The Giver

Jonas,



 I know you are in a better place now with Gabriel, you did a good job on leaving the community. The elders were wrong to make everything the same here are some songs that fit into your life. hopefully they can help you get pass the hard times in your life.
    


 Life Keeps Moving On -Ben Rector
You have had a lot of hardships in your life. When you were assigned to be the next receiver you didn't know what was going to happen. When you found out what it meant to be released was really to be killed, you didn't know what to think and then you left the community with Gabriel ''when your sure your world is coming down around you life keeps moving on''. it was possible, But what did that matter? if he stayed, his life was no longer worth living (page 196 2 paragraph) Jonas life keeps going on, its a part of life to go through hard moments in your life you went through those hardships for a reason to see the reality of the world you live in.






Chris Brown - With you
This song reminds me of how you felt something very strong for your friends Asher and Fiona, but you felt something special for Fiona. On your journey he transmitted the memories to Gabriel to keep him happy and what helped Jonas keep going was the memory of Fiona I don't want nobody else, without you, there's no one left then, ''And I think I knew that she shouldn't. but I wanted it so terribly. I could feel the wanting all through me.'' Fiona did feel the same just that she couldn't express her feelings.




The United States National Anthem
 This song reminds me of the bravery Jonas had throughout the whole story. Even though he was only a kid he showed tremendous bravery, having to bare in all the sad, painful, and fearful memories. ''oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave this song displays the bravery that Jonas faced to have a better life for his community and also the soldiers that risked their life for this country's independence ''lie down,'' he said. ''its time, I suppose. I cant shield you forever. You'll have to take it on eventually. this I where you showed your eagerness to learn and where willing to face the worst things in life to help others.







Michael Jackson - Earth song
Jonas shows his faithfulness towards the animals and the earth. the giver explains to him that the mythical creatures they believe where just fiction where in fact real and lily's comfort object was a elephant the same object they gave Gabriel so he could go to sleep "what about animals (what about it) we've turned kingdoms into dust (what about us) what about elephants (what about us) have we lost their trust." Jonas stops their friend's from playing the "war game" as he knows now its real "Don't play it anymore." he knows now the effects of war. the amount of people that die for simple disagreement. Jackson explains why we kill animals just for their riches.





Bruno Mars - Count on me
Jonas you have many friends but your main friend throughout the story where Gabriel and the Giver, Jonas you told the baby Gabriel everything how your lessons where going on with the giver you where the only one that could put him to sleep Gabriel was special he could also receive memories. Jonas risked his life to save Gabriel he committed serious crimes in the community to save him. "for Gabriel there would have been no life at all. so there had not really been a choice Jonas you knew Gabriel was special and he wanted a future for the baby. I hope these songs help you out.
