Giver theme

 

      In the book The Giver  Jonas whom is one of the main characters has a dynamic based character, which means through the story he evolves. In the book Jonas has a very plain perspective,” i can't really think of a word to describe my feeling” pg.3 He has no words to describe his feeling because he has know perspective on this “feeling” that he has revealed. However, now since Jonas has started his training he has unlocked many different features. In the book it shows “ Days went by, and weeks. Jonas learned, through the memories, the names of colors; and now he began to see them all, in his ordinary life (though he knew that his life is no longer ordinary)... Jonas began to think he if everything is the same that would mean little choices ‘I want to wake up in the morning and decide on things’ he said”. This means that since Jonas is now noticing a new perspective he will soon notice that the old is basically miserable and that he is happy he was evolving from that, because it basically helps shape his new perspective and his character itself.




       In the book The Giver  the theme is basically about importance of memory, the past basically shapes your future and makes your decisions wiser. In the book it shows, “He then pressed his hands firmly on the little one and transferred the memory of exhaustion so he can sleep” p.168, “It's just without memories life would be meaningless.” Pg.105, and “The worst part about keeping memories is that the Lonely ones you must share them or else they cause you pain” pg.154. This shows that without his memory and him knowing the past, he would blinded to the fact he is not expressing his individuality and creativity. His own thoughts are just the thing that expresses as a real life human.
