Chapter 5 of the Giver

This Chapter started out with Jonas and his family discussing there dreams. When it was Jonas's turn he told his family of the dream he had was about how he was trying to get Fiona to take her clothes off. When he was done sharing the dream with his family he was getting ready to leave for school, but his mother stopped him. She told him it was his first stirrings. He didn't understand. It was a feeling somebody had for somebody else. He now had to take pills for them so this would never happen again. As he was riding to school he remebered the dream.

Comparing The Giver to Gathering Blue

The Giver is different from Gathering Blue in many ways. Like the main characters. The main character in the giver is a boy named Jonas. The main character in Gathering Blue is A girl named Kira. They both have special ''abilities'' but they are both different. Jonas has the power to see colors that know one in else except the giver can see. Kira has the special ability to sew very quickly and create incredible art. The societies they live in are different since they have different rules and different customs. Like in The Giver, everybody in the village must share there feelings everyday. In Gathering Blue they do not do this. Though they do have rules life if your born defected you are going to be thrown into a place called the Field of the Beasts to be killed. My opinion about the books is that they are both equal. Since they both have action in them and the main place in the stories are both in villages that are supposedly perfect. Both of these books are good and can both be checked out at the public library.

His friends were washing old people so he joined them. As he was washing an old woman they started talking about release and people who had been released.

Chapter 3 of the Giver

Chapter 3 starts out with Jonas and his family looking at a newborn child named Gabriel. His father had been worried about Gabriel for a while because it hasn't been sleeping well and if it doesn't start sleeping well by a certain age it is released. Jonas's sister Lily notices that Gabriel has very light eyes just like Jonas. Most people in the village have dark eyes but a few people have light eyes like them.When his sister mentioned she wanted to be a Nurturer Jonas thought of a memory of when him and his friend Asher were playing catch with an apple. While they were playing catch the apple had changed to Jonas. Not in size or shape but in a way Jonas couldn't understand. When he held it the apple was back to normal. The same color as his tunic. When he asked Asher he said it jumps out of his hands when he dropped it again. This meant he didn't see what Jonas saw. So he laughed uneasily. When he took it back to his house he studied it. There was nothing strange about it. After an announcement had come on saying Know one is allowed to take food from the place he had taken it from he saw his parents look at him. When he snapped out of his daydream about his memory. he tried to forget it looking at Gabriel he realized Gabriel was different from everyone else. Like Jonas.
