Recommended: Significant trauma and personal growth essay

It has been too long since I last wrote to you, so I thought I would inform you on momentous events that happened in my life in the last little while. The previous time I heard from you was when Gabriel turned three. I can’t believe he is about to become a teenager now. My goodness, time flies by so fast. I was so ecstatic when I saw your prior letter arrive in my mail. It had been nearly nine years since we had any communication, so I thought we should get back into the habit of updating one another. How have you been Jonas? How’s Gabriel? I hope the both of you are both doing well. I missed the two of you dearly. Many things happened here when you were away. After you left the community we were left in complete ruins. The whole population went through such a traumatic state with the unanticipated release of memories. They affected everybody so much, and The Giver could only help us recover to a sufficient amount. The memories were a source of wisdom, but also of pain. It was a rough patch, but we went through it and acquired a learning experience from it. The whole community was in such despair with your sudden disappearance. However, I’m glad you escaped the community, for without it, the society would still be isolated, unattached from the wisdom of the past. …show more content…

The images I saw were indescribable. I was extremely shocked to have found out that you were able to handle it every day as your training. However, there were also pleasant memories that brought me splendid

    The Community keeps the memories away from the people, which means that they ignore their past, and cannot gain wisdom or bliss. For example, when the Giver was explaining what memories are to Jonas, he says, “There’s much more… I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future,”(Lowry 78). The Giver describes how wisdom comes in this quote.

    At the end of “The Giver” Jonas finds a small village in elsewhere, however, many people are skeptical that this is true.. On page 166 of “The Giver” the author wrote, “Using his final strength, and a special knowledge that was deep inside him, Jonas found the sled that was waiting for him on top of the hill.” Some people believe that he actually found the sled and others believe that he was hallucinating because he was freezing to death in the cold. I believe that Jonas was hallucinating from the cold because it seems more practical. My justifications for this belief are first, his state of being, second, it can be hypothesized from the quote, “His entire concentration now had to be on moving his feet, warming Gabriel and himself, and going forward” which is found on page 165, and finally this theory could be proven by looking at the descriptions of the memories given to him versus what

    In The Giver, a narrative by Lois Lowry, Jonas’s father illustrates his feelings during his Ceremony of Twelve and Jonas tells about his own feelings concerning the forthcoming event. In the text it states, “‘But to be honest, Jonas,’ his father said, ‘for me there was not the element of suspense that there is with your ceremony. Because I was already fairly certain of what my Assignment was to be,’”(Lowry, paragraph 3). This segment of text elucidates the reason of Jonas’s father’s lack of surprise of his Assignment. As stated above, Jonas’s father was already certain of his Assignment, which he continues to explain to be a Nurturer. Jonas’s father explains that as a result of the love he showed all the Newchildren and the time he spent at

    Imagine a place where there is no color, no choice, a place where individuality and freedom has been traded for sameness and security. Lowry has created such a place in the novel The Giver. This place, or rather community, is presumed to be in the future and is supposed to be a utopia where everyone conforms to the rules. The citizens have no connection with their past or what they have given up. There are only two people who can remember. One is the Giver and the other is the Receiver of Memory. These two people are the main characters in this story. The Giver is an old man that the council of elders turns to when they have a problem. He listens to their proposals and then tells them what they should do by basing his decisions on the

    This song incorporates multiple social psychological principles because of the complexity of the artists emotions and love to the woman he is addressing in the song. As I listen to the song, Nick Jonas appears to express a passionate love for the woman in this song. Based on Hatfield, depending on the state of arousal, this type of emotion can be steered in several emotions based on the type of arousal that he is experiencing (Myers, 421). Since arousal involves both body and mind, the lyrics imply that Nick is experiencing both physical and emotional feelings because he wants to get close to someone but he knows she is afraid of getting too close. He is drawn to this girl and there is a strong passion that emits through the lyrics.
