I thought that The Giver was a good book. I thought that it was sad that they released them instead of letting them live their whole life. I would probably attempt to escape because we should be free instead of being trapped in a little community. If I were the Receiver I would like it because I would get to see happy things that no one else could see. It would make me see things that no one else could see like color and I would be able to hear things that no one else could like music. I think that Jonas lived happily with the people in the house he found along with Gabe because he had that memory of family and I think that those people will take him and Gabe as their own children.

The Giver made me feel weird because their world is so bland, and lifeless. I think release is messed up because they KILL them that would be horrible.I would leave I couldn't stand living like that it would kill me.If I where given the task of receiver I would get every memory I could then leave so the community would be more filled with life.I would tell about color and love. what I think happened after the story ended was that Jonas and Gabriel where found and excepted into a family. :)

I think that The Giver was a great book to read because they don't have to choose and everything is chosen for them. I think that Releasing is stupid because they kill old people. If our world is like Jonas' world i would hate it because its so bland and everyones the same. If i were chosen receiver I would do like Jonas did because I think that the community should remember the memories that they had and if they did their world might change.I think that Jonas is raising a family and thinking of the community and how it doing. Also he might be thinking of the receiver and the little six who might become the new receiver.

What i feel about this book is that it was a little bit different because there is such things as the sevens and that is kinda weird cause we don't have that and its kinda sad at the same time. it would change my view of the book a lot and it would change forever. I thought release meant like sending them out of the community but it is killing them. I thought it was kinda wrong because it wasn't fair for them to do that to the newborn before it even got a chance to see the world. If our world was just like there's i would probably run away because i don't want to see them releasing the newborns so it would be terrible to live in that kinda situation.

how i feel is the story made me feel weird because it made no sense. it was very unusual . what i think about i the releasing it is sad that they kill the little twins and the old. it is also bad because they lie to the kids and say the go to another community.i would probably do what jonas did and escaped the town because it is pretty boring they have no feelings and no colors. it is just plain. it would be very different to be the receiver because i would have never seen color before. what i think happened after the story ended he joined the family with the christmas tree.

I feel the book The Giver is awesome. My thought about releasing is that it is dumb. I would try to escape from that town.If I was the Receiver I would see all the colors from a long time ago. i would think that Jonas would be the Giver and give the memories to a new Receiver.

I felt that the story was really sad how they lived. I feel that releasing was really sad because you had to give the people a shot. My life would be a lot different because I would not be able to wear hair bows when I was little. I would probably do the same as Jonas and run away. I think jonas had a good memory and a bad memory of his old community.

I would go crazy if we were to live just like them because i could get killed. I would love it if i was the receiver because i could see happy things. I think what happened after the book ended is that the receiver now feels loved.

How i feel about the book the giver is it was a little strange, but good at the same time. I think releasing is a horrible thing you should not have to die because you are to little or old. If i lived in this community I would run away just like Jonas did with out a doubt. If I was chosen to be the receiver it would be a great honor to me and i would've loved to have seen all those memories and most of all colors. What i thought about the ending of the giver was strange but i think he will live in elsewhere forever in happiness.

what i would do if my world was like the world jonas lived in is i guess i wouldn't care because i wouldn't know any different but it would be very boring every day how i would feel if i were given the task of the receiver is i would have done the same as jonas did and had runaway from his community and gone to the rest of the places no one knew about . and how it would effect the views on the world is it would make me realize that life without sameness can be very difficult and sad.what i think happend after the story ended is i think possibly jonas and gabriel were found by people. or i think they both died when they layed on the snowy ground

I feel that the book was very good but sometimes sad at some points. My thoughts on releasing was that it was dumb that you had to die before you got released. What i would do if our world was like Jonas' i would run just like he would. I would feel excited for the task to come and it would change the view that i had of the world. I think that Jonas' family went somewhere else to live or with another family.

I feel that the book the Giver, was very confusing to a lot of people, but I really liked it. Also, in the end, it all made sense. My thoughts on Release are if you think about it, its kind of disgusting because all they are doing is killing people. If our world was like the world Jonas lives in then I would try to change it because I don't think it's fair that there isn't any colors and everything is the same.If I was given the task of the Receiver, I would be very grateful, but it would be very difficult. It would change my views of the world around me because, I could see and know things that other people wouldn't like emotions and pain. After the story ended, I think that Jonas got a new family and was loved by them.

I fell that the book the Giver was a decent book but it was a strange book to. My thoughts on releasing is that that is a very idiotic move on the community. If it was my chose on what to do with the baby I would let it live instead of killing the baby. If i had the life that Jonas had i would have ran away like jonas did in the story. What I would do if i was given the job of the receiver is i would be happy and also freaked out at the sometime, i would change my views of the world around me is i would tell every one about all the colors. What i think what happened after the story is that jonas and gab lived a good life in there new community that they discovered. I also think they grow up and liked there community way better than there old and weird community.

I thought the book the giver was a pretty good book parts of it i didn't really understand when we first started the book but as we got farther into it, it started to make a little more since i thought when they would release the people i thought it was sad and when i first read about it i was really suprised that, that was was realesing meant. if i lived in the world jonas lived in i would be so bored of every thing.if i was reciever i would it would change the world around me because i would acually have memories and see color.After the story ended i think that jonas found his way back or died in the snow.

After the book ended I think that Jonas lived with a new family and felt love.

I feel weird because how could anybody want to be released. Also I would hate to live the same way Jonas does and i would probly do the same thing Jonas did but i would like to be a receiver but i do not think it would change the view around me. I think Jonas went on to have a better life then he did after the end of the story.

I think the book started off weird then slowly came together as it went on. It also got better as it went on.I felt that the book was meaningful. I liked the book but it was kind of weird. If i was the giver would be proud of jonas. After the book ended i think jonas was loved.

I feel that the book was sad. I didn't like how they killed the newborn baby. I don't think that it is write you can just putt the child in different clothing than the other twin would feel really bad. I wouldn't even be alive because I am a twin,and I weighed less than my brother. I wouldn't like it because I wouldn't like keeping the memories of the babies being killed. I would not want to live in my world because we kill little cute newborn babies. He would try to get the food that was in the house.

What i felt about the book was that it was a little sad when the guy killed the newborn child. My thoughts about releasing is that it is a little weird to keep track of all of the memories. If my world was like Jonas world, then i would move to a different place. If I was given a task of a receiver, then i wouldn't like it because I would have to keep all of the memories. I would run away like Jonas did and let no one find where i am. It would really change the view of the world around me because it would be a sad world. What I think would happen next is that someone will find Jonas and take him home.

I think the book The Giver was sad and kind of depressing. I also think the releasing is horrible. I cannot believe they kill them to release them. What I would do if our world was anything like Jonas' I would freak out if our world was anything like theirs. How I would feel if I was the receiver is honor. I would love having all the memories of the past, but it would be a lot of work. After the story ended I think that Jonas would soon become the giver and the little six, Katharine, will become the next receiver.

How I feel about The Giver is that the world they lived in was to perfect. I think their shouldn't be so many rules because some people learn from mistakes. I also think that everyone should color and have feelings. My thoughts about releasing are sad. In the begging of the book I thought releasing was when they could go to some other community or something. But it is still sad and terrifying to be released. What I would do if I lived in a world like Jonas' is try to follow the rules but I don't think I could follow all the rules. Also I would wonder about what it is like outside our community. I would feel excited and sad if I was given the job as a Receiver. Also it would change my view of the world by knowing that there is more then just black and white. There are colors, hurt, happiness, love, and so many others. I think what happened after the story is that Jonas took care of Gabriel and they maybe got adopted by a family. That is what I thought of The Giver.

How i feel on the book the Giver is thats its kinda weird.My thought about releasing is that its horrible, wrong thing to do. They shouldn't do that. What would i do if our world was like jonas, i would not like how we lived, i would hate living in a community as bad as theirs with releasing and not knowing colors. How i would feel if i were given the tasks of the receiver, i would feel separated and apart from all the others, i would miss my friends and family , i would change the views of others by most likely private schooling them on what i have learned from the Giver. What i think happened is Jonas and Gabe finds a place to live with a new family, i also think they will have a nice dinner, they will bathe, and they would be loved.

How I feel about the Giver is it was a strange book, things were different there but the people really cared for each other. How I feel about releasing is it was wrong for them to do that but they did not know what they were doing, they did not know love or compation. What I would do if I lived in the place that Jonas did is I would try to change the way that things worked.

I feel good about the book "The Giver" because Jonus and Gabe got away. i don't like the thought of releasing because killing people is not a good thing. I'd go on with my life because because I wouldn't know about everything else. I wouldn't like being the receiver, I would respect the world more because I would know more about it. I think Jonus and Gabe got a new loving family and lived happily ever after.

How I feel about releasing is I think its wrong because they are taking life from people. What I would do if Iived in the place that jonas did was I would do what jonas did try to let every person to see the memories, so they would see how good there life could be. How I would feel If I were given the task of reciever, is I would feel excited because I can receive memories of happiness. What I thinked happened after the story ended was Jonas and Gabriel found a new home and enjoyed Christmas with them sitting by a warm fireplace.

How i feel about the book The Giver is, okay. It was well written, but not my favorite book it was addicting sort of, but not as well as i thought. I think releasing is bad, scary, and, disturbing. I thought it was really unfair. What i would do if our world was like that is be sad, unthankful for being here, and try to make it better. I would not want anyone to have to live this way. If I were the receiver i would change the world to like ares right now. Except for our economy. I would try my best to make things better. Or over course if everyone like it the way it was, then i would leave it. What I think is going to happen after the story is that Jonas is going to have a wonderful time with his family.

How i feel about The Giver is I liked it , but it was sad in some parts. The part when the twin got released was sad and wrong to do. I did not like what they did when they released people. What i would do if our world was like The Givers is I don't think i could live with out seeing color or not getting to pick the job I want . I could not live if i could not hear music . If every ones birthday was in the same month i would not like it at all . All being the same would be horrible. Knowing what I was going to get for my birthday would take the fun out of being one year older. if i was given the task of Receiver i would be confused . In the middle of it i would run away. How I would change the view of the world is i would share the memories with every one and i would let every one see color and hear music and not all be the same. The same is boring. What i think happened after the story ended is Jonas when to the house that he saw and lived there and, he got to see the Christmas tree, and he got to be there on Christmas . I think he also would get to have Christmas with a family like in the memory he had . He also got to have grandparents.

How I feel about the book The Giver is sad because they killed the little baby boy, it was also happy at the end because Jonas found a new family!! My thoughts about releasing where sad because the little boy had a chance to live and they took his life away. If I was in the world that Jonas lives in I would probably run away to a better place and try to find a new family! I would feel left out and sad. I would change my views around me by giving everyone memories. Jonas and Gabriel had a better and family then before!

I feel very strange about the book Giver, because there world has no color and they can not feel love. I think releasing is wrong because they should not kill someone because they did not do their. It is very wrong. I would feel sad because that we don't feel love of see colors. I would be happy because we would see all the pretty colors an love one another. Jonas lived out or the community and hopefully toke care of Gabrile.

How I feel about the book The Giver is a little overwhelm about being a receiver, releasing someone and having different ages just to receive something different! I didn't not like the releasing because your just giving away others life when they could have had a chance. If I lived in the same world as Jonas I would feel like running away just as well as Jonas did! Jonas and Gabriel had a better time with their new family and felt safer with their new family! :D
