Perfect World?
Jonas' world is considered perfect because everything is the same and not different. Everyone in his community must do the same thing. It is very obvious that there is no color and everything is in black and white. This is why Jonas wants to run away; to go to the new world with color and everything and everyone is different. If I were Jonas, I would give up my toys and everything I own because other kids would need it more than I do. I would because it wouldn't matter because all of the games would be black and white and in no detail. Everyone would have all of the same toys. Clearly, I think what happened in The Giver and Jonas' community made him run away to go to a better place.
Music?
Music is a big part of our society's daily life. We hear music everywhere whether its on the streets, at home, the store, or in the elevator. In fact while trying this blog I am listening to drake. I like all sorts of music categories and i like whats in right now. As you can see music is a great thing to listen to.
If I were to transmit two memories to Jonas I would tell one good and one bad. I would chose a historical one like World War II or 9/11, because it changed our society greatly. Also I would give a happy one like at a US soccer game in the crazy fan section so they hear the joyful and funny chants.

If i had one memory to give i would talk about waking up early in the morning to get on a boat for fishing. I would explain the cool orange sunrise and the steamy fog coming off the lake. I would give the memory of the slimy fish that bite onto your line and the adrenaline that comes to bringing the fish into the boat. I would also tell about the sounds of nature, like the chirping of birds, the buzzing of bugs, and the sounds of the water.
Story?
If an Elder were to tell a story about me they would probably explain how i can't sit still and how i would like to spend most of my time doing exciting things. They would also talk about how i love to spend my time with people wether its with family and friends. And they would talk about how I take pride in the things and activities I enjoy to do.

2) At this point in my life I have no clue i want my career to be and I don't care as long as I enjoy it. Im sure if my parents chose a career for me they would chose something that i would like. As long as I enjoy it i would be happy with my parents choosing for me.
