His journey begins with him feeling apprehensive about a ceremony that is held for every child that turns 12 that year. This special ceremony is his calling to receive his"assignment" in the community. The "Receiver of Memories" is the special role the council of the community gives to Jonas. Jonas knows this title is very important and when he accepts it from the council, it is his threshold.The society that Jonas lives in, is a place where equality or "sameness" have been achieved. A place where war, hatred, and violence have been made obsolete. Love, unfortunately has also been wiped out. But memories of what life was like still exist to an individual who has the title of "Receiver of Memories". So Jonas who has been chosen to become the new receiver must go to the current receiver to start his training. His descent takes place when he goes to see the receiver for his training.The current receiver becomes Jonas's mentor. But now since Jonas is the new receiver his mentor is now the "Giver".

As time passed on and the memories that he had received about love and the joy life could be, he started to think about releasing the memories to the community.

hero's journey

the hero's journey is basically a hero of every movie or book who goes threw pain,obstacles and faces dangers in order to get where he needs be. that's why i think that that the hero's journey relates to the book The Giver because in the book Jonas is born with a gift, a gift that makes him diff rent from anybody alts and at the same time a hero.Jonas was only twelve when he was called to be the receiver of memory Jonas was scared, he didn't know what the meant or until later he would leave his home and and start his training with the giver,which would be his mentor. i think that every hero goes threw a time where they find out about themselves just like Jonas did.

when Jonas got the first taste of how the world was really like,Jonas felt cold because that was the first memory he received from the giver but later he felt sadness, anger ,love ,happiness and violence. it was then when Jonas realized the cruel ways there town lives in.

Jonas was angry at the way people aloud people or baby's to die and then called it a realise,he was also sad that his dad was a part of it Jonas was full of anger and sadness at the same time when he saw the poor baby get realised he couldn't look at his dad but then again there was nothing that he could do about it it was Joneses job to receive and to take the pain that every one should be going threw.Jonas had a little brother his name was Gabe Jonas and Gabe had the same gray eyes that made them diff rent and special,Jonas was told that Gabe was going to be realised if he didn't grow a certain amount, so Jonas knowing what that meant he came up with a plan a plan to escape and let every one feel what he was feeling Jonas told the giver his plan to see what he would say the giver "said it would be a disaster but i could work if they planned it well.so they planed it the plan was that Jonas would run away as far as he could so that they couldn't find him.

the plan was set but what Jonas didn't know was that after the day that people would wake up and not find him would be the day Gabe would be realised when Jonas herd this from his parents his plans changed. the day Finally came and Gabe and Jonas took off. The people in there town looked for them and never found them Jonas and Gabe got to their happy place and the people back in there town were left to deal with there own feelings, i think that Jonas was a hero in this book because he saved Gabe his little brothers life and said enough took a chance and got his happy ending .

The hero's journey is what the hero has to go through to become that hero. Every hero goes through a tragedy, and with a tragedy comes much more.

The hero's journey relates to the book The Giver, because the little boy(Jonas) goes through,tragedies, creations, mentoring, etc.

The calling for Jonas is when he was at the ceremony of twelve and got the job of being the receiver, and getting memories for the first time. The old man (the giver) is the mentor of Jonas. He is the one giving Jonas all the memories, and by these memories he felt emotions no one in the community has felt like love, hate, violence and how people could have choices.

The tragedy of The Giver is when Jonas finds out that Gabe (his little brother) is going to be released (killed) because he is different, he has colored eyes, like all the people that can receive memories which leads to Jonas's thresh hold which is when he decides he is going to leave the community.

Jonas abyss is when he gets Gabe because they were going to release him, so he got his bike and left the community. he didn't now where he was going but he new he was close, he heard music, the sound felt so good. for Jonas this was his transformation, he realized the world could be a better place.

Crystal Schmiesing- Final Exam Essay

Jonas from The Giver for sure completed a hero’s journey. It took a lot to have to take the pain of being the giver. Knowing what others could not, having no one to tell. No one to talk to about all his pain, suffering, and anger. Dealing with everything basically on his own, how could you not go crazy, I mean really? I would go insane. Having to deal with pain, pain you’ve never known before. The only pain you’ve ever known was slamming you finger in the door. How did he handle it so well? I can’t even imagine.
When Jonas had to show up his first day at the Giver’s house he walked in and saw a lady sitting at a desk. She called the giver on a little intercom asking if Jonas could be let in, he noticed that the Giver’s place had locks on all the doors. Which was very odd to him seeing as how nothing was supposed to have locks. When he stepped into the room where the Giver was the first thing he noticed were all these books. There were shelves and shelves of them. He thought it was amazing how the Giver could just turn off the announcements.
Jonas really didn’t like having to be the giver. It meant being alone, for the most part, because as it said you couldn’t tell anyone anything, you can’t show anyone your pain. They couldn’t understand even if you were able to tell them. You have to remember they know nothing of pain, all they know is "perfect", which means they honestly know nothing at all. They know rules, they’re taught to do what is consider right, when they do something wrong they get a get a slap on the hand and are assumed to never do it again. Like once Jonas was waiting in line to get a snack and out loud he said he wanted his smack because well he was a little kid what did he know. So they gave him his smack.
The heroic part of this story, I think, was when Jonas planned to run away but when he found out that they were going to release( kill) Gabe he decided he had to take him with him. That was just about the most exciting part of the book, he gets on his bike and he makes it out of the community. He keeps going and going and its like he makes it to the real world, with real people who feel and think for them selves. As if the communities he’d been in and seen and heard about were just a dream. There was color and life, there was actually snow.
