Chapter 19 The Giver
The Giver tells Jonas to watch the recording of the twin's release. Jonas is disgusted when he realizes that his father kills the twin. His father shows no remorse or emotion. After viewing the release, the Giver tells Jonas that Rosemary performed her own release.
Rosemary!
In chapter 18 we find out about the previous receiver, Rosemary. She asked to be released after just 5 weeks of training! The Giver seems to be thinking about a way "out" for Jonas! Hmmm......I wonder........?
Chapter 17 The Giver
Today is an unscheduled holiday! Jonas is happy but he realizes that his family really feels NOTHING! Jonas sees Asher playing in a field. The kids are all playing "war." He asks the children, "please don't play it anymore", he can't help but relive the memories he has of warfare. Asher gets smart with Jonas and then apologizes. Fiona asks Jonas to go for a bike ride, he says "no".
In the evening at home, Father talks about the releasing tomorrow. He tells how he will make the lighter twin comfy and prepare it for Elsewhere. Jonas asks if someone from elsewhere gets the twin....father says yes. In the end Lily is chattering about the idea of everyone being a twin......maybe she would be a good storyteller.
