Jonas's world is not perfect at all, even our would is not perfect. Jonas's world is missing color, music and overall happiness. Jonas ran away because he felt that his world was wrong. I would have done exactly what Jonas would have done, because I also think that Jonas's community was wrong.
Music is a big part of my life, if there was no music in my life then I wouldn't be the way that I am today. I hear many different kinds of music every single day of my life, I hear music at school, and at home and usually in any other places that I might be for example the store, in the car and church. My favorite kind music is pop music, because is usually cheerful and it cheers me up when I am sad. I think that Jonas's community has no music, because people could like different kinds of music and that could effect the sameness and I think that the community thought that it would be a distraction for everyone in the community.
How would the story be different if Jonas told it in his own words? What if the narrator were completely omniscient and knew much more than everyone in the community? The story would be different because it would be in a completely different point of view. An the verb phrase would change from Jonas to I. The main reason why the narrator tells the story is because he/she is completely omniscient and can explain the story well.
I think that Jonas has a strange relationship, for example Jonas tells the Giver a lot of personal things about him, but the giver doesn't tell Jonas many personal things, so I think that Jonas trusts the Giver, but the Giver doesn't trust Jonas.
Have I ever had to wait until you were a certain age before you received a specific thing or a privilege? TimelineWhen I was born I received my family
When I was a few seconds old I received my name When I was 5 I received a bike When I was 7 I received my first Hamster When I was 8 I received my first holy communion When I was 9 I received my phone When I was 11 I received my Dog When I was 12 I received a locker When I was 13 I received the privilege to be called a teenager Do i have any idea yet about what i want to be when i become an adult? What PARTICULAR talents skill and interests do i have? What profession makes use of such skills? If my parents were going to decide my future, which career do i think that they would choose for me? Would I agree with it? When I become an adult I would like to be a Veterinarian because of my endless love for animals. I like to draw and write, but I also like to play with my Dog and my Chickens, my house is filled with animals because I convinced my family to be friendly with animals. I think that I should become a vet because it is my dream to see lots of animals everyday. I think that my parents would want me to become a doctor, because my Dad is a doctor and because I also love science. I would agree and not agree with them, I would want to be a doctor because you can save millions of lives, but just one mistake and and you can kill millions.
I predict that Jonas's father will bring home the child to stay with them for a a little while and they will end up loving him and treating him like a member of their family. They will eventually keep him secretly so that he is not released.
This past summer I went to Costa Rica and it was completely different from New Jersey. I felt like I was visiting a whole new planet. It was probably the most beautiful place that I have ever been to, but it was so different from my home in Franklin Lakes New Jersey, that it felt strange. Almost every person that I met spoke Spanish, so I did not meet many new people, I did try to speak to introduce my self in Spanish, and the person did understand me until he started to say a lot of words that I did not know and he spoke very fast. My Family stayed in a villa on the top of a mountain with a few other villas. We also visited a small town at the bottom of the mountain called Cocoa Village, and thats where I really noticed how different Costa Rica was. Most of the people living there had little money and their houses were very small compared to ours. I could also tell that there was a lot of crime there because all of the windows had bars on them and all of the fences had spikes on the top of them. Seeing this town made me realize how lucky I am to have money and to go to a good school and to have a house in good shape. Costa Rica was very different and it made me feel very strange and even a little stupid, but it changed my life forever because it made me realize how lucky I am.
