Chapters 9- 12

What I read in the week

In these chapters Jonas life starts changing because he had been choose to be the Receiver of memory, and he needed to work alone.  Now Jonas was not allow to play with he´s friends or tell anybody about he´s assignment. Some things in he´s life where still the same like going to school, but now instead of having he´s volunteer hours now he needed to go with the Receiver. The first time Jonas went to he´s assign place of training, Jonas was scared because he was remembering what the chief elder had said about he´s work, that was going to be painful,. Jonas work consisted of receiving the memories that an old man that was called The Giver give to him.

Jonas and The Giver of memory

In this chapters we can find that people in Jonas community is restricted to do many things like for example seeing in color, here is a quote that shows that people don´t see in color "You`re beginning to see the color red" (Lowry 94). Talking about color I would like to state something out, that colors are impossible to explain because our language is not precise enough to describe them, so if you try to explain someone that is blind would not understand it if he had never seen color, thats what happened to Jonas thats why he is so confuse when the giver tells him about color.

In this chapters Lowry uses some complicated words but you surely had hear them like flesh, apartness and exhilarating.

Vocabulary:

Exhilarating: To make cheerful or merry

In this chapter I can relate to Jonas, because I´m always learning new things like he is only that he is alone, I would be really depress to not be able to talk with my friends about those amazing new things.

Something that I would really want  to find out is if the Giver is going to be realeased or something like that, because in The Receivers rules where one that said that they couldn't be realesed.

This picture shows how Jonas saw the world

because he sees in white and black and sometimes he is able to see the color red.

During these chapter I had been questioning about whats going to happened next in the book, the book is really interesting till these point because in these chapters it had been reveled that the community was controlled. Are those things like that they can´t see in colors are for elders to avoid the citizens to be able to see the real world?
