The Giver (Chapters 3-4)

In chapters 3-4, Jonas's father brings in the newborn, Gabriel, into their homes. Lily started commenting Gabriel and she really liked him and was happy to have another family member. If I were in Lily's or Jonas's place, I would've been a little worried. I would've been a little worried because there is a new kid, my parents are gonna pay more attention to the newborn and they're not going to have any time for me. It was exactly the same when my sister was born.

Another thing that has surprised me was that Lily wants to be a birth mother. That means that she will give birth to newborns and the problem is that, she'll never see her biological children. That would be sad because you wouldn't see them nor be able to talk to them. If I were Lily I would never be a birth mother. I would be a nurturer rather than that.

In chapter four, Jonas and his friend, Asher started to volunteer different places. It had different variates and different jobs. I think that that is really a great idea. I would do that-if I had time. I would do the same thing as Jonas because it taught me different things and maybe do work that I probably thought I would never be able to do.
