The Giver Chapters 1-4

 On chapter 1 the narrator introduces Jonas, Lilly, his father and his mother and Asher that is Jonas best friend. They talk about some ceremonies they do every December. There was the 9 ceremony that they receive their bicycle and in the 12 ceremony was the most important. They assigned their jobs. And he is almost 12 years old.
On chapter 2 his father and he were talking about how he received his nurture assignment. Also he tells him how the committee of elders chooses an assignment to every kid, that they are watching the kids and they choose the best assignment for him.
On chapter 3 Jonas father brought a baby from the nurturing center and he found his name. His name was Gabriel but it was against the rules. Jonas takes an apple from the Recreational center and they said from the microphone that no one should take anything from the recreational center. Also Jonas is very nervous about what his assignment would be, because what if he doesn't like it.
 On chapter 4 he start working at the house of the old for the volunteer hours, and they met this kid named Benjamin that he work at the rehabilitation center for 4 years and he was eleven. Then he helped Larissa to take a bath while she told them about this man named Roberto that was released and that day they celebrated his released.

Pages 3-4, question is that in here it says ''we accept your apology'' and that was very weird because they all said at the same time. They looked like robots programed to do that. After I read that I have a different perspective about the book. At first I just look this book like it was a dystopia not that perfect. But now I see this dystopia is all perfect and that they do everything following the rules.


In conclusion this is a great book so far that I am on chapter 4 but it still very interesting.  It is interesting to read in class with my peers and with my teacher because I understand better taking sticky notes and also with my teacher reading because she is a great reader. I predict that he will get the assignment of a doctor because his father is a nurturer and he like to help people, that is my prediction.

  1. The part of the apologizing maybe is not weird because it was a rule, an obligation they had to follow
