Paragraph 1: In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas would be a dynamic character. He has a huge change from the beginning of book till the end of the book. In the beginning he didn't like sharing thoughts. For example, when he was going to tell his dream to his family he told himself, “He paused. He knew he had to tell it all, that it was not only all right but necessary to tell all of a dream. So he forced himself to relate the part”, (36). This quote explains what I'm saying because he forced himself to tell his dream to his family. Now in the end of the book he now starts to be liar. Another example is when Jonas is with his friend Asher, and Jonas touches Asher, “He put his hands on Asher's shoulders… What's the matter? Asher asked uneasily… No, nothing. I thought for a minute that they were wilting”... (99). This explains what saying because Jonas was thinking of something else that couldn't tell Asher, so Jonas lied to Asher.



Theme: (Make decisions, choices, unique). I think this was the lesson or message of this book because everybody should make their own decisions, for example when Jonas had watched the released that his father was in, Jonas started crying because now he knows the true meaning of release, “I won’t! I won’t go home! You can’t make me!”(152). This means that Jonas started crying because now he knows the true meaning of release. Also this explains what I'm saying about how about making choices and decisions, and how Jonas is making his own choice not to go home because his father. Another example is when Jonas is about to leave the community, “ He grabbed instinctively for Gabriel; and the new child” (171). This quote shows that Jonas is taking Gabriel because it was his choice, so they won't release him.
