=Marin's Journal One= My Questions: 1.) Why do they __have__ to have one boy and one girl? 2.) Why aren't planes allowed to fly over the city? 3.) What does 'released' mean? 4.) Why do they have to share their feelings at dinner? 5.) Why do they have speakers all over the city? 6.) What is the Twelve's Ceremony?

My Prediction:

I think that in __The Giver__ Jonas will get released. I don't think that he would have done anything wrong though. I think that he would've gotten framed for three bad things, and no one could prove that he wasn't guilty. I also think that released means to get kicked out of //The Community//. So, when you get released, you go to The Giver. Then when he gets to The Giver's house, The Giver automatically knows that Jonas didn't do anything wrong. So, when Jonas should be locked up in a confined space, The Giver tells him about the past instead. Jonas learns about life and death, war and peace, and love and hate. But when the Giver tells Jonas something he wasn't supposed to, Jonas' life changes, for the better, and for the worst. The authorities know, and they're willing to get Jonas in their hands to get him to not tell anyone no matter what. And Jonas has got to get away from the authorities and back home and prove he's not guilty.

My Connection:

My connection was also how they share their feelings at the dinner table. Sometimes my family shares their feelings at the dinner table. But it's not so much feelings, its more "How was your day?".
