In "The Giver," after Jonas escapes the community, people likely view him as a traitor who has abandoned his responsibilities and disrupted their way of life. They may fear and vilify him for challenging the status quo and threatening their sense of security. However, some members may also feel curious or inspired by his bravery and willingness to challenge authority.
To lose The giver
the giver is the old receiver who is now giving the memories to Jonas the new receiver
The main character in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a boy named Jonas. He is chosen to be the Receiver of Memories in his community and learns about the true history of the society and the role of the Giver.
The Giver wanted Jonas to call him the Giver. This may sound odd but when the Giver said this he was still called the receiver. The Giver asked him to call him the Giver because he was no longer the receiver, therefore it was not appropriate to call him receiver any longer.
The Giver would say that Jonas had escaped to Elsewhere, which suggests that he had left the community to start a new life beyond its limits. The Giver would likely emphasize the freedom and potential for growth that Jonas now had outside of their controlled society.
The Giver believes Jonas is a good receiver because he displays qualities like sensitivity, courage, and openness to new experiences. Jonas has shown potential to understand complex emotions and memories, making him well-suited for the responsibilities of being the Receiver of Memory.
Jonas begins to see things in color because he has received memories from the Giver that have awakened his ability to perceive color. This ability was previously suppressed in the society he lives in, where everything is seen in black and white to maintain control and conformity.
After receiving his life assignment, Jonas' relationship with his parents became strained as he realized the truth about their role in the community. He also became more distant from his friends as he grew apart from them, due to the new knowledge and responsibilities he was grappling with. Overall, these changes led Jonas to feel isolated and disconnected from those around him.
The old receiver felt relieved and freed of the burden of carrying that memory. He was happy that Jonas was now able to share the pain and knowledge of that memory with him.
Jonas discovers that Rosemary was the Giver's failed previous Receiver of Memory, who requested to be released from the pain of the memories. This revelation helps Jonas understand the weight and responsibility of the role he is now undertaking as the new Receiver.
Jonas wonders about the meaning of love, family, and the complexities of the world outside of the community. He is curious about the memories and emotions he experiences and how they compare to the sterile and regulated life he lives in the community.
People begin to treat Jonas with more respect and awe, viewing him as a wise and special individual with unique knowledge. They may also become more cautious around him, recognizing his important role in the community. Some may distance themselves from him out of fear or feelings of inferiority.
