Quoter Cole Cabral

Page 108-109

"Jonas was jarred loose and thrown violently into the air. He fell with his leg twisted under him, and could hear the crack of the bone. His face scraped along jagged edges of ice and when he came, at last, to a stop, he lay shocked and still feeling nothing at fist but fear. Then the first wave of pain."

I choose this quote from the story because this is Jonas first experience of pain. From this experience Jonas was asking for pills the relive the pain. The Giver imminently said no. Now I think from this experience Jonas will second guess his section of being the receiver of memories.

Page 129

"The next morning for the first time, Jonas did not take the pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away."

I think from the memories of love and pain Jonas does not think he needs he needs the pills. Maybe they might affect his memories.

"Don't play it anymore Jonas pleaded"

From the memories that Jonas has he realizes the true meaning behind the game. Since nobody else has the memories nobody else knows any better. Nobody knows pain and hardship.

"Jonas did not want to go back. he didn't want the memories didn't the wisdom didn't want the pain"

From the memory of war and pain that The Giver gave him the last time. From that memory Jonas doesn't want to be The Giver.

"Jonas asked once, as they prepared for the day's work, don't you have a spouse? Aren't you allowed to apply for one?"

I think Jonas asked The giver this because Jonas might be worried he can't have a life being The Giver.
