Truth About Release

Jonas and his family were surprised because they have announced the unscheduled holiday. And the substitute laborers took over all the necessary tasks, like the nurturer, or the house of the old and the community was free. He wished his family good holidays and took his bicycle and look for Asher. Asher and Fiona where playing a game of war and he told them to stop because he knows what can cause that and that he is bad. then  Jonas ask The Giver if he had thought about release and he told Jonas that he sometimes is thinking about his own release when had a lot of pain but he is not permitted until the new receivers trained. He told Jonas about this girl named Rosemary that The Giver liked her and said that that was love. He told Jonas that she apply for release and when that happen all memories where transmitted to all in the community. Next Jonas wanted to see the release of the two twins that his father would do and he go and said to the voice speaker that he wanted to see the release. He was watching how his father took the weight of the two twins and then he says how he killed them. He was surprised, and The Giver takes with him and Jonas didn’t go to his house for ''additional training''. Later he goes to the annex at the night and he said that there’s no attendance in the night, so The Giver let his door unlocked. The Giver said to Jonas that he loves him but when his work is finished he has to go to ''another place'' he said that he wanted to be with his daughter. Jonas said that he didn’t know the giver had a daughter and The Giver replied ''her name was Rosemary''. That day they wanted to change the community so they make a plan.

 ''As he continued to watch, the new child, no longer crying, moved his arms and legs in a jerking motion. Then he went limp. His head fell to the side, his eyes half open. Then he was still.'' ( Lowry 150)

In this part of the book I was shocked because all this time we read, these entire chapter, we didn’t know what means release, until now. Jonas at first he was confused, but then when he saw that his father kill babies he felt sorry about the babies because he is the only one that have memories therefore is the only one who have fillings about this in the community.

This book is awesome; it’s one of the best books I have ever read. It’s extremely interesting and this book obviously had to won this John Newberry Medal. I don’t want to finish this book because it’s very interesting.
