Sarah Grabers fianl exam

In the hero's journey there is a passage of heros through three stages which are, the separation, the initiation, and the return. After some of these journeys the heros life has been impacted. Like Jonas' lif was in the Giver. He was a boy who lived in a white and black community. They went to school only up until they became twelves and had jobs just like the real world does now, but they didnt have any feelings, they couldnt feel pain, or sadness or even happiness. When they became twelves they stopped going to school and started working just like the adults did.
Jonas' calling was when he was an eleven getting ready to turn a twelve. He started going through stages that normal teen age boys go through.He did voulenteer work after school just like everyone else did because it prepared them for life after school when they turned to be a twelve and started working. But he started to see colors for the first time, and he didnt know what it was, he was the only one who was seeing them. He thought he was going crazy or something because he was the only who was seeing colors. He was really apperihensive about everything especially about be coming a tweleve.
When the big day finally came, the ceremony of the twelves, Jonas was really apprehensive about it. Durind the ceremony Jonas was skipped, so he got scarred and upset, he thought that they just totally forgot about him. Everyone was suprised that they skipped him because people never get skipped.At the end of the ceremony onas was called to the stage, come to find out they didnt forget about him, he was skippen on purpose. The reason he was skipped is because he received a special job, he became the new recevier.The receiver takes all of the memories from everyone in the community, the take all of the feelings like pain sadness and happiness from everyone, so the receiver is the only who feels anything and everything.
Jonas wasnt really excited about becoming the new receiver at first because he didnt know what the receiver did or anything about the job. But after awhile Jonas started to like it, he got to know what eveyrthing was and how it felt to have feeling, he always wondered what it would be like. He got to see everything that went on in the community, he got to do whatever he wanted and say whateve rhe wanted to. The old receiver taught Jonas eerything he needed to know about the job. After Jonas found everything out and saw everything, he started to see that the community wasnt as good as everyone put it out to be, the people wasnt as great like he thought.
Jonas and the old receiver made a plan to have Jonas leave the community and fine a different one that would be alot better for him, and if he did then maybe he could go back and get everyone else. After awhile when they got the plan all done and everything, Jonas decided to leave the community and everyone the he ever loved and cared about. After a few days of being gone he thought he got to a new community, but he really didnt, he was just remembering a memory that the old receiver gave to him when he first got the receiver job. The memory was a snow covered hill with a red sled and he was sledding down with the wind in his face and he was having a blast. But like always everything must come to an end sooner or later and for Jonas it was sooner than he thought it would be.
