  1. "And What about Fiona? She Loves the Old!".........
    "Fiona is already being trained in the fine art of release," The Giver told him. "She's very efficient at her work, your red-haired friend. Feelings are not a part of the life she's learned."

    I chose this quote because Jonas loves Fiona and now he's finding out she KILLS people too. Is it Fiona's fault? What is the problem here? Is this why Jonas agrees to the plan?

    1. I agree that it is the reason he said that he would. I think that she is the girl in he's stirrings. So that is why he will do the plan.

    2. I do not think it is Fiona's fault I feel Jonas agrees to the plan because he cares about asher and Fiona and he wants them to feel.

    3. In the book it really seemed like Fiona loved the old, but the don't have many emotions. I want to know if she knows that the shot kills them.

    1. I chose this quote because I feel like it is very emotional and beutiful, and it shows how much the giver and jonas have grown together and love eachother. Ithink it is amazing. But I also kindof feel bad for jonas because the Giver can't go with him.

    2. Yes I agree with you, but the giver has to stay.

      Delete
    3. I know that but it must hurt the giver so much to know he can not be with jonas.

      Delete
    4. I think they both should just stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Delete
    5. It is beautiful

      Delete
    6. I wish they both could go.

  3. "What About you? Do you Lie to me to"?
    " The giver is empowered the giver said he would never lie and he never has lied to jonas" The giver told him.

    I Chose this quote because i thought it was interesting because earlier in the book for his rule number 8 was you may lie and the giver said he has never lied to jonas so does that mean he honestly shouldn't lie.
    Is this a hint to jonas how he should if he ever turns in to the giver.

    1. I also think that this is a very important part of the book. I wonder if Jonas will lie to the next resever

      Delete
    2. Thought the same thing same thing hailey

      Delete
    3. But we already know that Jonas is going away so he would'nt have a reason to lie.

      Delete
    4. To some people he should lie but to the new resever he shouldn't because he will remember all of it!

      Delete
    5. I think the giver has lied to him maybe even about memories

  5. The Giver rubbed Jonas's hunched shoulders. "And after we eat," he went on, " we'll make a plan." Jonas looked up, puzzled. "A plan for what?

    The reason that I picked this one is that it is like the beginning of the uprise.

    1. I agree it makes youthink alot about what will happen next

  6. He killed it! My father killed it!... "Bye-bye little guy," Jonas heard his father say before he left the room. The screen went blank... "Well, there you are Jonas. You were wondering about release" He said in a bitter voice.

    I chose this quote because, I think that it was a very important part to see how Jonas reactes to different things.

    1. That acctually almost made me cry because does every twin get killed if there's one the SAME born

      Delete
    2. I do not like how the do a release. I was thinking the same thing as Jonas.

      Delete
    3. That is what I don't get if all they have is SAMENESS then why wouldn't they want to have some SAME people in their world.

      Delete
    4. I think it was odd how that before he saw the needle he was all happy. But it's not like he knew that the baby would die in the release part.

      Delete
    5. EXACTLY AGAIN SAME THOUGHT

      Delete
    6. I want to know what will happen if the twins weigh the same what do they do then?

      Delete
    7. I feel like that is very sad and it hurts just to think about. Especally so for jonas because his father is doing it.

    9. When I read this It made me think that the entire world is this way and they are just one tiny community. At the beginning of this book I was led to believe this was it the only area that was perfect.

      Delete
    10. I knew that they killed it but i did not know that Jonas did not know

      Delete
  7. "My work will be finished," The Giver had replied. "When will I have helped the community to change and become whole."

    I chose this because I feel that this important to the book. I also thought that it is important to their plan. The giver said he is going to be finished but with what, his life. I'm confused.

    1. I think he ment something like that, but before he does he wants to help everyone in the comunity.

    2. Yeah, they don't say what he's going to be finished with

  9. "When I was younger than you, it began to come to me. but it wasn"t seeing beyond but it was hearing beyond.....

    I think this is important because it could be a way to free the community by evoking emotion through music and overthrowing the elders helping the giver and Jonas complete their plan

  10. The Giver hugged him. "I love you Jonas," he said. "But I have another place to go. When my work here is finished, I want to be with my daughter."
    Jonas had been staring glumly at the floor. Now he looked up, startled. "I didn't know you had a daughter, Giver! You told me that you'd had a spouse. But I have never knew about your daughter."
    The Giver smiled, and nodded. For the first time in their long months together, Jonas saw him look truly happy.
    "Her name was Rosemary, " The Giver said

    I chose this quote because we just figured something out that we never knew before, that the Giver had a daughter. Don't you think that since Rosemary was his daughter that when they talked about their feelings like everyone else does he would have talked her out of it? Maybe the Giver loves Rosemary so much that he loves her like a daughter, and they're not related could that be?

    1. i agree i was wondering if it was his actual dughter or loved like a dughter

      Delete
    2. Yeah I was shocked when I read that!!! I also think they might not get there plan down because The Giver finally told Jonas that he had a daughter.

      Delete
    3. yeah me too

    4. I agree it is wonderfull yet confuzing to think about.

  11. it was crazy i bet jonas mind was blown just like every one else in the class

  12. i listened as rosemary told them she would prefer to inject herself

    i chose this quote because it reminded the giver about how rosemary released herself and how she wanted to get it done really fast because she couldn't bear the pain

    1. I understand it is so sad to think about. The Giver watched. :(

    2. Why would Rosemary want to kill/inject herself? That's crazy!

  13. Jonas had been staring glumpy at the floor. Now he looked up, startled." I didn't know you had a daughter,Give! You told me you had a spouse. but I never knew about your daughter."

    I picked this quote because I feel that The giver and Jonas will get into a fight and won't be able to finish the plan, witch would change everything.

  14. "It's no use. They'll find someone to take my place. They'll choose a new Receiver.".... "There's a female with pale eyes. But she's only a Six"

    I chose this quote because I feel it is an important part to the plan, so everyone would have the memories.

  15. "But I have another place to go. When my work here is finished, I want to be with my daughter." Jonas had been staring glumly at the floor. Now he looked up, startled. "I didn't know you had a daughter, Giver! You told me that you'd had a spouse. But never knew about your daughter." The Giver smiled, and nodded. For the first time in their long months together, Jonas saw him look truly happy. "Her name was Rosemary," The Giver said.

    I picked this quote because, It was a giant change in the story. And it was very important.

    1. You think!!! So he was the reason his daughter died, also did Rosemary no what being released was?!

      Delete
  16. Is Rosemary the given that ask to be released. But if she was then the given watched his daughter kill herself with the needle.

  17. "All done. That wasn't to bad, was it?"

    What!?!? Does he know he just killed the kid!? Was he lying when he said he had a great day at work or does he just not know what he did?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I know right, it's insane that he just killed the kid and thought nothing of it.

      Delete
  18. I think that he did not know what he did because they do not know what death is. They think that it happy thing to be released but it is not.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I am empowered to lie. But I have never lied to you.

    I choose this because the Giver is aloud to lie. Jonas can lie, the Giver can lie, Father lied, so can everyone lie? Did the Giver lie about not lieing?
