Chapter 20:
Jonas and the Giver create a plan to escape. Would you make a plan to escape and risk your life, or would you stay there? Why?

I think I would make an ascape plan but I think I would try to make a plan so It will succeed and I will not have to die. I think I would make the plan because I think its important that the community will know all of those important facts of life, expirience pain and know what is realy happening in their lives.

ReplyDeleteI think I would make a plan to escape because I don't want to be in a place that I don't feel good at it, uncomfortable and not belong.
ReplyDeleteI would risk my life because if I will succeed I will be much happier and if I won't succeed at least I won't suffer.
I would make a plan to escape and risk my life because the community is too strict for me. I think that when I'll learn and feel love and feelings and when I'll see people dying because they are old or "not perfect enough" I won't be able to come back. I think that life without choices, feelings and very strict rules aren't able to be called REAL life. I think that I should risk my life instead of watching ,y friends and family living in a lie.
ReplyDeleteI think I would of made a plane to escape. All though, I would of done it in a later part of my life, perhaps in the eand of my trainig, so that more memories would be transformed to the community. If I would of done that, they would be more traumatized and it would effect the change more, which will get a higher chance of making a change in the community. I would be willing to risk my life in the escape because it would make me know that it would make a change. And, i would prefer escaping than living the boring life each member of the community lives.

DeleteI would make a plan to escape and risk my life just like Jonas did because the community is an afoul place to live but I think I would bring more food and hot cloths because Jonas and Gabriel almost freeze to death and almost starve.
ReplyDeleteWe would make a plan to escape and risk our lives because we think that the community is not the place that people need to live in, because:
ReplyDeletethis is a place with lots of strict rules and all the people are the same.
In the Elsewhere (our real world) people can hear music, see colors, do what they want, have feelings and are individual.

Im so sorry. Maybe this is my rebellious nature. But I think, all these comments are just heroic and unrealistic. Think again.
ReplyDeleteI would not risk my life, to leave to an unknown place, not knowing if it even exists, just because I would want a more interesting life.
Life vs Fun.... Hmmm...
I agree with Itay Chechik - I think most people just say they will make a plan, but if they really were in Jonas's position, they would never be heroic and brave enough to leave their home and go to a place anyone has ever been to before knowing they can't come back. But I do think that I wouldn't be able to keep living in that society after knowing the truth about love and feelings and choices, so I would probably try to find another way to give the people of the Community memories without risking my life.
ReplyDeleteI would really make a plan - and I'm not trying to be heroic - because when you have a life with nothing new really happening in it, and when you know there is something else, it is so boring that I would freak out. It's similar to sitting in a prison where you can talk to people, somebody tries to escape and somebody doesn't. It's up to you.
ReplyDeleteI would run away because I can't stay there and watch the people in the community living in lies. I would come up with a plan and escape even if it's dangerous for me because I rather try to do something and fail than not doing anything.

ReplyDeleteI would run away from there as soon as possible because it's hard to live there. Without emotions, memories, it is very difficult. and i agree with gaia,I would bring more food and hot cloths .
I honestly do not think I would do such a thing as risking my own life escaping everything I ever knew and loved, even if it seems to me empty and emotionless at this point. I do not think that leaving alone without any knowledge about the outside world and only a few tools to survive is such a good idea, and besides, I do not think I have the courage to do such a thing. So yes, I would probably stay at the place where I was, but from now, I would do anything trying to change it and the way of life within it. I would try to teach other people of feeling and emotions, I would try to go against the whole term of "releasing", so I would not only save my own skin, but make the other people life somewhat better.

ReplyDeleteI would make a plan to escape fromplace like this, because I know that I have alot of things to complete and do in my life. I all ready receaved the memories and the feelings like love, pain, family, so I have the Knowledge to handle the risk in running away from that society. I belive that no one should lie, so if I would live in a place that no one knows the truth, I would not be able to live that way. I would be prepered to the journey, and and I will be courage.
I would like to escape because I think that siting and watching the other people living without a clue of whats happening is much worst. I would think that the people who lives in the community deserves to know the feelings and the colors.
ReplyDeleteI think I would make a plan to escape but I would plan it much better than Jonas did, I would take more clothes, more food, more water and maybe some kind of tent. I think that with a plan like this I would want to go to somewhere else and leave this community.
ReplyDeleteI think that staying there shouldn't be called "living" (you can't choose anything and nobody can understand you). I would definitely escape, because even if I die, at least I lived to do so (to die).
ReplyDeleteI do not think I would take the risk of escape what is - and I know that it stays from a very strict about rules and greater risk they could catch me trying to run away so I would not want to take the risk even trying to escape. Whether it is small, and caught.
ReplyDeleteI would plan to escape the community and risk my life just to save gaberiel because if I wouldn't run away or if I didn't take him after I did then he would be released the day after and that would leave me scarred for life
