Week 5 – Connector – Group 4

In the chapters 11-13, I found some interesting connections. As I read, Jonas saw lots of new things that he never see it yet, it made me remember when the first time I went to America, everything was unfamiliar with me, they made me feel strange because all impressive beauty. The book that I would like to connect with The Giver is The Road, not Taken. Both they have to overcome an obstacle that give them a sign about the future, how they change the world. In The Giver, Jonas has been selected and he started to be apart, alone from everyone because he was a Reciever of the Memory, which special from his whole community. In The Road, not Taken, Robert Frost lived in loneliness and he have to choose one road that help him go to the future and change the world with lots of challenges were waiting for him. The author of The Giver was Lois Lowry, who have a writing style always talk about forward but not because that is story was boring, but in each his sentences, he gave lots of imagery about Jonas community during this time. With Robert Frost, the author of The Road not Taken, his writing style was very gentle. He wrote his own experience, his real life to his poem/story that make the reader feel comfortable and easygoing when reading his book. This section related to those that came before it because it gives us more information about the Receiver of  Memory, how Jonas felt unique from everyone, who the only has selected into an important job in his community and also showed us how the society worked during that time.
