What I Read in the Week
In The Giver chapter 5 to 8, Jonas start having the stirrings, and the big ceremony of ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, sevens, eights, nines, tens, elevens, and finally the ceremony of twelves.
Jonas had start having stirrings, those are some strange dreams. Jonas would start taking the pills so the he would not have strings anymore, he´s friend named Asher took the pills too.
That day was special to Jonas, because it was the day of the ceremony. Jonas was going to be selected for he´s new job, he was exited and worried, when it was Jonas´ turn the elder skipped its tour. At the end of the ceremony they announce Jonas, he was choose to be the new Receiver.
Til these point, the book is really interesting, there is a lot of suspense.
In the book there are some mysterious characters, that I think later in the book they would pay an important role. For now some characters are not really meaningful, but later those characters would make more sense for being there.
I had been questioning in the part the Elder says what must a Receiver must have and it says something about seeing beyond. What does it really means seeing beyond? Does that has to do whith the changing apple?

In these chapters Loist Lowry uses some complicated words such as stirrings, the meaning is simple as say its a dream.
I can compare myself to Jonas when he is at the ceremony, because Jonas is really scared when the elders had skipped he´s number. I compare myself to Jonas because one day they where taking attendance and they skipped my name.
Something I had been struggling with is, what those having pale eyes mean?
I would like to state out the fact that the old man that was watching Jonas in the ceremony had pale eyes, as well Jonas did and baby Gave. Can it be possible that they have something like relationship, like something meaningful.
I had been questioning while I was reading the book, why do kids are choosen for their jobs really young?

Isabela I like your blog because you are asking questions for examples "What does it really means seeing beyond? Does that has to do with the changing apple?" I like this part because you are asking question, I also enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteYes that question of "What does it really means seeing beyond?" is about the apple, and is also mentioned in the part when Jonas is selected to be the new Receiver.
