The Unexpected Life

“The Velt” is a famous short story written by Ray Bradbury.  This story takes place in the future, which has machines that make your chores. This story show us the life of a family that has a house with a very advance technology, and inside of the house they had a nursery that George and Lydia sons play and have fun there.  This nursery it is not just a room it has a very advance technology that makes the pictures so real that it feels like you are in the place that you imagine, in this case Peter and Wendi imagine like they are in  Africa. At the beginning everything was joy and fun, but then Peter and Wendi start to be very violent with their parents, and  one of the biggest preoccupations of George and Lydia was that their kids are imagine things that the shouldn’t like murder, blood and that makes them violent.  After a time the kids get addicted to the nursery and at night George and Lydia start hearing screams and the roar of lions.  One day George and his wife decide to turn of the house and go away because it cause a lot of problems to the family, but obiosly his kids refuse to go away.

CHARACTERIZATION

     That just it. I feel like I don’t belong here. The house is wife and mother now, and nursemaid.  Can I compete with an African veldt? Can I give a bath and scrub the children as efficiently or quickly as the automatic scrub bath can? I cannot.” (3)

 In this part Lydia tacks with his husband about his feelings, and how dos he feel about the house.  Lydia thinks that he is unussless because the house make everything that a mother and wife make. I think that Lydia is wright because what’s the point of life is something make every single thing that you are suppose to make.

IMAGERY

“The nursery was silent. It was empty as a jungle at hot high noon. The walls were blank and two dimensional. Now, as George and Lydia stood in the center of the room, the walls began to purr and recede into crystalline distance , it seemed, and presently an African veldt appeared, in three dimensions, on all sides, in color reproduce the final pebble of a bit of straw. The ceiling above them became a deep sky with hot yellow sun.”

 I like the imagery that Ray Bradbury shows us in this story because the characters describe It like you are in the jungle. Also I think is very creative because they have a room witch what you imagine becomes alive. But it also had a negative part this room and it is that the things where getting to real so George decide to turn the house off. Besides that think that the imagery is very well explained and it can make the reader feel like they are in the story.

I think that this story is very interesting because it show us a very important message. The message of this story is that we don’t need machines or ultra-advance technology to have a very good life, we only need to be our selves and apriciate what we have.  In this story the characterization is so well explained that we can imagine th characters like we now them. So as well characterization.

Past, present and future.

It have been passed some time since Jonas is not tacking the pills, and the stirrings for Fiona have come back again to his mind. It was December and Jonas diced to spend a day with her friends. Asher and Fiona where playing on the park, they were playing like they were in war. Jonas had received the memory of war so he fell to the floor like he was dead, so Asher was rely mad at Jonas. Because that wasn’t the way that they play, and never have the idea of real war. After some time Jonas were with his family and Jonas father talk about a realize ceremony. The ceremony was about twins that were born, and in the community was not permitted to have two persons with the same face. The ceremony consist that the baby who has the less weight need to be realized, and what rely impact Jonas was that he really have the memories of pain so he knew what his father was doing, and also he figure it out that realize means DEAD. Jonas keeps saying “He killed it, my father kill it.” The Giver show Jonas that he could see the ceremony in the screen. After the ceremony Jonas and the giver were talking about the receiver that was before him, his name was Rosemary. When Jonas ask questions to the giver about Rosemary The Giver felt really sad about it, and then he said a secret to Jonas. He is my daughter, The Giver said.

 

“Jonas felt a ripping sensation inside him, the feeling of terrible pain clawing it’s a way forward to emerge in a cry”. The memories Jonas is receiving have shown us that memories are very important in our lives; they create our past, our present and our future.  In Jonas community people don’t know about the memories, so Jonas father don’t know what he is doing when he killed the baby, because maybe the people of the community told him that they fall in a dip sleep. Jonas has a very important role in the community, because he is the receiver of memories and the community would be ruined if something happened to Jonas. The Giver told Jonas that when Rosemary asked for realize the memories come back to people, and was such a terrible time. Science Jonas figure it out The Giver had the idea that Jonas can escape, but The Giver won’t go, because he wants to be with his daughter Rosemary.  

The giver has been a book that shows me that every part, every memory, every action and every feeling can set up our lives. Not just because it’s part of been a human, but with those things we can make errors, happy memory’s or even pain.  Sometimes we think every part of our life’s or even other people lives is perfect as it seemed, and one example it is not is The Giver. The Giver had happy memories that anyone could have but he also have memories that have destroy part of his life. He had his doubter and he loose it, so I think he is trying to tell Jonas that been a Giver is not just power and honor it is difficult and you need to be brave. FREEDOM is something that we need to have for we can set our future and Jonas community don’t even know what is bad for it and what is good, like when Jonas father killed the baby and he didn’t knew it.  The THEME for this book is mainly memories and it is something that it never ends.

Timed past training past and every day Jonas grow more and more as a person. One day The Giver transfer the memories of an elephant been killed, and Jonas asked himself why they do that.  The memory had really touch Jonas heart is the memory of Color. This memory became really important to Jonas and he always asked himself why people can’t see it. Jonas had the idea to transfer this memory to his friend Asher, but it didn’t work because Asher doesn’t have the ability to see beyond.  Memories make Jonas so happy but he also felt pain and these feelings are what make us who we are or should make us who we are. The memories Jonas had receive are not just rainbows and snow it was also pain, sunburn, hunger, war, love and one of the best memories the slide one.  War and hunger make Jonas been impressed, and he think it wasn’t a thing that someone will like to feel. This makes me think that the community makes people forget these memories because they are painful and is horrible to feel it. After sometime Jonas and his family were taking care of baby Gabe, and he can’t sleep at night, so Jonas decide to transfer the memories to baby Gabe. Does Baby Gabe will understand theme?

”They never feel the pain" Jonas said. These quote make me think that know Jonas is really having pain with the memories he is receiving. But with those memories now he could understand why the community has so many laws, restrictions and why people don’t know about memories.  I think that with the pain Jonas is having with memories he could change the way the community is ruled or even how people feel about the laws (they will have more freedom).

 

The Giver had been a book that I connected in real world because everyone wants to have a better place to leave, like Jonas community. I connected with the real world because we have laws that were made with a reason, and maybe it is like that because something happened in the past, like Jonas community animal poaching, war and more.  Chapter 13 through 16 is been interesting has a lot to connect with and makes you read more and more.

 The Giver chapter 9 to 12

Jonas have been selected as the receiver, and for Jonas that job wasn’t something   amazing. His parents told him that to be a receiver of memories is an honored job that everyone in the community respected.  After a while when every one receive their instructions, every person have folders of instructions of their new jobs. When his friends opened their folder have lot of papers but for Jonas was only one. Jonas was expecting more papers but when he stared reading theme in the paper said things that he wasn’t allowed to do in the past.  Besides Jonas was kind of confused about the instructions he had a lot of questions.  After time passed Jonas start his training as the receiver, but at the beginning of the training the older receiver told him that the training will be painful and he could suffer. Jonas has a lot of questions about it, and specially questions of the community, things that anyone could know.  When their training start Jonas saw colors and the elephants, and I connected that to the real world because people steel hunt animals, and that similar on the memories that Jonas receive.

In The book there were the instructions that Jonas need to follow, and some really make me think if Jonas will be shocked or impressed.  In the instruction said that he could lie and he can make any question he want, and the good part of it is that he could ask ant thing, like memories of the past, community, people, colors and more. What I really think is why people were prohibited to know about the past, choose their family units, wife’s, jobs and more. These instruction that Jonas have receive I think that would help him becoming better person; receiver and even he could help the community. Seeing beyond is an ability that people have and I think is an essential part of life.   

I think that The Giver is in the best part, because the author makes us to know more about Jonas life and his new job. I think that chapters 9 to 12 are the rising action because it is the part were the highest point is.

The Giver Chapters 5-8

 Dreaming something that is not permitted  in the community change you´re life. We all have dreams but in our case is permitted. Jonas have a dream that he never was suppose to have, and because of that dream Jonas really knew that he really likes what he feels  about Fionna. The next morning that Jonas had  the dream, he told his family about it, and his family react very well. The problem about telling her parents abpot the dream he had is that they make him take pills for don´t have stirrings. That day was the ceremony of Twelves,  and for Jonas was a very important day, they will assigned  his job.  When he and his family arrived to the auditorium, Jonas was very bored because the ceremony of Twelves was at the end. He was happy of his sister to be a Eight, but also feel nervous about Fionna, because he would not going to see him as much as he wanted. When finally the ceremony of  Twelves start people were getting their jobs, Jonas was kind of nervous but the good part of it was that the jobs he didn´t  like were not assigned to him. The time has finally come it was time to announce Jonas job, but then Chief Elder skip his name. Jonas  was shoked because he think that he forget about his number. But after he appologize and told him what h would going to be. Jonas was selected to be the recever.

"I dont like hair ribbons. I am glad that I need to were theme one more year, and  next year I get my bicycle,too," Lili said. I think individuality is a very important part of life because it make the path of life you want to make. In Jonas community is not to much individuality as people normaly have, and I think that the community is making wrong the desition that they will make the desitions that each person ned to have. Thise quote rimind´s me to the Truman´s Show becasue Christoph make the life that Truman "should have" (his idea of a perfect life, with out lies, war, fear). The Giver make me think about how it would be Quito if we had that law, it would not be nice. The Giver and Truman´s show are connected in many way´s with The Giver, and I think that the leaders of the community had the same idea of a perfect life, no war, no fire and no discussion´s.

I predict that Jonas will make a change in his community, because he is a guy who like to be with his friends, help others etc.  Jonas like the feeling of liking some one (stirrings) and that feeling in the community is not permitted. I think that Jonas will change the rule that people can have feelings to each other and also I think that he would give more liverty to people desitions and life.  I always ask how would  Quito be with that rule, I think that people would get annoyed. To finalize The Giver has been a book that change the way you think about life and show you values that you didn´t  realized they were important.

 

Summery of the giver 1-4

2. text response:

"So I expected it, and I was pleased, but not all surprised, when my assignment was announced as nurture" "They were happy for me, that my assignment was what I wanted most," Father said. (PG 16) This quote make me infer that for Jonas community is very important to have a job, but is also a thing that you need to like. For Jonas society was very important that people have a worck for be respect by the community, grow up you're family well and its obligatory to have a job science your 12. Besides, for the community is important to have a job is also like that job, because that will be you ’re job your entire life.  In conclusion these quote make’s me think that Jonas is a community that care a lot of organization.

3.The Giver has been an interesting book.  It makes people think another way of life that humans  never had specked  that life will be like that. In my perspective The Giver is a book that show’s people that life is not just money and that stuff, most important is the community, family, jobs etc. These book show’s me that there are so many things that could be fun instead of computer, TV and Iphones. It show me that helping other people make life fun and you can help you’re community better. I recommend The Giver because is a book that shows values that people will never specked. Every time I read The Giver I always remind about my community because we all try to be better persons, help others, have a job and most important it shows important values that will help you all you're life. To finalize I recommend The Giver to people who are interested to learn new things, want to make their life easier.

The givr questions

1. Jonas is a guy that his life is perfect. They dont have fear, war etc. Jonas has 12 years and scence he had 12 he is going to be the one who will have the role of the reciver memorys in the community. Jonas was a guy who people respect and think his childhood was perfect. Jonas life is very controled and has organization, and every one is a big  family community.  The problem is that Jonas dont know wat his role min or will going to be.

2. I use the strategy of connecting because it connect with a movie that I saw. Thise summery conects with the Trumans show movie because he had his perfect lie, no fire, comunity as a family and no war. ¨ Jonas life is perfect. Every thing is under control. There is no war or fire or even pain ¨ .  Thise quote also remind me when I saw The Trumans show there was a part when every step that he maid was exactly well canculate and sincronizate.

3. I think that the giver will going to be a fun and intresting book. I think that Jonas life will have mysterys, adventures, secrets, and joy. Also thise book will be very fu  because I like very much The Trumans show and thise book is very similar to the movie.
