Prompt: Who are
the characters? Describe who they are, what they look like and how
they
are connected.
The main character is Jonas. He was selected to be the new receiver of memory. He is very smart and learns quickly. He is brave enough to take the painful memories but they definitely affect him. He decides that the community is not a good place and that his life in it is meaningless. He decides to look for elsewhere and give the community the memories he has received. This shows that he is caring and wise because he realizes that the community is meaningless and that if he gave them memories they would have feelings and meaning in life. He then shows that he is strong and brave by traveling across the wilderness to look for elsewhere.
The other important character is The Giver. He gives the memories to Jonas and patiently explains them. This shows that he is caring because he takes time to help Jonas even though he is weak and tired. He then helps Jonas make his plan to travel to elsewhere and give his memories back to the people. This shows that he is wise because he knows what plans will and won't work. Finally at the end of the book Jonas thinks he hears Music coming from the community. This could mean that The Giver died so he could be with his daughter and so the community would have his memories of music.
They are connected in one main way. It is that when Jonas comes up with the idea to go to elsewhere and give the memories to the community The Giver has to help him come up with the actual plan to carry this out. Jonas can come up with great ideas but he is not wise enough because he is young and does not have many memories. This is where The Giver comes in. He is very wise and can help Jonas come up with to actual plan. The Giver and Jonas make a great team.
In this blog you did an excellent job in describing Jonas. I like how you not only described him but you also described Jonas's opinions.I wonder is the Giver and Jonas related because they both have light eyes. In the movie they're making about the Giver they mention that the Giver's eyes are blue. Overall great blog.
