Memory moment

Jonas wanting to feel stirrings again  p.39

Guiding question: why might this memory might be important?
 This memory might be important because this shows that Jonas was feeling wanted which meant he was stirrings, and it was his first time. Jonas had remembered that stirring was in a rule book. It had to be reported so that the person who had a stirrings would have to get treatment for it. This connects to conflict because when a person has a dream or as they reffer it as a stirring. For some reason they will be needed to have treatment for it, such as pills. His mother also told them that if he didn't take the pills, the stirrings would come back.

A book by Lois Lowry while reading the book The Giver lots of memory moments were spotted in the book. One specific memory moment is when Jonas had wanted to feel stirrings again. In chapter 5 Jonas was dreaming, he was feeling wanted in his dream which meant he was stirrings, as his mother told him. He then had to take treatment for it to stop. But then he wanted to feel stirrings again (wanted). "He remembered that upon walking, he had wanted to feel the stirrings again.

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome! My name is Alexis, I'm currently in 8th grade. My favorite subject is art, a academic subject I enjoy is math. On my free time I love drawing, it's the only thing I do when I'm not on my phone.

One of my goals is to be successful and being able to be a good person. When I grow up I would like to be an artist, but I want that talent to be useful in someways. Like portraits, art work, and painting or drawing to be hung in a museum.

Thanks for viewing my blog!
