The Giver…

In the last 3 chapters it has been shocking! It was Jonas moment, the day that he has been waiting for a long time. That day was the day of ceremony of twelve. In the community they had numbers has names, when your in birth they tell you by number to your parents so Jonas was number 19.they went on order,  Asher was 17 and Fiona (the  girl of the dream… that became stirrings) she was 18. Jonas was very nervous because he next. But something happened… they have skipped Jonas they went directly to 20. Jonas biggest fear have become true, he was really shocked and every time they told other person their assignment his hear was going of more and more.  He could even see his parents because they would be ashamed. So the ceremony ended and he didn’t understand why he wasn’t assigned what did he do wrong? So they were going to go to their parents and the women that was giving the assignment and remembering their childhood, and she said that Jonas haven’t been assigned and she told Jonas to come to the stage and she said that Jonas have been “selected” and Jonas was saying in his head selected in what? So she said that he has been selected to be the new receiver and the biggest elder. She said that he had all  qualities that he needs to be the receiver, intelligence ,integrity, courage and wisdom but he doesn’t have it yet because on the training. And there was other quality that he needed but she said that no one the community will understand it but the old receiver said that Jonas  already had it. Jonas was happy and freaking out! Happy because he is not been ashamed of not been assigned but he was freaking out because the receiver was always alone, a part of the community he was never going to see his family again. And the training to be receiver is going to be the harder training because is physical pain and mind pain. So he has to be strong because is going to be hard.

“Jonas has been selected” when the lady said that Jonas was very confused because he didn’t know what was happening. When I was reading the book and say this quote while I was reading I kept thinking what would Jonas has been selected I was having the same reaction because I couldn’t know if it was a bad or good thing.

“Jonas.” “The training required of you involves pain. Physical pain” “you have never experienced that. Yes you have scraped your knees in falls from your bicycle. Yes you crashed your finger in a door last year.” When she was saying this to be honest I was very nervous Jonas even if it was a book. I think that Jonas heard those words he must have felt really nervous because it wasn’t similar or is going to be similar. Is going to be one of the hardest thing a person of the community could do. This were one of the most interesting that might happened in the ceremony and in the book, it’s a big step. For everyone because no one have experienced so much pain and a boy of 12 years going to have experiencing this pain and he is going to experience it.

In conclusion Jonas is going to do a lot of things that will change his life for ever. Also in one part the lady said that there was other person few years ago that was selected to, and they thought that he was going to be the one… but he failed and h e already had its physical already have suffered and yet and wasn’t going to be the receiver. All of the elders where ashamed that, that person was the incorrect. So they told Jonas that they hope that he is not going the shame. But Jonas in the other hand didn’t want it because he didn’t want to be apart of the community or to be alone all the time. Yes it’s a great privilege to be selected to be the next receiver but he didn’t want to do it. He was feeling really nervous.in my prediction of what is going to happen is that Jonas will already be in the training and he will escape because he didn’t want, and he is going to safe Gabe because they were going to release him because he was different.
