my parents, but lie to them and pretend I said goodbye because I was going to sleep. I also would have probably took more food for me and Gabriel so we would not have been so hungry after a couple days with no food. A couple other of things I would have done if I had been Jonas in the Giver was Ask for more memories from the Giver because I had used a lot of them when me and Gabriel left the community, I would have asked for warm and cold memories. Finally I would have made sure that when I left I would try and make my new community a better place and not like my last home where everything was ordered and the same, I would try and make it better by changing sameness and showing everyone there are different things other than the same lives, I would want my new home and everyone in it to live the same lives.

"The Giver"

j_nguyen51 — 2017-12-06 19:28:15 UTC

If I was Jonas in "The Giver", I would be upset and mad, because I would have to be lonely, people would not understand what I mean when I see changes in people all of sudden, but I would see beyond. I would be quite happy for the honor, but I would still be upset of knowing the things in the past has gone and changed, I would also be happy for the wisdom given, without the wisdom, the whole community with go crazy. I would most importantly try to convince people how bad release is and why you shouldn't plan for your own release unless you really actually know what it means, I would want to convince the Elders that you should allow the children to see the releases, they would need to understand the reality of life, they should not see the same thing and if there actually just wasn't enough space for the children to see release they should actually extend the room as they said in the story, so I agree with the story for this problem. I would try to convince the Elders to have people live their life even if they are two alike twins. It is very unnecessary to have a child to not live their life and instead die pretty peacefully only because their is two alike twins, to solve this I would tell them to just change their names, and if the set of twins are a boy and girl, it will be fine, but if it is the same two genders, it is still very unnecessary to kill a newborn child, all you can do about that is just to change their names. If I were Jonas, their would be a lot of changes I would want to make, I would like to give away the peaceful and painful memories given to others so they can have the wisdom to support the Elders actions. After my training, I would not wan't to have release, I would like to live my life and continue it. I would have told the Giver that I had transferred some memories to Gabriel on Accident before he had wanted release, so then he would know that Gabriel might be the next possible receiver of memory. These are the changes and how I would be If I were Jonas.

If I was Jonas I would first check out all the things that I wasn't able to see when I was "normal". When I was done with that I might have done something else then from my normal routine. Then I might think about how to share this gift with other people that I know. After that I might try to find a way to tell the elders that all memories are good. Yes some are bad, but they teach people new things, a way to be happy. If they decline I might get the help of The Giver and show them good memories of the old world. What it was like and what events happened in it. Those memories might shed a light that not all memories are bad and let the town have new and better memories. After that, I might request that they should learn about mistakes. Reason is because they would learn what to do better and what not to do, to learn from their mistakes. There would be many more memories but before everything else I would first show them color with the help of The Giver. He would show them what color was like and not all colors are bad. This might shed a light in them that memories are not all bad and some should be let free. That we might not want o only see in a black and white colors. That there should be some light in our life to lead us to the way of the future. Some more things that I'll suggest are that we ally with some of the other "communities". This will give them more people and more food, so that over population won't be so bad anymore. Finally I will most likely suggest that there should be no releasing and other picking your job for you. The reasons for these are that without releasing older generations can tell stories about their generation and what it was like. Letting people picking their own job will also help, because they like that job and probably put a lot of effort onto the job. If they decline these request I might try to free them myself and if The Giver wants to support me. I try to give everyone a memory of color so that they could remember color first. If I can't oh well, I'll have to find a way around it. After that I might try to get info on how to release all the memories and do it. I would try not to scare anyone about my own life unless it is very necessary to do it or leave the "community".

m_poncetorres — 2017-12-06 19:28:22 UTC

If I was Jonas in "The Giver " I would try to get the peoples colors back to them and I would try to help them live a better live. So I would not just can't keep the secret to my self about they have their fate sealed. I would try to help them get their memories back and to make them all different. Also, if I do nothing everyone would just be the same and everyday it would be the same thing. Waking up, eating, getting dressed. I would make everything different not normal in their lives and ask the Giver to give back their memories. I would try to not take my pills and try to let all the pain out of my body. I would not just sit their watching what will happen next because we have to learn to bring all the pain in and try new thing.

If I was Jonas in The Giver

s_choopratheep — 2017-12-06 19:28:23 UTC

If i was Jonas from "The Giver" I would try to warn people and if they didn't listen I would just let them do what they wanted to do since they want their fate is already sealed to them. I would just try and escape and run away from a place like that since I know what is happening. I wouldn't sit and just watch bad things happen when I know it bad i would try to prevent when people got released. I would also try to give them the memories that I knew and let them see colors and have more feeling instead of acting like complete zombies following something they don't realize that is bad. I would also want the people on the island to try and revolt to the people in charge of the whole thing that is happening in the world. The next thing you know the whole world is full of color for everybody. Then I would help people recover after they got the memories since it is so much to take in. I would take in a lot of memories and after i am done being the receiver I would give all of the memories to all of the people so they learn the truth, so they are not blind of everything, and so they could finally see how beautiful the world is. I would try to stop everything bad that would happen and change all of the rules. It is going to be a big adjustment for the people since they had been following the rules their whole lives. People can't just live a life of happiness, their needs to be something in life that is negative, no matter how hard you try you cannot just live life like that. There is no such thing as peace in world since there is always conflict. That is what i would do if i was Jonas from "The Giver".

j_izumi3 — 2017-12-06 19:28:32 UTC

If i was Jonas in the giver I would have tried to change the way the system they lived in worked. I would have tried to convince the people into knowing and excepting the truth. I would try to give memories back to people, and also colors. I would try to convince the Giver to convince the committee to let people have those things. I think this because it is unfair that they could not see colors. Even if the Giver denied I would still try anyways. It would be beneficial for every one because it would make life more enjoyable and they would know what words like love and pain really mean. That is what i would have done if I was Jonas in the Giver.

If I was Jonas in The Giver I feel like I could have handled things much better as I would have not taken Gabriel with me to the hill as in in the end they both died. What I would do is stay and let Gabriel get killed it is harsh but worth it. In the time I am there I could try to change through different means. As once I left I would supply many things that would give me memories of warmth and still let me get to the hill without potentially dying. Using this to my advantage I am using items that would create more memories warmth which could help me pass through the cold. But going back to the beginning I would try to understand more. As I am now allowed to lie and tell direct questions or rude questions. I would ask people many questions on how everything works. As I know that I am going to the world with only the memories and knowledge of Jonas. What I would do is go and ask about how everything works and why this happened and such. After I have gathered my information I would get more memories transferred by The Giver and finally release all the memories once I get to elsewhere. That's what I would do as I feel Jonas could have stayed and taken in more memories and could have really taught everyone the truth about the community and finally let them see what they should see such as colors, snow , feelings, love and everything else. That's what I would do as I feel that I could really get the community to get back memories of the harsh world with colors and feelings and such as I feel that getting more memories and releasing them all to the people they would get there share of the memories and I could find out what elsewhere is and what's really there. By also using the memories I get from the giver I could share all the pain staking memories and show what they have left on one person to take. This would show the people that the community isn't right and should change. That's what I would do or a summary of what I would do if I was Jonas In The Giver.

KaylebN — 2017-12-06 19:28:46 UTC

If I was Jonas in The Giver, I would most likely break most of the rules because I taught my brother how to ride a bike. In my family, it's my two brothers, my mom and dad, and then me. Your supposed to have a mom, dad, and two children. I would be confused because the rules were all complicated. When you turn a Nine, you can't have your hair in pony tails anymore, stuff animals, and things for a One through an Eight. I would want to ask the community to adjust some of the rules, and also bring back colors. Also, I would tell the community to make things fun instead of being plain and boring everyday. I wouldn't like doing the same things on an everyday basis. If I was Jonas at The Ceremony of Twelve, I would be super surprised to find out that I was chosen to be The Receiver because it is the highest ranking role.

The Giver

a_rahmaan1 — 2017-12-06 19:29:05 UTC

If I was Jonas I would try to break away from all of the sameness, and everything is the same all of the time. I would try not to be "normal" like everyone else. If I had Jonas's gift I would try to show other people colors. I would try to give back the memories of grandparents, and war so they would understand conflict and pain. I would show them how life was with animals and snow. I would try to set them free. If I'd needed to run away, I would have taken Gabriel, because he would have had died. I would have asked The Giver to come with us, even if he would have said no. I would have told The Giver about me transferring memories to Gabriel right away because then he would know that Gabriel could also be a Reciever. I would have felt bad for all of the people because they couldn't see colors and they didn't remember all of the good memories. There would be no colors at all for anyone except for me and maybe the Giver or Gabriel so life would be bland and dull. People had no choices who they wanted to marry, where they want to work, or even what clothes they wear. Everything is assigned, in order and there is no divorce or conflict. Also if I was a Reciever I would have tried to find out as much as I could about how the community worked, and I would go straight to my "Father" after watching the release and I would confront him because I can lie, and/or ask anything and they would have to give me an answer, as in the rules I had gotten. I would have tried to prevent people from killing babies, the Old, and any other people that they would have killed if they asked to be released. Another thing is that I would have tried, if I hadn't run away, to make it so that people can choose who they marry, choose who their kid is and have more than 1 boy or 1 girl.

That is what I would have tried to do if I was Jonas in The Giver.

The giver

j_nguyen53 — 2017-12-06 19:29:12 UTC

If I was Jonas in the giver, I would attempt to change the community. I would want to make a difference in the community. If i got that gift that Jonas got, i would attempt to make some differences in people lives. There were some things that weren't so good in the community. No one had any memories so I would want to fix that problem about the people having not a single memory. People should have memories to enjoy in their life. Instead of having no memories to enjoy, there should be memories to enjoy in life. Sometimes memories would be bad, but that is okay because you can remember what you did wrong or something bad and never repeat the bad things. There was also no color. So , if I was Jonas I would try my very hardest to bring back all the colors to the people. There were no colors which meant that the community was very boring and blank which is never a good start to your day. You would want to wake up and go to work if there was colors, but if there were not colors in the world what would be pretty and nice. There would be no choice on clothing and things if there were no colors on the clothes or whatever it is you want to get. If some of the things I said was alive, there would be more feelings. There wasn't that much feelings because there was nothing to have feelings about. At least not good ones. In the Giver, it would have been better if there were more good feelings. There should always be colors and memories to enjoy. In the Giver there was none of those things. So, if I was Jonas I would try to change those two things.

If I was Jonas in The Giver, I would want to share some of my memories that was given to me. I'd want to share memories that include different emotions or feelings. I'd also try to persuade the community to bring back color, no more sameness, climate, to change some of the rules, and bring back holidays. Even though I know those things can effect the community's living, it's better than everything being the same, and boring. I'd work very hard during my training hours, but I would also feel lonely and sad. Being the receiver requires alone time and quietness. It could also cause me to lose some of my friends. I might also give some memories to Lily and my parents even though it is against the rules. I'll also try to gain more courage. I'll follow my assignments and try really hard to follow my rules. I'd also feel very scared and heartbroken when people would get released. I probably would try to warn people about the release without getting caught. I'd also try to bring feelings back like love. I also think Jonas shouldn't have ran away because he holds many important memories. Jonas running away didn't make a difference in the community so it wasn't really necessary. I do think Jonas should have confronted the community to stop killing when someone is being release, that's just brutal and cruel. I do think the community didn't want the community to overpopulate in case of starvation and hunger.

If I was Jonas in The Giver, I'd want to make a difference in the community by utilizing the memories I'd received from the giver. By utilizing I mean by sharing the happy memories or the memories that can make them see color. If I showed them the bad and horrifying ones they would probably have freaked out and some might have asked for release. I would ask the Giver to help me out by convincing the elders, the people who run the community, to change some of the rules that I thought were wrong and really unnecessary. Some of the things I would change is the age ceremony and how they don't get to choose their own job so they would experience and choose things on their own. Another thing I would bring to the table is the ability to see color and add back climate change so things wouldn't be so boring and stagnant so things would look more pretty. If things were changed I would help them along with the giver get through the memories and different emotions that they would be going through. Even though there were good rules in the community I felt like the bad rules outweighed the good rules so changing the rules would be better in the long run.

If I was Jonas in The Giver and I received that gift that he had received I would have attempted to do something. I would have tried since the way that the area was being controlled wasn´t normal it wasn´t how life should´ve been, people had no freedom. You had to follow the rules since it was ¨right¨ nobody knew right from wrong, they only knew how the rules were set. The people didn´t get to allow to choose their jobs. At the ceremony of 12´s they would be assigned their roles according to what people think was best for them also the parents were not allowed to choose their own kids names which was very unnecessary. If i was Jonas I would share all the happy fun memories that were given to me, to show how things were like back then with freedom. Yes there were pros and cons with those memories but it is still better than living in a very controlling community with set rules never changing no matter what the people say. Overall I think that the community that the people were living in was not set correctly and not normal I think that the people there deserved more freedom to do what they want and have color and that is why if I were Jonas i´d use the memories given to me to try to change the area for the better. But if i did give the memories i´d first explain how they aren´t all good.

v_ross — 2017-12-06 19:41:16 UTC

If I was Jonas in The Giver I would do the same thing leave the community so the people can feel pain. I would give it all my power to spread the memories secertly to everyone in the community. I would also break all the rules in the community if I have too, so everyone can have memories. I would even try to convice the Giver to convice the elders to change the rules about memories. If that didn't work I would just take all the memories from the Giver and then perform suicide, because I know it would go to everyone instead back the Giver. I can also tell the true's about every secert about the commmunity and then they'll end up killing me for breaking the secret and then all the memories would also spread to everyone for killing me. So it's a win win for me to change the community and history, and it makes it faster than pasting it down one by one. The only reason I keep saying death is because I want to make everyone have fear and change how they act so they can stand for themself

If i was Jonas in the Giver I would try to save everyone in my community from being released. The Giver gave me memories with feelings. My job is to store those memories. In those memories it shows pain,happiness, and many other colors than black and white.0

If I was Jonas then I would give everybody their memory back because it would be scary to hold the memory of death.It would also be scary to have the memory of death and die at the same time. So if I was Jonas then I would do what is necessary even die to give back their memory and turn everybody normal. If that didn´t work than I would ill myself and the memories would flood back into the people because there is nobody to keep the memories so that is what will happen if I was Jonas.

If I were Jonas in the story, "The Giver", I would try and help save everyone. I would make everyone be able to see colors again, and i would try to bring back memories to the old people because they deserve to remember. I would also try and make all the rules happy and fun. A world with very strict rules limits the imagination and imagination is everything. A world with killing is a world of darkness. I would prevent people from killing babies that are unwanted. Everything ever made on the world is a beauty. Imagination allows everything to be beautiful in its own way. That's why being able to remember memories and to see colors is so important. Not having an imagination or being able to remember memories or to even be able to see colors its like saying what is love. No imagination is not being able to fantasize or have exquisite dreams, and that is why I would bring back colors and memories. In the world Jonas lived in, everything is in place and proper. Jobs are assigned to certain people and certain people deserve to die just for the littlest things you can imagine. That world is a world filled with corrupt leaders so i would get rid of all of the leaders in the world that Jonas lives in. Being able to choose your own job is another factor of having an imagination. I would also make sure that everyone sees the real world. If there are bad memories, the community needs to know the difference of bad from the good. Knowing the bad will make people corrupt but knowing the good will make people good. The world cant always be all fine and dandy. The world needs to see good people and the bad people. Having both good and bad means that there will have to be order. This means that the community will have better leaders. The community that Jonas lives in is very bad and corrupt. When he ran away with Gabriel, I agree with what he did, but i would have taken my family. If I where Jonas at that moment, I would not have wanted my family to grow older in a community that'll just kill unwanted babies and trouble making people and also old people. If I weere Jonas, I would change everything and stand up to make a change. If the committee didn't agree with my ideas, I would gather and create a rebellion within the community. Why would I do that? Because the committee can't control everyone at once. Once the rebellion made the committee, I think they would be powerless and we would overthrow them. With them overthrown, I would become one of the leaders of the community because I was the person who started the rebellion. With the community in my control, I would tell my single community to overthrow every single community all over the world, one by one. Now with all the communities being overthrown, I now have control of the entire world. Now with the entire world under my control, I'm able to change the rules and laws all over the world. Changing all the bad rules and laws to good ones will make the world good. Giving the world the ability to have imagination, it would make some corrupt and some good. The living world that I live in has both the good and bad. With the Light and the Dark. Even though the world I live in has bad and good, I still see it as a good community. Every Kingdom, city, town, Nation, or even a person is challenged by the bad. Being challenged by the bad will make you stronger. Its like the song, "What Doesn't Kill Me Makes Me Stronger". That song says that the bad can't kill you, unless you let it kill you. The new waking world that I have created has to work together to oversee, win and even lose (sometimes) towards challenges. Having a wider, stronger and loving community will allow the imagination to run free and allow every single person to live with freedom, even if the bad people have an imagination. Everyone still has a place in their heart where they melt, blush, and soften at. This means that everyone has a good side. With everyone having a heart means that, "The Waking World", I created will learn to love and work together as a team.

If I were Jonas, the first thing that I would do is give everyone their memory back. If they didn't have color, it would be very plain. When The Giver gave Jonas feelings from sunburns and the cold, I would try to make the community have that feeling. I would also try to change something a bit, so that it wouldn't look as boring. They should have more emotions like sadness, or excitement. I didn't like how the rules had many restrictions. For example, you can't just choose an assignment, they choose it for you. Or like you can't get a bike whenever you wanted, you had to wait until age nine. Bringing back the bad memories was also important because they wouldn't know how to experience pain or other things. Bringing back the bad memories might change something about the community. It might change something that's very huge. Repeating your whole day, seeing no color, and feeling also little emotion can be very boring.

If I was Jonas

If I was Jonas in "The Giver" I would of tried to convince people to see the world differently, than seeing it in a plain and dull way. I would try to convince them to see colors, like Jonas did, thanks to the giver. And I would of got the help of the giver, because without him, Jonas would of never saw colors. If people saw colors, they would definitely see things differently and that would of fixed the problem of seeing things in a dull and plain way. I also thought that maybe if I was Jonas, I would have tried to give people memories, even the sad ones, because people should know what happiness feels like but should also have tough and sad times because you can't just have one emotion. You have to have more. And I thought that Jonas should have never run away. I think that because you don't just run away from your problems like that. You have to solve your problems, even talk to someone if you have to. Like Jonas should have talked to the giver more about his problems. But you should never run away from something or your problems. You can easily solve them because every problem has a solution.
