“One of the children raised and imaginary rifle and made an attempt to destroy him with a firing noise” “Pssheeew!”


This part of the book makes me think a lot of the real world. Jonas have all the right to ruin the game because they didn’t know what they were playing, the only one that know about what it is about is Jonas. He instantly relates to the memory of warfare The Giver transmitted him that’s why he reacts like this. I can infer that Jonas was very angry with everyone who was playing the game or seeing since warfare is a real world issue in which now in days the world is suffering about this situation. This quote also shows me that Jonas didn’t want them to play this game because he doesn’t wants to have any relationship with a memory that has been hidden. During my reading of these pages I knew Jonas after this situation would start to take a decision to be released or something similar. After all, Jonas never rebel the memory of warfare, he knew how to stay serene and focus on his rules. 


In this few chapters there have been important events that had led to the escape Jonas and The Giver planned. As Jonas is describing his plan it sounds great because he even think of the role of The Giver. I can predict that Jonas planned would finally be successful and that the community would lose sameness. The best part of the story have been this one since in these few chapters have been the latest events of the rising action that led to the turning point. To conclude, I would like to keep reading the book because I want to know the final events and what about the life of each character.
