For chapters 20-23, Lily asked us 5 questions:

1. What did The Giver and Jonas planned?

2. Who is The Giver’s daughter?

3. Why did Jonas brought Gabriel with him? What is the purpose?

4. Why did the landscape changed?

5. If you were Jonas, would you continue to go on or come back home? Why?

 

They were great questions and we kinda got similar answers to each other.

Kelvin, the Reflector, thinks that chapters 20-23 was kind of a twist, starting from the part where the author reveals that Rosemary, the previous failed Receiver, is The Giver’s daughter. And where Jonas and The Giver made a plan to flee away from the Community. Throughout the chapters, Kelvin said he felt kinda painful and sad. As Kelvin was reading through these chapters, he kept thinking of how much Jonas has grown and be more matured over time. Using clues from the text, Kelvin thinks that the ending is going to be a happy one.

This week’s connector is Meg. She says that the part where Jonas and The Giver planned to escape reminds her of when her dad told her and her sister to plan what to do for their summer. And when Jonas sneaked out in the middle of night and took Gabriel and his father’s bicycle with him, it reminds Meg of when she couldn’t sleep or can’t do any of her homework, she would secretly open the door and going out to take a bike ride.
