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.
