The Giver Chapters 9-12

On these chapters it happen many things. Jonas received the instructions about his new assignment. Some of this rules where that he can skip the dream ceremony when they told their dreams, and he fined this very useful because he very rarely dreamed. another rule was that now he can lie, and Jonas start realizing that maybe all in the community are lying because maybe in the instructions of all the assignments it says that they can lie, so he think that maybe all in the community above 12 years are lying. Later Jonas and his friends will get their first training. Jonas go to the Annex where it will be his first training, when he get inside it was a huge library with many books and there’s was The Giver that he was the old Receiver. He starts with giving him some memories first the snow then the sunburn and sunshine. Later Jonas lies for the first time in his life to his mother. Then Jonas was going with Fiona to the training and he sees the color red and The Giver gives him the memory of the colors.

 

‘‘There was a question bothering Jonas. ''sir'' he said, ''the chief Elder told me-she told everyone-and you told me, too, that it will be painful. So I was scared. But it didn’t hurt at all I really enjoyed It.'' he looked at the old man the man sighed. ''I started you with memories of pleasure. My previous failure gave me the wisdom to do that.'' he took a few deep breathes. ''Jonas,'' he said. '' It will be painful. But it need not be painful yet.''

I connect this with the theme pain vs pleasure because he is talking about that he is now felling pleasure but then he will feel pain.

This book is very interesting from the few books I've read this is one of the best. I hope we can finish this book the fast as we can, because I also want to see the movie, but maybe the movie isn’t that interesting as the book. I think books are more interesting than  movies about that book.
