Rosemary

Summary

     When Jonas entered the room, he saw The Giver with his hands in his face, he said he wanted to help, and The Giver gave him some of the pain he was feeling in that moment. He gave Jonas the memory of War. The next days, The Giver tried to give Jonas a lot of happy memories, he gave the memories of some holidays and family. He saw what The Giver called grandparent, and he said he would want one because the family he saw looked more complete with them. Gabriel continued to sleep in his room, and he gave tiny memories to him on the night. Days later, Jonas went to look for Asher, and play with him, but he was playing with other kids, and Jonas noticed it was a game about war, even though Asher and the others didn't know. But he knew he couldn't give away the memories. Jonas asked The Giver about the last person who tried to train to be the Reciever, he old him tht her name was Rosemary. He told him she only trained for five weeks, and the she asked for the released. Jonas later was very curious about the cermony of release, because he had heard his father talk about it. He asked to see the release his father had made that morning, and he discovered that the ceremony was to make that person die, an go to other place. He and The Giver make a plan for Jonas to escape and go elsewhere. Jona wanted that The Giver went with him, but he said that when he was gone, he wanted to go to and stay with his daughter. Jonas didn't know who was she, and The Giver said "Her name was Rosemary".   
                            

Quotes 

"Memories are forever." (144)

 This quote may look very simple and short, it is, but has a lot of things to tell. It's trying to show how memories, even though they are not true or yours, can make a lot of difference, meaning that if they pass through many people, it can last forever. 




"It's the way they live. It's the life that was created for them. It's the same life that you would have, if you had not been chosen as my successor." (153)

 I liked this quote because it shows how the society in which Jonas is or was living, is so perfectly organized nobody can't change it, and only Jonas and The Giver know the truth, that is why he says they don't know nothing. 

To conclude...  

 Jonas has learned about how his society is, and why it is that way, and that is why he wants to escape. Now we know about the girl who failed to be the new reciever, Rosemary, why she failed and that she was actually The Giver's daughter.
