giver questions

question 2: Compare the relationship Jonas has with the giver to the relationship he has with his mother, father, and sister.

Jonas's relationship with his family is completely different from the average family portrayed in our normal society. their relationship is more like something required, or forced, fake, unnatural. family in the community seems to mean to have people just to discipline and guide you, no love. on the other hand, Jonas's relationship with the Giver is pure. The relationship is more like that of a normal family in our world. A grandfather to son relationship.

question 4: Explain why feelings the memories have been eliminated from jonas community.

Feelings and emotions have been eliminated from Jonas's community because that would completely ruin the point of actually constructing the community and its environment. it would totally change the idea of utopia to its exact opposite. Yes, even though there are pleasant and joyful feelings in the world, even those along with the dark emotions can change the course of the society for better and for worse. This idea would also interfere with the concept of sameness in the community. If people in the community had emotions and feelings, that would open up new doors and opportunities for each individual, which in turn, would give people different opinions, this would without a doubt lead to disagreement between each other.

question 5: How realistic is the novel? Could that society exist?

Most aspects of the novel are realistic and could exist, though there are some things that seem unrealistic such as the transfer of memories from Giver to Jonas which seems a little too "magical" for the story itself. despite this, a society such as this one--- or similar to this one---could exist, there are possibilities. I would imagine it as a government experiment of some sort.
