Still in the special voice, his father was saying, "I know, I know. It hurts, little guy. But I hace to use a vein, and the veins in your arms are too teeny-weeny."
He pushed the plunger very slowly, injecting the liquid into the scalp vain until the syringe was empty. "All done. That wasn't so bad, was it?" Jonas heard. (Lowry 149)
This quote was the one that caught my full attention while I was reading. And when I read this quote it make me feel really upset about what Jonas father just did with the twin. I know that Jonas father dosen't know that what he is doing is bad he thinks that it is right for the community. Even tough he doesn't knows is bad it still make me feel sad and as the author describes Jonas actions after he sees his father doing the release he is really upset and frustrated too. So in this quote we are able to see the importance of memory because Jonas has memories so he knows better about what is right or wrong, and Jonas father don't have memories so he only knows what he has been taught he's hole life he dosen't knows more. In conclusion this scene in the book was the saddest during all the story and made me feel bad for Jonas because he discover the truth of release which means death.
After all this last chapters where the most revealing and they made me realized the importance of memories. I was able to realize that because memories are helping Jonas to see the truth is about his life and more. I think that Jonas decision about escaping was smart but I predict that he is going to have some trouble by doing it. The Giver has been a great book full of adventure and many more emissions mixed up. There is just 3 chapters left I hope they are great and they won't change my great perspective about the book.
Berni I agree with you when you are seeing that Jonas is going to have some trouble by escaping. I also think Jonas is going to have a good problem to escaping. When I was reading the 3 chapters that I have left I can see the prediction that yoou have make in your blog.
