The Giver: Analysis of Jonas

Donor: On the analysis surface of Jonas, Jonas is the same as the other 11-year-old boy who lives in his community. He thinks he is more serious than his own life and is worried about his future and Usher of his friend. He likes to learn and experience new things. As he enjoys the freedom of choice offered by the volunteer's time, he chooses to volunteer at various centers rather than concentrating on one. He also likes to learn and connect with others, and is enthusiastic about getting more warmth and interpersonal relationship than society forgives and encourages.

Donors explained love to Jonas. In the book, to explain love, the donor gave Jonas his window of his favorite memory, a window to share a warm and special Christmas family. In the movie, Jonas learned about love from the word of "talent", but until he got close to a baby Gabriel who "he does not know" he truly experienced this. Jonas threatened to leave the donor after the first war in the movie. In that book, when he received memories of war from the mentor, he wanted to leave, but I felt that there was no alternative but to come back. He has time to raise more, but he is also coping with mental suffering. In the movie, Jonas has less time to spend with donors to keep the rhythm and appeal of the movie.

Throughout the year, Jonas cooperated with donors and received many memories of the past - both fun and painful. In the meantime, Jonas noticed how community citizens are restricted from making their own choices. He learned that nobody except himself and donor could see the color or have real, true feelings. Jonas believes that it will be wonderful if you can make your own decisions, but that is a troublesome life. As the next 12 rituals, the donor told Jonas that he is planning to release all memories to the entire community.
