Would living in a world with no emotion
become chaos? Would living in a world where the government runs your life
become chaos? In the book The Giver Jonas a very young boy discovers and
sees all of the secrets about the world, because he was selected to be the new
receiver. Now Jonas is a very intelligent boy, he wants everyone in the
community to experience these feelings that he and only one other person can
experience. Jonas and the Giver want the government to release these secrets
and allow everyone to feel this pain and experience what real life would be.
This change in the world would help a
lot because if people could feel emotions and know what the real life would be
like they would be "living". They live in a "perfect
world", but this world is not close to perfect. When the government runs
your world, they choose your life, and in a perfect world everybody should be
able to choose what they want so Jonas and the Giver have to be able to show
the people what life would be. Also if the government isn't in complete control
anymore it would give the people the right to free speech.
This change though is also very bad for
the community. Since Jonas is a very smart young boy he understands the
consequence, but he knows he has to do this. Jonas is selected to be the
receiver, now if you’re the receiver you must live with the pain of knowing all
of the secrets of the world. If these secrets become to "strong" it
will cause psychotic reactions causing Jonas to either kill himself, or share
information that he should not have. If Jonas does either of these outcomes, it
might cause a chain reaction having the government take away all hope of having
emotion, by killing the giver.
