1. Jonas’s community focuses on sameness; yet they don’t believe that there should be two identical people, twins, in the community. What might be the community’s reasons for thinking this way? Do you agree with this rule? Why or why not? How would you go about trying to change it? What would be your plan of action?

The community thinks this because they will not be able to tell which one is which. No because I would like a twin because you can tell seacrets and best of all they won't tell anyone. I would tell them that some people whould probily like a twin.

2.What are your thoughts on Jonas’s escape plan? Chapter 20

I think that is great because you don't have to do anything someone tells you to do. I would not do what a person tells me to do.



3.What do you think will happen in the community now that Jonas has left? What do you think The Giver will do to help?

I think the community will have to find a new person to replace the giver's job. Also I think his family will go crazey if they find out. I think he will tell Jonas where to go.



4. Jonas begins to experience some of the things that the community did not have to worry about, such as hunger, pain, and poor weather. Do you see any advantages to a community like Jonas’s? Are the advantages worth dealing with the disadvantages? Is it worth it? Explain why or why not. What are some things in your life that you wish you or your community did not have to worry about? Ask your blogging buddy the same question.

No I do not see any advanteges to Jonas's Community. No the disadvanteges are not worth dealing with the advanteges. No it is not worth having to deal with hert or being in pain. Being in pain is not worth it. I wish my community did not have to deal with pain even though I am not in a community. What are some things in your life that you wish you or your community did not have to worry about?



5.If there were one thing you could change about the ending of this book, what would it be?

I would change Jonas finds his Grandma and lived happliy in peace.
