The author writes that "Jonas stared at them. He couldn't imagine what the thousands of pages contained. Could there be rules beyond the community? Could there be more descriptions of offices and factories and committees?" (94). This quote helped me realize how oblivious and unaware Jonas and other citizens are in the community. Jonas was wondering what all the books could contain, which further shows how the community keeps its members in the dark about information that is not related to the community. ]]> 2021-02-11 18:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1193887877 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194361034 When Jonas Was thinking about how he was not allowed do discuss his training with The Giver, he thinks silently to himself "How could you describe  a sled without describing a hill and snow to someone who had never felt height or wind or that feathery, magical cold?" (113) This quote showed me that it is extremely upsetting that people in Jonas's community never got to experience the feeling of different seasons, or even experience something magical and different that makes you feel warm. They never get to experience the excitement of it snowing outside, or the wind blowing against them calmly. They never get to experience true and astonishing, life. ]]> 2021-02-11 19:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194361034 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194364969 When Jonas want to know dose the giver see all the memories the author writes that."When you receive the memories. You have the capacity to see beyond. You'll gain wisdom then along with colors.And lots more." This quote is interesting because when i think about Jonas will learn more than what he knows that he will learn more about the past and maybe the future. And he might see what happened to the community and who they really are.

The Author writes that "When you receive the memories. You have the capacity to see beyond. You"ll gain wisdom, then, along with colors. And lots more." This quote helped me know when they would be able to start seeing colors]]> 2021-02-11 19:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194369271 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194373125 When Jonas was talking about how people can not see colors Jonas tells The Giver that people should have a say in it. The author writes that Jonas wants "to wake up in the morning and decide things!" This quote impacts the text because it is showing that Jonas wants people to be able to decide what they want. This shows readers that people do not have a say in what happens as we already knew that the people in the community are given their family and jobs, but this makes me thing that Jonas will try and fix this problem and then give everybody a say in what happens. ]]> 2021-02-11 20:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194373125 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194373145 While Jonas is talking to the Giver about colours he complains about having no options. afterwich the Giver  states that "It's the choosing that's important isn't it". This quote is important because it shows  that the elders decide everything in the community and that people in the don't make their own chose. This means in that the citizens don't make any decisions of their own.]]> 2021-02-11 20:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194373145 hlm100 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194379582 The Giver was telling Jonas about his life. The giver then says "Life here is so orderly, so predictable---so painless. It's what they've chosen." This quote shows that the community is so meticulously ordered and so perfect. And it's how the committee wants it. And it's interesting because it shows that The Giver doesn't really like it the way it is, and expresses how he knows whats going to happen and how it's not that interesting.]]> 2021-02-11 20:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194379582 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194417579 2021-02-11 20:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1194417579 tbm100 https://padlet.com/fai500/s0mgsxs0vxfj6qow/wish/1195011378 when Jonas and the Giver where talking the author say's. " why can't everyone see them? Why did colors disappear? The Giver shrugged. Our people made that choise the choise to go to sameness."
