Something Lost...

I am still reading The Giver I have not finish the book, well after a great period of time I will finish.  As every morning all family units have to tell the dreams. Jonas never dream of anything but he dream of something it was about Fiona in the House of the Old and he wanted to bathe her but she did not want it. Then her mother tell him that those feelings are called stirrings and he should take some pills that make go away the feeling. The next was the ceremony and were two days of vacations. It started with the most little until the old. The Ceremony of Twelve was the next day. Gabriel the baby was kept in the Nuturing center and did not was given to a family unit. So sad. Then it was the ceremony of twelve and Jonas´ assignment was skip, after everyone was given an job they gave Jonas his job that was the Receiver of Memories, and the chief elder said that Jonas had the hability to see beyond.

There was a part that impact me was, there was the morning ritual and Jonas tell his dream and after her mother talk with him about stirrings:

"A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER FOR TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE"(...) "Do I have to report it?"(...) "You did, in the dream-telling. That's enough" "But what about the treatment?" (...) "No, no," she said. "It's just the pills. You're ready for the pills, that's all. That's the treatment for Stirrings." 



Key: (...) it means I skipped parts.

For me this part impact me because why they don't allow you to have those feelings. Then I haved a question how does a pill make that the feeling go away? Then I start to think about that they are taking away a part of you, you can't be yourself a change can change you. After I thought of this I became with a connection with the Truman Show when Truman realized he live in a world full of lies he start changing and never went to the old one. Why does the government needs to have a lot of control of the citizens. Then I make this question it is okay that someone take away a part of us or to tell us not to be that way". 

To finish my blog I have to say that this chapters were very great but to much intrigue about why things are happening like that. A prediction that I have is that on his new job Jonas will try to change the community and its rules. Also I have another question what does the receiver of memories does?
       

I hope this happens.
