The Giver-Chapter 1-5

           Jonas and all its citizens, including his family live under a government that control people.  The government organize almost all the parts of the citizens life, like what is going to be their profession. Also the government is very extrict because citizens  have 3 strikes, if they do something wrong they have one strike and when they get to 3 strikes and they are released. Release means when you go to somewhere else, like you are not anymore part of the community you are with. When you do something wrong they say it in a monitor and all people can hear it but they doesn't say your name because they don't want you to be humiliated.

           In that community is not to tolerated the differences that is why there are no  mirrors  so people can't look at each other. If you point out a difference is a strike and also they say it in the monitor. The government has all organized, each age have a group, like there is a group of 12 years    ( were Jonas is). Parents doesn't have their own babys, there is a ceremony were they give to parents a baby (is not there own baby, is of someone else). Is obligated for kids to work extra hours in places that they can help like  in a hospital, so they can choose the profession they want to.

           I think that this book that we are reading (The Giver) is very interesting because is showing how can government have so much control over its citizens. Also the book is interesting to me because it when you start reading you want to keep reading it forever because it always leaves you with one thing more important than the other so you want to know what would happened next, it creates fun and suspense at the same time.
