  PPrroobblleemm  Theproblem of the story is the government controls all the community and they make all people are color blind (except Jonas, he starts see colors while he was 11). There are no climates and no sunlight in the community no pain, and no hunger.  Jonas feels unfair and he disagree with the government. He wants that people can see colors and let them choose whatever they wants. Also in the community they have releasing rules when people are against the rule. Releasing by it self doesn't have real meaning. All people are release different ways. There also release one baby when they are twin. Gabriel is the one who is going to be released but he couldn't be released because he has sleeping problem.  “Release” makes people sad and happy sometimes. So Jonas, as a new receiver disagree about these rules.

Jonas almost gives up with this but with his courageousness he doing it well.  The Giver planned to “release” Jonas out of the community because he knows that Jonas is going to be lose his patient here. So the Giver ask him to go out the community with Gabriel his brother because Gabriel seems going to be like Jonas when he grows up and in a reason that Gabriel has been transferred memory from Jonas.  At the end of the story they got problems while they are escaping from the community.

  OOppiinniioonn  Thestory of this book is really interesting. It has a lot of mystery inside (ex: At the end of the story is not clear). This book could be a dystopia which is strange and everything could become bad.  Living in the Jonas' community is like a machine because everything is controlled and it is such fake life. If I were Jonas I might change the rule no matter how I do the act because I agree with Jonas that that community is unfair. It is like a mini world which only habited of his community. But there also the positive side of this story which is the public has no fear, no hunger, and no pain which is good I think.  “Release” in this story according to my opinion is get out of the community, not death. Then at the end of the story I believe Jonas is not dead with Gabriel. They found a new life after they lost in a snowy mountain and slide down the mountain because in the condition that really extreme, Jonas transfers memory to Gabriel a memory of warm. So its possible that they both survive. Also they found a house which has Christmas tree that is full of lights and Jonas hears music for the first time.
