Without Pain, Pleasure cannot exist

The Giver keeps getting better and better each second I read more and below there is a poem about the last chapters I have read...

"Jonas don't whine about the pain,                       

cause love is on its way

and with the memories that you will get,

more pleasure you will obtain

such as christmas and grandparents faith,

and real love you will feel and learn

Don't worry about warfare,

it will give you more wisdom

as the choice you did with Gabe,                                

by sharing him your memories                                     

it was a smart decision,

                                                                                              

All the memories you've earned,

have not been as easy as they seemed 

but you have been able to control them well

and overcome them without fear, 

but do not rely easily 

because love will be more trickier" 

                                          

"Who were the old people? Why were they there?" It had puzzled Jonas, seeing them in the room. The old of the community did not ever leave their special place, the House of the Old, where they were so well cared for and respected.

"They were called Grandparents." 

"Grand parents?".  (Lowry 123)

While I was reading I found this quote that make me think more deeply into Jonas community families. What I thought is that The government is making families in the community be small and have more family unit missing. In Jonas community you never get to meet your grandparents and the old people are left in the House of Old with any family left. So this make me think that it must be very unfair for people in Jonas community specially to the old people that they can't share with the rest of their family. So in conclusion I think that the government has created something bad in the community and they don't realise what is the effects of it.

The memories that Jonas is gaining are giving him  wisdom as the Giver says that memories make you wiser. Memories are changing Jonas in many different ways I think he is getting to know the truth about the place he lives in. Jonas is giving baby Gabe memories so he sleeps so I predict something based on that. My prediction is that I think that the giver will find out that Jonas is giving his memories to Gabe. I also predict that maybe Jonas will give a memory to someone else that is close to him maybe someone from his family or maybe a friend. So as final thought I think Jonas will give more of his memories away.
