Giver Journal 4

a.2)

If Jonas narrated the story, it would probably be from his own point of view in the community. He would of decribed the memories as if he would have had pain like nothing else and as if he could feel the givers hand on his back. If Jonas could tell the story in the community then he would ask a lot of questions because he asks in the story "why do we have pills" or "why can i say the color //red?".// He would probably describe the people in the community as if he know all of them.

Questions: Will Jonas every get the memory back of the sail from gabriel? Will Jonas ever crack under the pressure? Why does the Giver have so many books in his house? Do the children know about death? Do they know there parents die?
 * TRUE, TASHA. HOW WOULD THIS MAKE THE STORY DIFFERENT FOR US TO READ? WOULD IT BE BETTER (CLEARER) OR WOULD WE MISS OUT ON SOME OF THE INFORMATION THE AUTHOR WANTS US TO HAVE? WHAT IF THE STORY TELLER WAS OMNISCIENT? HOW WOULD that CHANGE THE STORY? WOULD IT MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING?**


 * GOOD QUESTIONS ABOUT DEATH - I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THIS COMMUNITY DOESN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND - OR EVEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH. REMEMBER - FOCUS ON A COUPLE OF YOUR QUESTIONS, AND TRY TO DISCUSS WHY YOU THINK THEY ARE IMPORTANT, AND WHAT you THING THE ANSWERS ARE.**
