" Gabriel's breathing was even and deep. Jonas liked having him there, though he felt guilty about the secret. Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing bare-footed on a damp lawn.
"Gabe?"
The new child stirred slightly in his sleep, Jonas looked over at him.
"There could be love" Jonas whispered.
The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away"
I think that this quote relates to freedom and choice because Jonas threw away the pill because he wanted to be able to "love" people like Fiona. Jonas and The Giver liked the feeling of love so that's why Jonas wanted to throw away the pill. When Jonas saw the family handing gifts, Jonas feels the happiness in the training. Love is the most difficult question for mankind.
Love is patient, love is kind. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. By the end of the novel, two major realizations about Jonas's community are mainly responsible for Jonas's decision to leave the community. The second realization is about the nature of release, but the first realization is Jonas's discovery of the meaning of love. His parents reject the concept of love as an imprecise and slightly comical idea, but Jonas resorts to sharing his revelation with Gabe, who shares Jonas's capacity for receiving memory and who is still a blank list without the training of the community that later in life would cause him to say no to love. Since Gabriel is able to accept Jonas's love, the two characters form a nearly ancestral bond that causes Jonas to sacrifice greatly for his surrogate younger brother's sake.
Another thing is because although Jonas was suppose to take his pill, he had the choice to take it or not so he didn't take it. This is showing Jonas is making his own choices. The novel explores Jonas's encounter with memories of "the past," a time much like ours, in which people still had the freedom of choice. In his world, people weren't allowed to make their own choices such as choosing their own mates. "Oh." Jonas was silent for a minute. "Oh, I see what you mean. It wouldn't matter for a newchild's toy. But later it does matter, doesn't it? We don't dare to let people make choices of their own." "Not safe?" The Giver suggested. "Definitely not safe," Jonas said with certainty." This quote This quote takes place when Jonas and the Giver were discussing the rights of choices in the community.
So here is my blog. (The book)
