Release...

It wasn't a normal day in Jonas’ society, it was an UNSCHEDULED HOLIDAY! Jonas went to look for his friend Asher and he found him playing in the park with Fiona and other kids. When he got closer he realized they were playing a war game. Jonas told Asher to stop playing that horrible game but Asher didn't understand why. That night, Father told the rest of the family that the next day will be a very important day because he will release one of the 2 new born twins. The next day in Jonas’ training, the Giver told Jonas about the fail of the last Receiver. Her name was Rosemary, she was chosen, just like Jonas, and the Giver had to give her psychological pain. After 5 weeks since she begun her training, she asked for released and all the memories that she had went back to the people. The Giver asked Jonas if he wanted to the video of the release of the twin. In the video they saw that Father weight the 2 babies and he handed the heavier baby to his assistant and she left the room. Then, Father took a syringe with a clear liquid and he start to inject the liquid to the baby. After that Jonas realised that release meant kill. Then Father put the little baby into a carton container and thew it away. Jonas was shocked and now he didn't want to go back home so he stayed with the Giver that night. They wanted to change the things in the society so they made a very clever plan....



He killed it! My father killed it! (150)

This part of the book shocked me. I have being wondering what was release and now he finally know that release means to KILL! When I read this part I thought that Jonas' father kills babies for living and for him there isn't anything bad with it. He don't know what he is doing because he don't have memories that shows he that what he is doing is wrong and because Jonas has some memories, he was affected when he saw that his father killed a new born child.






Theses last chapters have being very interesting. I want to see what happens next. I look forward  to finish the book soon. Some questions I have are: Will Jonas tell his mother about this? What will happen to Lily and Gabe? The Giver's plan will succeed? what will the giver do when Jonas is gone? What will happen if he is suffering because he is feeling pain, there will not be anyone to transmit the memory to.

What do YOU think will happen?
