Giver Themes

Jonas is the dynamic character in the story. Why is Jonas the dynamic character is because throughout the story Jonas is really shy and curious and confused. Sometime throughout the story Jonas starts changing his attitude. In one of the chapters Jonas shows his feelings about how feels in the beginning of the story. Like during the ceremony of the twelve when he was skipped and he was wandering why. In the quote it says “Twenty,” he heard her voice say clearly “pierre” She skipped me, Jonas thought, stunned.” (57) In that page you can see that Jonas was nervous, confused, frightened, unaware of what was going on. At the end of the story Jonas is a whole complete person. He is more brave, mindset, confident, and aware of his surroundings he understands things a lot better now that he knows more about the truth of his community. Throughout the months of being the receiver of memory. Jonas been understanding the memory's he receives at first he didn’t know about anything that was going on but now since The Giver showed him the truth Jonas want to make a change for his community and the future.

The theme in The Giver book has a strange way of telling how the world looks. In my prediction I think Jonas world is in the clouds because from the movie you could see foam around there world were it leads to elsewhere. In the book The Giver people don't have the chance to choose their own life. People from the community don't even get to make their own choices they don't even get to keep their own memories because in the book a quote says " People are weak, people are selfish when people have the freedom to choose They Choose Wrong". So the chief elder didn't want to make the same mistake for the people. Another quote says "  The worst part of holding memories is not the pain, it's the lonleyness of it, memories need to be shared". So no matter what people are gonna be selfish and weak but to keep them going they need the love and pain to understand the human race.
