A New Beginning

Authors Note: this piece is an alternate ending to the last two chapters of the book the giver. It is  written in Gabe's point of view instead of Jonas's.

I was dreaming of sailboats drifting across waters, when a sudden lift jolted me from my sleep and I felt myself getting picked up fast and jerked upward. I felt my against Jonas as he hurried out the door of the house. Where was he talking me? Jonas strapped my into the kid seat on a bike. I felt his hand soothingly touch my back and everything went blurry and I remember seeing a swinging hammock under the palm trees, this time. I felt the rolling of the bike as Jonas started riding.

When I wake up the next time, I am sitting on the kid seat riding in a place I haven't been before. I see shrubbery and I feel the bike slowly start to decreased speed. Eventually they stopped at a place deeply hidden in the trees. Jonas picked me up holding my arms. I was wide awake and full of energy. Jonas held me close and cuddled me as he was rubbing my back I started to squirm. Then he placed his hand on my back firmly and suddenly I felt overcome with exhaustion.

It seemed that almost every minute of the day I was in the child seat. Occasionally Jonas would stop and let me down so I could toddle along and move my legs. I wondered where we were going and when we would get there.

Suddenly it became cold. It was freezing and I was shivering. Jonas picked me up and wrapped me up in his tunic. Then Jonas put his hand on my back and I felt the slightest feeling of heat. It didn’t last for too long but it felt amazing.  I can’t tell you how anxious I was to get to wherever we were going.  Finally we got to the top of the hill. And as we speed down I sensed a feeling I haven’t felt before…. Maybe it was happiness??? And the land and sky look different they were vivid, just like in my dreams. 

I felt emotion and began seeing color and realized wherever Jonas was taking me was for the better and we would be ok.

Possibilities

           

Authors note: This piece of writing is about the events I predicted would happen in the near future in the book The Giver.

Jonas is living with his mom, dad, sister and brother. He is old enough to do volunteer work, at the house of the old. He volunteers with his friends: Asher and Fiona. They are all 11 years old and the day of the ceremony of 12 is nearing. When he turns 12 he will be assigned a job which will be his life long career. The day of the ceremony happens and in numerical order the new “12’s” are assigned their jobs. Jonas's number, 19, is skipped and he is ashamed and confused. Finally at the end of the ceremony he is called to the stage to be told that his job is to be the new receiver.

                          

First, with the important job, Jonas starts to realize that the community once had, color, happiness, and weather. Also there was pain and war, and hate. As Jonas receives these memories from the Giver, Jonas starts to believe that things aren’t fair that other citizens cannot see them. ” why can’t everybody see them? Why did the colors disappear?” this quote on page 95 is the first sign of Jonas realizing that not being able to see colors is not fair.

Secondly, I believe that Jonas will make some big changes as the receiver; he already thinks things are not fair and he is a kind person. He wants the citizens to see color and to read books. He doesn't understand why only the giver can receiver can have these.

Another quote: “it isn’t fair that nothing has color!” on page 97 is another example of how Jonas thinks things are not fair. The two quotes back the reason Jonas thinks not being able to see color isn’t fair. I believe that Jonas will strive to make seeing color allowed again. He will strive to show everyone that underneath all the perfectness, there are problems and things people don’t know

Finally, My prediction is based on a book matched. In this book the society rules everything thing and the main character cassia, likes the society until she finds out more information about it. Then she wants to make great changes. The characters changes bring great change to the book and hopefully better change to the society.

            
Between the book Matched and what I have read in The Giver I believe like Matched, big changes will happen but not for the same reason. Also I believe Jonas will make a big change for the better but he will receive the worst.

Looking Closer

     Authors Note: this piece of writing is to show how the certain quotes in the book are important.

         In this book The Giver, Jonas’s the world is perfect and under control. There is no race, color, no weather, no pain, no war, and no happiness, nothing know to the community. Jonas does believe that this is all true until he is assigned a special job at the ceremony of twelve; he becomes the receiver of memory.

        With this important job, Jonas starts to realize that the community once had, color, happiness, and weather. Also there was pain and war, and hate. As Jonas receives these memories from the giver, Jonas starts to believe that it isn’t fair that other citizens cannot see this. ” why can’t everybody see them? Why did the colors disappear?” this quote on page 95 is the first sign of Jonas realizing that not being able to see colors is not fair.

        Another quote: “it isn’t fair that nothing has color!” on page 97 is another example of how Jonas thinks things are not fair. The two quotes back the reason Jonas thinks not being able to see color isn’t fair. I believe that Jonas will strive to make seeing color allowed again.
