Blog 11: Reaction To Release

 The release was crazy. The dad told Jonas that they just send him off. Now Jonas will never see his dad the same again. Like imagine u saw your dad kill a little baby. You wouldn't feel the same ever again. That's messed up.

Blog 10: Understanding

Since it is told in Jonas's point of view it is not completely boring. Now he is getting ideas about why the world they live in now has changed. if it was told in someone else's view it would be really boring. The only people i could think that the story wouldn't be boring is if it was told in the Giver's view. But if it wasn't told in the Giver's or Jonas' it would be boring. If it was told in someone else's perspective then the whole story would change.

Blog 9: Imagine

The song Imagine, by John Legend is about a perfect world. Everyone in The Giver thinks they live in a perfect world. Jonas is realizing it isn't so perfect. The people in charge has taken almost everything away. When Jonas is experiencing all the memories, he sees how much joy and anger there is. They took a the things away to keep everyone safe. They might be safe but there isn't a lot to do to enjoy yourself. Like most sports are physical. To them it would be not safe. They wouldn't have a verity of sports they can choose from. They would play golf. I like mini golf but regular golf is so boring. I wouldn't want to play golf. They don't have a perfect world at all. There is so many problems wrong but since they are used to it they think it is perfect.
