Love

One day, Jonas goes into the Annex to meet the Giver. But once there, the Giver tells Jonas that he is really in a lot of pain. But this time, Jonas offers to help him. Then the Giver shares with him the memory of war, which changes Jonas. But not only that, to compensate what he has done, the Giver shares the memory of Christmas with him. 
Thats when Jonas learns what love really is. But also, Jonas realizes that the Community he lives in is totally fake. The "feelings" they share are too shallow to be really called as emotions. 
When he returns to his dwelling his asks his mom and dad if they love him. Their answer is that they should use better presicion of language and that love isnt a good word for describing their feelings. Jonas refuses to take his daily pill, and now he starts to see colors more often and also he begins to have stirrings again. Then his father comments that he is going to release an identical twin, and Jonas starts to be intrigued about it.

Two phrases brought my attention in these few chapters:

"I certainly liked the memory, though. I can see why its your favorite. I couldnt quite get the word for the whole feeling of it, the feeling that was so strong in the room." 
"Love," the giver told him.
Jonas didnt knew what love was. It was a totally new feeling for him. This prooves how the community isnt perfect, even though many problems start to dissapear, great things start to fade away too.
"Do you love me?"
There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then father gave a little chuckle. "Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please!"
Say whaaaaat? Jonas' fathers arent even able to tell him that they love him? That is absurd, they dont have any feelings! The community doesnt have any feelings, and families doesnt work as they should. There isnt any love in the community, thats terrible.


Jonas is starting to realize how wrong the community is. I believe that he is now going to do something that will change it. The next chapters are going to be about the ending of the book and we are going to be able to see how this ends. Maybe Jonas gets to change the community, maybe he doesnt, anyway we will get to the ending.
