In chapter 5 of Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Jonas’s family unit Text evidence #1 : “Usually, at the morning ritual when the shares the dreams that they family members told their dreams…” (Lowry 34). had the night before, according to the morning ritual. Jonas explains that he Thoughts: This text stood out to me because it introduced dreamed of himself and Fiona the fact that not only do families in this community tell in the bathing room at the their feelings each evening, but they also report their House of the Old. He explains dreams every morning. It is a daily ritual that they all that it made him angry in the seem to perform without any question. This is important in dream that she did not want this chapter because the whole chapter is based on to go in the tub and allow him Jonas’s odd dream that he reported to his family unit. In to bathe her, going against his addition, this is important to the plot of the story because strong feeling of wanting. it introduces more of the setting of the story. It really lets Mother explains that this was readers know how this community is programmed. This his first Stirrings and that for mainly stood out to me because it is not a typical thing to them to go away, he simply share your dreams in the morning. Personally, I would like must take pills every day until to keep a dream, like Jonas’s, to myself. For the most he goes into the House of the part, I do not really have dreams at night time, so I would Old. Jonas likes the idea of not have anything to share in the mornings. Finally, this taking the pills like everyone makes me wonder how everyone is so certain that others else, but he shamefully are telling the truth. How do they know for sure that the wanted to feel the Stirrings person is not just making up a dream or concealing one? again as they slipped away. Text evidence #2: “Finally she sat down beside him at the table. ‘Jonas,’ she said with a smile, ‘the feeling you described as the wanting? It was your first Stirrings. Father and I have been expecting it to happen to you. It happens to everyone. It happened to Father when he was your age. And it happened to me. It will happen someday to Lily.’...ATTENTION. A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER FOR  TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE…‘...You’re ready for the pills, that’s all. That’s the treatment for Stirrings.’” (Lowry 37-38). Thoughts: I found this piece of evidence to be relevant to the chapter because it emphasizes even further how controlling this community is. As soon as Jonas reveals his dream, which indicates that he might have deeper feelings for Fiona, his mother informs him about the “Stirrings” and gives him the “treatment.” I think this is really important to the plot of the story because it clarifies how the community manages to assign people spouses and children. They subside any feelings of affection towards another person so that nobody has any desire to choose a spouse of their own. I found it weird how they call the pills “treatments.” This is because it makes it seem as if the Stirrings are something bad when they really are not. This pushes aside individuality even more because it teaches children from a young age that their own thoughts and feelings are not significant.

In chapter 6 of Lois Lowry’s The Giver, the Ceremony Text evidence #1 : “When her family’s ceremony was takes place and each age completed, Fiona took the seat that had been saved for her in group receives something the row ahead of Asher and Jonas. She turned and whispered that is sort of a symbol of their independence. Gabriel did to them, ‘He’s cute. But I don’t like his name very much.’ She not become a One at the made a face and giggled.” (Lowry 43).

In fact, it Four and the name Roberto indicates that sometimes, people’s personal thoughts and was given to a newchild. Lily senses bleed through their default perspective.

Due to the fact that families are not able to name the child they are given, symbolizing her maturity. Asher Fiona expresses dislike for her new brother’s name. reveals that people can apply Nonetheless, she must keep quiet because it would be for “Elsewhere” if they believe odd for anyone to go against the decisions made by the that they do not fit into the Committee. Once again, the characters’ personal community, confusing Jonas thoughts and feelings are put aside as if they are because everything seemed irrelevant. so perfect to him. Text evidence #2: “‘...If you don’t fit in, you can apply for Elsewhere and be released. My mother says that once, about ten years ago, someone applied and was gone the next day.’...Jonas shrugged. It didn’t worry him. How could someone not fit in? The community was so meticulously ordered, the choices so carefully made.” (Lowry 48). Thoughts: I think this is important to this chapter because it once again shows that although Jonas is excited to have his Assignment revealed, he is questioning what happens if he is not satisfied with the Assignment he receives. The whole conversation begins because Jonas and Asher discuss a story about someone who was so unsatisfied with the Assignment that he swam across the river to a new community. In addition, I believe that this piece of evidence is relevant to the plot of the story because it is slowly bringing about new questions regarding the community that hook the readers. I found it interesting how Jonas was confused about how someone could not fit into the community. I found this to be ironic because he does not fit in himself, with his different colored eyes. In addition, I noticed that the community is sort of brainwashed. Jonas’s thoughts in the end reveal that the community members do believe that everything is perfect in the community, exactly how they are expected to perceive it. They completely ignore all of the red flags and convince themselves that the community is perfect, unconditionally. Finally, the fact that “Elsewhere” is capitalized stood out to me because it indicates that the community members think “Elsewhere” is an actual place. I feel like this goes to show just how ignorant and obedient they are.
