The Giver: Blog Entry #4

Here is a question for today's blog post!

Q: " Gabriel's breathing was even and deep. Jonas liked having him there, though he felt guilty about the secret. Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing bare-footed on a damp lawn.

"Gabe?"

The new child stirred slightly in his sleep, Jonas looked over at him.

"There could be love" Jonas whispered.

The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think that Jonas cares a lot about Gabriel and he wants him not to be like the others. I think that that is why Jonas is giving him so many happy, colorful memories, so that when he grows up he sees colors and he feels feelings. So that when he grows up he is free to feel what he wants and know whatever he wants about 'life'. I think that is a really good action form Jonas because what he is learned he wants to pass it on to Gabriel so that he knows and feels things that no one except for Jonas and The Giver know. :D
