Danny Torres--Final Exam Essay

A romance hero in the Giver would be Jonas. For one he may not have any faithful followers but he was one. The wise old man in the book would be the giver for Jonas. Also the dreams weren’t really dreams but memories that the giver passed on to Jonas. The testing of the follower is at the end which is to see if Jonas leaves.

Jonas may not had many followers but he did have one, which in this case would be Gab. All because Jonas could give memories to him that the giver passed on to Jonas. He was a follower to the giver by receiving the memories. Also it was what he had gotten assigned to as his position as a new adult. He listed to the giver and tried to give memories to his friends.

The giver was the wise old man to Jonas because his been through the same things that he’s going through. Also he has more memories then Jonas. He passes the memories to Jonas so he can see how life was in the past. But I would also that Jonas played a role as a wise old man to, by passing some of the memories to Gab. One more wise old man would maybe be Jonas dad because he would take Jonas to help him sometimes. So I see it as the older people you know the more you may know.

The dreams in the giver were memories because Jonas would see them in his head. The only dream he sees and what’s to get to is leaving the community which is more of a goal then a dream. All the memories are magic because their passed on to the receiver. When Jonas first sees color it magic to him because his never seen color before. All the dreams can only be seen by the next giver.

When Jonas left the community it was the testing of the follower because the giver and him had planned it out . But something went wrong so Jonas had to think of his own plan. Which he toke Gab and they both left leaving the community in panic. The giver gave Jonas all the memories but Jonas didn’t receive many memories on courage before his trip. Jonas as a follower to the giver had passed the test to see if he would leave to start new.
