Jonas took the baby (Gabriel) out of the comunity and they almost froze to death. Jo nas had barely and memory left to make him and Gabe warm and they ran out of food and energy. Jonas stopped taking his pills and he now has emotions and he watched his father kill a baby, and he had to act like everything is okay. Jonas wants to change the fact that the giver has to go through all the pain instead of the whole community having even pain. [Philip] It's **Man Vs Society** because Jonas is trying to explain that their are Feeling, Colors,and trying to make people understand That releasing means killing people not sending them to the outside world. ( **Yara )** I think it's man vs. society AND man vs. nature, Jonas had to rebel against the commity, however, when he ran away we didn't know what to do, because he had never expirienced living off of the land. He was always babied. Man v.s society because Jonas is against the rule the community made way back about sameness. (Chris)
 * (Ericka)**
 * __Conflicts:__** The conflict of the story is __Man vs Society__ because its Jonas vs the Community he lives in, he is learning about things that only he and the Giver knows about the community. Like what release ment. It is also man vs nature because when Jones and the giver planned a plan of him running out of the community and going to eslse where they were freezing to death and Jones run out of all his warm memories.

 * Jonas ** - The eleven-year-old protagonist of // The Giver. //Sensitive and intelligent, with strange powers of perception that he doesn’t understand, Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory for his community when he turns twelve.

After his training begins, Jonas’s universe widens dramatically. His new awareness of strong emotions, beautiful colors, and great suffering makes him extremely passionate about the world around him and the welfare of the people he loves, though on the whole he remains level-headed and thoughtful.

=**The major characters of the book are:**= Jones: Jonas is a Eleven who is chosen to become the next Receiver of Memories in the community. His Assignment is the most honored and respected one out of all the jobs, and Jonas has has all the qualities to become the next reciever of memory. When begins his training with The Giver and he slowly understands the truth about the community and there secrets, however, Jonas feels that things must change.

The Reciever/The Giver: The Receiver has the access to all the memories of the past. The Receiver, later called 'The Giver' by Jonas, has. He trains Jonas to be the next Receiver of Memories. Jonas makes him realize that the community needs to change, and he agrees to a plan that will make everyone have access to the memories of the past and the receiver helps Jones with all the pain of the memories.

Gabriel: Gabriel is a newchild that is been taken care of in the Nurturing Center. Jonas's father brings Gabriel home at nights to sleep. Gabriel is able to sleep soundly because Jones gives Gabriel peaceful memories That will make him sleep. Later Gabriel is chosen to be released from the community, and Jonas takes Gabriel to save him from being killed.

Ashur: Asher is Jonas's best friend. He is clumsy and careless. When he becomes a Twelve, Asher receives the Assignment of Assistant Director. Ashur and Jonas gradually grow distant as Jonas receives training and begins to understand the truth about the community.

Fiona: Fiona is Jonas's friend. Her Assignment as a Twelve is Caretaker of the Old. Fiona is a gentle girl and Jonas likes her. At the end, Fiona also grows apart from Jonas because she cannot understand him and his Assignment as Receiver of Memories.

Rosmary: Rosemary was a girl she was a Eleven who had been chosen to be the next Receiver of Memories ten years ago.

After training one day, she went to the Chief Elder to apply for a release from the community. When Rosemary was released, the memories she had been given came back to the community and to the people and the people could help with the pain. =﻿**(Shabnam)**=

Jonas: the boy who gets selected and become the new receiver Giver: the former receiver who gives Jonas the memories of the past Rosmary: The receiver before Jonas who failed 10 years ago and got released Lily: Jonas's family member Asher: Jonas's best freind Fiona: Jonas's friend Gabreiel: The newborn child Jonas's family was taking care of (Sean) =**__Themes:__** I think the theme is Feelings, because only Jonas and the Giver can experience feelings and feel what it is really like to be sad, in pain, mad, or happy and more.= and if you get released u get killed by a needle. I think the theme is like being rebllious, because Jonas finds out all this stuff so he completley dis-obeys the rules and he also leaves the commity, like **running** away. I think the theme is feeling because the only two people in the comunity can experiance the true meening of pain, sorrow, anger, happyness, scared and other feelings
 * (Dima)**

 * and there's no individuality and to make sure everything is the same no one execpt Jonas and the Giver can see colours. [Arezou]~**
