Ceremony of twelve The Giver

Jonas is a boy that lives with his family in a community were each family get assigned one boy and one female. they have an important ceremony at the age of 9 and at the age of 12. At the ceremony of twelve each kid gets assigned a job but before you could get assigned a job you have to have volunteer hours. Jonas has hid volunteer hours on many places. Once he went to the old people and they were talking about the realizing that is like when you die or something. This is a really strange society with lots of secrets to tell.

I have a connection from the giver and Truman Show. I think that the Truman show and the giver are very similar on many ways. one thing is that everything is set up on Jonas community and alsaw in Truman life.For Truman there is Christoph that controls everything that Truman does. On the community there is a speaker that talks to the people there. When the pilot started to go close he get released. "When Truman was close to escape he was being said that there is a problem so i think there is a secret there.

Jonas is a  boy that is very nervous about the ceremony of 12. I don't know why he hasn't decided what job he wanted. Another question i have to the book The Giver is kind of a prediction too. Is Gabe something important for Jonas and  for the society. I think that Gabe has a connection with Jonas is somewhere. I alsaw think Jonas is going to find some secrets about his society and Gabe. Read my next blog!!!! This book makes me put my head and focus very good.

  3. Ignacio to start I want to say that you made a really good blog. Your paragraphs were really well done and they were really clear. I agree with you when you said that Gabe was going to be important to the community and to Jonas, even thought that Gabe will stay with Jonas family temporally and that they told hem not to get attached with him . I also agree with you that the book is really similar to The Truman Show, they both movie as book have many things in common.

  4. I was asking a similar question about Gabe myself which was if Jonas had similar problems through childhood given that Jonas and Gabe are strangely similar in various ways, although after reading more through the book I realized that they were similar because Gabe could have been a candidate for the assignment Jonas was selected to do.

  5. Ignacio, while reading the book I wonder the same thing you did. I also think baby Gabe and Jonas are related in some way, but many people in the community are because they have the same birthmothers. Do you think Gabe and Jonas are one and only and could represent something important in the community as Jonas did in the ceremony of twelves?
