Easy going isn't it!</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Okay I thought about a couple of "new" titles for the book</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><ol><li><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">THE ROAD SO FAR</span></b></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></li>
</ol><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">This idea has to handle with Supernatural one of my favorite series ever (I first thought about the name and then started to think where I know it from).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">(okay I wanted to put in a video here but I can't find the right one with blogger so just a link)</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE2ucw9LQik">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE2ucw9LQik</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But here's another video (also another song but when you exactly concentrate on what Sam and Dean are talking about there are relations to the context of the book)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y07c6sxZGTU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I thought this would work very well as a title because as you know Jonas rides along the road to nowhere at the end and the road seems endless. And it's my favorite opportunity.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> 2.</span><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Decembers</span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I also thought about "And annualy greets the December" -as a approval to " Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier"-as a possible title but I think "Decembers" suit better. The book begins with the December in which Jonas is going to be given his assignment and the book ends with a december where Jonas just in the night before the "ceremony-day" disappears together with the newchild which actually should been released the next day. So Decembers play a big role.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> 3.</span><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Who's got what it takes to be</span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Okay I know this is also a title of one of the songs from the movie "Camp Rock" but it fits you need to admit me in this point I mean ask the Google translater for a translation of " who's got what it takes to be" into German and he will answer "wer hat was es zu sein braucht" and that sounds really philosophical.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">So this are my three oportunities for a different titel for the book "The Giver". I hope you enjoyed the entire blog-thing as much as I did. I mean it was hard to get into it and for some it was sometimes hard to take their thoughts into the right words but at the end -this is the point where your head should shake in a sign that you want to admit- it was a cool time we spend simultaneously in front of the screen and our nose sunk into the book.</span></div>Jantienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706982181927958394noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297804819209910494.post-65670286896826153842011-04-12T13:59:00.000-07:002011-05-03T13:17:06.154-07:00After they left the community<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">(Rewriting of the days after)</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jonas can hear Gabe crying in his seat behind him but he can't hear the voice anymore. Till he left his community he heared the loudspeakers ringing alarm THE NEW RECIEVER RUN AWAY. The awareness of Gabe sitting right behind him kept him away from insanity. Of course he'd never been so far away but he feels such a pain in his heart. A part of him aware of being nearly alone now another part preparing for tomorrows ceremony. He hesistated just for a second that peddaled faster than befor. No, he can't go back now. It's decided. No way back. His legs ached but he just pedaled on. He loses alignment. There was just one road to nowhere. He doesn't evem know how to survive the next week. Gabe struggled. Jonas don't know what he should do next.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The days past eventless. At night he was pedaling. At day they were sleeping. Jonas was aware of the crying in his back and that was the only thing which induces him to go one.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After a couple of days Jonas could see a building at the horizon. He pedaled faster. There wasn't enough water for them two since the last night so Jonas had to halve his part so that Gabe have his whole dose. When he reached the house he dismounts from his bike took Gabe and moved to the door. Going wasn't as easy as riding his legs felt like jelly. When he reached the door he could here a sound coming from inside. <i>Music.</i> He could remember the word. The Giver once used it. For the first time after he left the community he felt heartsick because he left the Giver -his friend.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jonas knocked on the door and the music stopped abrupt. Then silence. After a while the door opened just a little. In the gap between door and doorframe he could see a face directly looking at him. Then the door opened. There was a young woman standing in the frame and frightened looking behind him. Then she tokked his arms and pull him into the house. Gabe smiled. Jonas was wondered who this woman might be. She must have been at his age but she seemed much older. "Who are you?" Jonas asked with confusion. "Doesn't matter.""Oh of course it matters. Who are you?" The woman turned to him looking at Gabriel. "I'm the one who will never be the same." Oh that was exactly what Jonas needed. Enigmas. "Just tell me who you are." Jonas wasn't angry at this person her face was too lovely to be angry about her. "Rosemary"</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">His hearbeat got stuck. What did she just say. Rosemary really. That can't be. He looked into her eyes and saw the same paleness that he saw when he had looked into a mirror or into the Givers face. He exactly weight out the coincidence. Could this really be. No it can't because Rosemary -meaning the Givers daughter- had been released. He stared at her. She killed herself. That was what the giver had told him. "Where are you from? What's your history?".</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"I don't even know you why should I tell this to you?" Jonas flipped forward and grabbed her shoulders. He transmittered her his memories of the last year. She ripped her eyes. "No this can't be."</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The last three weeks pasted such eventful. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rosemary felt in love with Jonas.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After he told her the entire truth and told her about the past ten years (just the facts he could remember at) she asked him to stay with him forever. She also told him about her truth and mentioned her "Immortality". One evening as they sat at the fire in the livingroom she told him why she is still as young as he is. "After a year I noticed that I don't age any more. It's complicated but after a time it's simple to understand." There are so many new things for Jonas that he thought he could handle that too. During the first week she told him everything about her survival out in the nowhere. She showed him the colourful landscape, the fields, the flowers and much more. They both take care of Gabe and did a kind of adoption. She continued. "We're in nowhere. So many rules don't suit this place. But our age changes." "But...-" "Shhhhhh just listen. I'm not a Twelve anymore because this system doesn't suit this place. But I didn't age neither. I'm a full adult and you're too. We reach the adult-status and stop aging. It's our own system." Jonas felt a tear on his cheek. From here to infinty with his love Rosemary and his "son" Gabriel. "From here to infinity" she wispered and Jonas saw a single tear rolling down her cheek.</span></div>Jantienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706982181927958394noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297804819209910494.post-87706631467983332862011-04-12T12:36:00.000-07:002011-04-12T12:36:04.315-07:00chapter 20<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In chapter 20 Jonas and the Giver pointed out a way for Jonas to escape.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What I will focuse on is the last paragraph the part where the Giver tells the real truth about Rosemary.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At the point where Jonas pleased the Giver to come with him the Giver denies. He said he's going to stay with his daughter. Jonas is a bit amazed because he just knew that the Giver has a spouse but not a daughter. When the Giver said that his daughters name was Rosemary he looked happy and for Jonas it seems that the Giver looks truly happy for the first time that he knew him. What must the Giver had felt when he lost his daughter and it was kind of his fault? He has been the one who gave her this memories who has been the trigger for her apartness and for her release. He lost a daughter ba giving her her will -her will to learn more. But she wanted to know more because she was going to be the new Receiver. And how could it be that his own daughter fits the qualities for the selection. I thik he doesn't thought so. Maybe his behaviour -his cautious- rubbed off on his daughter. Or was she drilled to be the new Receiver? I didn't think so because he know of the mental pain. He does not want the same pain for his daughter that he made through. And after what I've read only ones with pale eyes can get Receivers. So why was Rosemary given to the Giver and his spouse? They don't know about the pain of course that must have been the fact. maybe they thought that the pale eyes are an advantage for Rosemary to be given to this family unit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As a conclusion it must have been a hard time for the Giver to see what his daughter mades through and how she disappeared. It must have been very complicated for him and his spouse and espacially for him because he know what his dauhters reason was and because he "gave" her this reason.</span>Jantienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706982181927958394noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297804819209910494.post-50531498595224513562011-04-12T05:20:00.000-07:002011-04-12T05:20:55.174-07:00Chapter 19<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Summary</span></b></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In the beginning of chapter 19 Jonas told the Giver that his father is releasing a twin that morning. Then Jonas said that he would like to watch the release of the twin but he also thinks that the release is already finished and he thinks that he isn't able to watch it neither. The Giver reminds him of his training instructions. There is one instruction which said that Jonas is allowed to ask anyone anything. But Jonas thinks that this situation doesn't fit into the instuction. The Giver told him that one time he'll have the access to <i>everything</i>. If he wants to watch a release he have simply to ask. The Giver ordered to see the release of the twin. A screen turned on and the release of the morning. Jonas and the Giver watch the release of the morning. A screen turned on and they start to watch the release. The release remebers the Giver of the release of Rosemary so he's quite. Jonas kept on watching the screen and sees how his father injected a liquid in to the forehead of the baby-boy. The little boy doesn't move any longer and Jonas feel a familar expression but he can't remember where it is from. Then he remember it. It was the same expression he feel when he saw the light-haired bloodied soldier. He know that his father had killed the newborn. He saw his father picking up a carton anf´d lifted the little body into the carton and closed the lid tightly. Jonas then feel a terrible pain clawing its way forward to emerge a cry.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> -the Giver told him about Rosemary the prior twelve that </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> have been selected to be the new Receiver</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> -After her fifth week Rosemary wanted some more </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> difficult memories </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> -the Giver transmitted lonlyness and loss to her</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">p.112/ll.18:-Jonas asked the Giver what would happen if he had an </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> accident</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> the memories lost too?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> -the Giver told him that when he lost the memories came </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> back to the people because memories are <i>forever</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i> -</i>if Jonas get lost the community would have to handle</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> with the memories he collected till then</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So it was very hard for Rosemary to handle the hard stuff will Jonas be able to handle it ?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Host</span>:" Tonight Ladies and Gentelman we'll have the biggest contention in our show <i><b>ever</b></i>.

Let's welcome our tonights starguests." <i>hurricane of applause.</i></span><br />
<div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Giver and Jonas entered the studio. Audience begin to scream especially the female.

So Receiver tell us about your training. What are you actually doing? Do you fight? Do you learn more than we do? What are you actually doing?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Jonas</span> <i>concentrating</i>:"Training starts like all trainings after school but that's a fact that the most should know because I go to school like everyone else.

So I thought to record this facts for each chapter. up to now Jonas already received some memories ...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">chapter 11 - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><b>snow</b></span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><b>sled</b></span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><b>hill</b></span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><b>sunshine</b></span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>sunburn</b></span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">chapter 12 - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><b>"red"</b></span> ( color, capacity to see beyond), <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">rainbow</span></b></span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">...as you can see I've chosen different colours to mark whether a memory is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">good resp. normal </span>or <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">bad resp. painful</span>.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">During chapter 12 the author explained how it must be to receive the memories: You're still in the room from where you started your "journey" - rather your body is still their, it stays in its basic position-, you can move or change your position while you "went" through the world which is shown in the memories, you can feel the settings of this imagined world. The timeframe of being in this memory-world depends, it could be two or three hours or minutes but at the end just a few minutes past in the real world. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jonas experiences all this properties during his first two receives.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When the Giver transmitted the memories to him the giver lost his memory of the given memory but in most cases the giver owns more than just one memory, sometimes thousands of. To see a memory again you just have to think of it, remember the experience.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Chapter 11 starts with Jonas' feelings while the Receiver transmits the memory.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jonas can feel the snow ,the coldness and the snowflakes brushing his tongue. A part of him was still aware that his body was lying on the bed in the Annex room. After Jonas made a physical ride on a sled he "came back" to the Annex room.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now I'll try to translate the average part of the chapter into a roleplaying script</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jonas wake up from his memory response</span></i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver:</span> "Whew" <i>pause</i> "It was exhausting. But you know, even transmitting this tiny memory to you- I think it lightened me just a little."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas:</span> "Do you mean- you did say I could ask questions?"<i>-Receiver nodded-</i> "Do you mean that now you don't have the memory of it- of that ride on the sled- anymore?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Reciever:</span> " That's right. A little weight of this old body."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas:</span> "But it was such fun! And ow you don't have it anymore! I <b>took</b><i> </i>it from you!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver</span> <i>laughing</i> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">:</span> "All I gave you was one ride, on one sled, in one snow, one hill. I have a whole world of them to you one by one, a thousand times, and there would still be more."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas:</span> "Are you saying that I -I mean we- could do it again? I'd really like to.I think I could steer, by pulling the rope. I didn't try this time, because it was so new."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver </span><i>shaking his head laughing</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">:</span> "Maybe another day, for a treat. But there's no time, really, just to play. I only wanted to begin by showing you how it works.Now lie back down. I want to - "</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas</span> <i>lie back down eager</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">:</span> "Why don't we have snow, and sleds, and hills? And whendid we, in the past? Did my parents have sleds when they were young? Did you?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver</span> <i>shrugging and laughing</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">:</span> "No. It's a very distant memory. That's why it was so exhausting- I had to tug it forward from many generations back. It was given to me when I was the new Receiver, and the previous Receiver had to pill it through a long time period, too."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas:</span> "But what happend to this things? Snow, and the rest of it?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver:</span> "Climate Control. Snow made growing food difficult, limited the agriculture periods. An unpredictable weather made transportation almost impossible at times. It wasn't a practical thing, so it became obsolete when we went to Sameness. And hills, too, they made conveyance of goods unwieldy. Trucks, buses. Slowed them down. So-" <i>waving his hand. as if a gesture had caused hills to disappear</i> "Sameness,"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Jonas:</span> "I wish we had those things, still. Just now and then."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Receiver</span> <i>smiling</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">:</span> " So do I, but that choise is not ours."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After this first response and this discussion the Receiver give Jonas a second memory without telling him the name of the thing he want to show him. The Receiver wanted to see how Jonas' receiving works. Jonas felt warmth on his back now he didn't move in his position he was still lying and after a short time he receives the name of the "thing" :<i>sunshine</i>. He realizes that it came from the sky. Jonas told the Receiver that he gave them the memory of <i>sunshine</i> and the Receiver said that the fact of Jonas getting the word really quick made his work much easier because he doesn't have to explain so much. The Receiver realizes that Jonas receives good and learns very quickly. After the Receiver told Jonas that their finished for today Jonas asked the Receiver if it really would be painful- how everybody said- and the Receiver affirmed it. The Receiver shows Jonas by experience the "power of the sun" what it means that it could be painful. Jonas got a <i>sunburn</i>. In receiving-time he passed about a few hours even if his real-me just passed one or two minutes. At the end of the chapter Jonas asked the man how he could call him. The man told him to call him <b><i>The Giver</i></b></span>Jantienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706982181927958394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297804819209910494.post-28325138737223533732011-04-05T15:02:00.000-07:002011-04-05T23:16:42.475-07:00Chapter 10: Vocab list<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For chapter 11 I've chosen to make a vocab list ... english to english.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I'll post a picture on memories which will appear in the next chapter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In my opinion it's an amazing picture. The colours point out the straightness of the communities belief in education, morality,conservatism and the "sternness" moreover it's the first coloured picture because only jonas is able to see the colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The motive shows the "dreamful behavior" of the community. In opposite to our community structure it is fogged for the members to see beyond (only the receiver can see beyond-> fourth quality <-colour) the "camouflage-tactic" of the authority-system.</span><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">for chapter nine I wanted to point out what Jonas feelings are and I wanted to test something really new. So I picked out some songs in piano version and started creating my own " Jonas-feelings-backgroundmusic". It bears on the beginning of chapter nine <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">[til 57/4]</span></b>. While preparing my backgroundmusic I figured out that it's hard to catch the perfect tempo because everybody has got his/her own reading-tempo. Some slow - some fast. Because I don't know how fast you are in reading English texts I focused the "backgroundmusic" on a slower reading-tempo than mine. Doesn't mean that it fits your tempo and 'cause it could be dizzying to figure out where's a cliff or a pause I made a scan with the locations where you can take a deep breath :) .</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Please note that it's not suitable for a "first reading task" more for a "pre reading task".You won't need your book!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's just to get deeper into Jonas feelings by listenign to the music. </span><br />
