    In The Giver, a narrative by Lois Lowry, Jonas’s father illustrates his feelings during his Ceremony of Twelve and Jonas tells about his own feelings concerning the forthcoming event. In the text it states, “‘But to be honest, Jonas,’ his father said, ‘for me there was not the element of suspense that there is with your ceremony. Because I was already fairly certain of what my Assignment was to be,’”(Lowry, paragraph 3). This segment of text elucidates the reason of Jonas’s father’s lack of surprise of his Assignment. As stated above, Jonas’s father was already certain of his Assignment, which he continues to explain to be a Nurturer. Jonas’s father explains that as a result of the love he showed all the Newchildren and the time he spent at

  • The Giver By Lois Lowry: An Analysis

    648 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Giver, by Lois Lowry portrays the discovery that a controlled society doesn’t constitute a content society; The novel portrays the life of an adolescent boy named Jonas who is given a glimpse into the downfalls of his utopian society. Seeing that with pain and loss come great joy, Jonas breaks away from the rules as he tries to find a greater good. I too find that the restraints of our society limit our ability to reach fulfillment. In the words of Lois Lowry, “We gained control of some things. But we had to let go of others”. In the modern day a rebel is often needed to break the rules and find a greater existence. I would rebel for one of three main areas that the government controls: our money, our mind, and our protection.

    Throughout the history of the world, there has been many societies. All these societies had similar structures and ideas, but they all are different by their own special traditions and ways of life. Similarly, both our society and the society in The Giver share similar ideas, but they are different in certain areas. For example, they both celebrate birthdays and have family units, but they have their own way of doing so. Based on the celebration of birthdays and the formation of family units, our society is better than the society in The Giver by Lois Lowry.

  • The Giver Conclusion

    925 Words  | 2 Pages

    Personally, I believe that Jonas and Gabriel ended up dying in the freezing cold, while starving and going insane; I also have various reasons to back this theory up. Firstly, on pages 171-172, it states that Jonas and Gabriel begin to starve; this could mean that they would also end up losing their sanity and even possibly see illusions. Furthermore, all throughout chapter 23, it explains that Jonas and Gabriel are agonizingly cold while surrounded by a snowy environment. This may lead to Jonas and Gabriel to lose their sanity and see illusions as well. At the very end of the story, Jonas is able to see “Elsewhere,” the place they left the community to search for. However, it is possible that Jonas is seeing nothing but an illusion. Along with all of this, Jonas is used to livin...
