Jonas' instructions


I did some brainstormig on these introductions of Jonas   

1. -he has to introduce like everyone else or he has to introduce especially depends on how the others have to introduce
-no time between school and training because his training is lavish and time-consuming training  

2. -hard and exhaustive training
-Jonas needs time to rest
-no recreation time

3. -has to get beyond their thoughts to get closer to the entire community

4. -has to be kept secrets
-he has many advantages because he is rare and special

5. -his dreams have to be kept secret
-could be dangerous if another member hear them  -> they  could get afraid but they want to keep their community a Utopia

6. -his mental pain is an experience 
-makes him strong for the following "procedures"
-he need his experiences of mental pain

7. -can't leave the community because he get to know too much
-he's to important for the community

8. -have to keep the secrets

As to come to a conclusion you can they that "The Giver" has to stay because he's too rare so they cannot eliminate him like others  or  they want to keep their secrets in the system  or  both          

In my opinion now the community fits right more into the image of a surveillancestate than ever befor.

  1. Jantien,

    Your ideas seem well structured, analysing THESE INSTRUCTIONS (not introductions!) Jonas is given in depth really can help us when taking a look at the community. You have done well concerning the content, but I think your post was quite late in the evening and therefore we find some grammar mistakes in your writing:

    -"depends" is the right word in number 1
    -check for has / have in connection with Jonas. You need a 3rd pers. sg. form in these cases.
    -you can't say "have to keep secret" - that is literally translated from German, but in this case it doesn't work. Better: must not be told / have to be kept secret"
    -check for if/when
    - a Utopian state does not need an "n" in the indefinite article because of the sound of the vocal
    -to/too
    -"needy" is not the same as "too much needed" / "important" and I think you meant one of the last 2 options.
