Climax

In this weeks reading, a lot of new content about the story was revealed. First, we learned that the memories have had a very large effect on him. We can see this when in the books Jonas gets really emotional and afraid after seeing his friends play a game of warfare. This is due to Jonas memory of warfare. After this event transpire, Asher gets in a fight with Jonas because he had ruined the game for everyone. The next morning, Jonas finally asks the giver about the previous receiver whom name was Rosemary. We learned what had happened to Rosemary, this involved her applying for release due to her suffering as receiver. One of the most shocking discoveries was that we learned that release is death. We learned this when Jonas watched the video of the release of a little baby that father would be performing. This is when the story reaches its climax. After this, Jonas formulates a plan to stop sameness and bring back what once was. We are left with a lot of questions and I look forward to finishing the book.

"No. I have to stay here," The Giver said firmly. " I want to, Jonas. If I go with you, and together we take away all their protection from the memories, Jonas, the community will be left with no one to help them. They'll  be thrown into chaos. The´ll destroy themselves. I can't go."

In this quote we can see the book's theme is about the importance of memories. We can see this because here is shown what is the importance of memories, but specifically what is the importance of keeping them. Previously, we knew that it was an honorable job with a lot of importance, but now we know specifically what will happen if the community's protection would cease, chaos. There is also a very large importance of memories because the book explains us what knowledge can memories bring, and its big importance in our life. Later in the book, this theme is brought once again when the giver explains to Jonas that he will need every memory of courage and wisdom to complete his mission.

This book has been very interesting and have given us many information that is not fiction. For example, the importance of memory has a high importance in our world. This is significant because we need memories and experience too chose wisely in our life. The book has also taught us that we accept the reality which we are presented. This is a wise quote because it explains that this could really happen. I have greatly enjoyed this book and cant wait to finish it and discover if Jonas' plan works, and what will be the result.
