The Giver 1-5

Jonas had feeling, December was coming and he was frighten, no that wasn’t the word to describe it. Last year he was frighten when he saw a plane flying near the community. He was feeling apprehensive, about what was coming out. He is very concerned in his vocabulary. When he came home, at dinner, the family shared about their feelings of that day. Lilly started and she said that she felt angry because the sevens weren’t following the rules. Everyone in the family shared and Jonas told that he was frightened about the ceremony of the twelves that was coming in December.  The ceremony consisted to choose twelves their future job, the community chooses everything for them, but the father that works with newborn Childs said that he can secretly know the names of the babies before the ceremony of the ones.  When you turn a certain age such as nine you are given a certain object, in this case a bicycle but for the twelves this was a very important ceremony for their new assignment. The elders were the most important ones, the old people of the community, the receiver was the head of these ones, and they were ones that accepted the laws. Animals such as an elephant were considered fantastic species that doesn’t exist. The father took Gabriel, a baby, home this was illegal. He wasn’t assigned to that family neither other but he needed care. When Lilly saw Gabriel he saw something in his eyes, they were similar to Jonas. Lilly fell in love with the baby. She said she would like to be a birthmother but this wasn’t viewed well in the community. They can just give birth to three and after that they will do other labors. The speakers always said what was wrong in the community. One day Jonas took an apple from school home because he saw something changed he didn’t knew what but it changed so he took it home to observe it. The volunteer hours were the ones that they can choose what to do Jonas, Asher and Fiona went to the house of the olds were they spent their time. In side there was the bathing part were just babies and old people can be naked or it will be against the rules. At last in breakfast the family shared about their dreams. Normally Jonas didn’t share his but this time he did. He dreamed with Fiona, he was trying to convince her to go inside the tub naked in the house of the olds. He had the feeling of wanting even though he knew it was wrong. Her mother told him this was called stirrings, she told him that this happened to all and since know if he wouldn’t take that pill to stop that feeling it will be considered of breaking a rule. He liked that feeling but after taking the pill  he forget about it.
