The Giver (Chapters 5-6)

It was telling of the feelings and everybody shared what they dreamed. Jonas usually does not have a dream but this time he had a vivid dream. His dream was about Jonas being in the House of Old in a steamy bathroom and wanted to bathe his friend, Fiona. "It was a strong wanting." he says. Looks like Jonas is going through puberty. But the weird thing was that his parents gave him a pill from preventing those dreams. Why would they give it to him?!?! Even his parents said that it was perfectly normal. It was weird anyway. Is there a pill that prevents those dreams?

This community's rules are very abstract and strange. Like at every year, the child changes age, thats perfectly normal but they also get limited items at a very certain age. They give bikes to the children that turn nine-ONLY NINE. That is really strange. In here-real world- people can get bikes when they turn 4 or even 30!
On the other hand, I really enjoy this book.
