Reading Is An Opening Window To Imagine..

In one of the stories of a distinguished writer, Ray Bradbury, The Veldt, shows how can technology can became human addicted leading them to make different type of decisions. This story is based on a family that lives in the future, they have their own smart house that make everything for them. In this house was a nursery center in which it shows your thoughts, if you wished Aladdin, Aladdin would appear. One day its mother was really worried because she realized that her kids were acting differently and weird. They noticed that they were playing too manny time on Africa, with lions, zebras, wild animals and they always hear some sort of familiar screams in that room. They asked a psychologist to help them, and he told them that they had to turn of the house, and live the real world. Parents did what they were told, they turn of the nursery, the house, but by a rare way the house star working again.  Those familiar screams appeared again. Both parents got in the nursery room and lions apear again and suddenly the lions stop been a simulation, they became more and more real and doors were locked up.

One of the best things about Ray Bradbury is ´that he uses a lot of good imagery, he uses different types of descriptions; the way he describes its stories, the way he makes you feel like you are in the story, how he tells the plot, the characters,  the setting… 

 ´´ There  was  a green, lovely forest, a lovely river, a purple  mountain,

high voices  singing, and  Rima, lovely and mysterious, lurking in the trees

with  colorful flights of butterflies, like animated bouquets,  lingering in

her  long  hair´´

Furthermore Ray Bradbury has a really good characterization system, during the story he makes different types of speeches, thoughts, effects, actions, looks like in this story. 

"Oh, George!"  She looked beyond him, at the nursery door. "Those lions

can't get out of there, can they?”

Here he is making a part of a worried and afraid woman, which she has not confidence in that nursery center.

The Real Side Of Release

After all of their training, Jonas has been looking everything in a different way, his plays were different, now is way of of having fun weren't as before, he is always connecting with the memories that have been give in to him like war. One day they were talking about what was released, and 

Jonas thought that he had never seen a released so he was cruised because his dad did that really frequently.  the giver asked to watch the releasing ceremony that day and they saw how the ``ceremony``was done, Jonas was so confused and disappointed, he didn't expect that the the ceremony of releasing was actually killing someone, he decide to spend the night with the giver because wasn't capable to return home after what he saw, he start thinking how he could change that, his ideas were clear, anybody would understand what he was saying, and how does it feels,so he decides to scape and make all the memories came back. But the Giver tell what would happened if he does scape, every body would we confuse, when Rosemary was released the memories that she holed came back to the community they had trouble with their feelings, understanding. But Jonas has too manny memories inside and if he goes the community would we a chaos, a problem because they don't know anything. 

Jonas felt a ripping sensation inside himself, the felling of terrible pain clawing its way forward to emerge in a cry. (151 Lois Lowry)

This quote came after Jonas saw the ceremony of release from that new born child, after his disappointment and his realizing that he has to do something because everything was wrong, that ripping sensation we have inside when we do something wrong or when we knew that something inset okay … this also involves the frustration from Jonas `cause he is always trying to `make a better place and, always something worse that make him think how he would make a change in his society, how he will make them see beyond.. but anybody could do it just him and The Giver and the next and previous receivers. 

When Jonas felt the ripping sensation inside and then he wanted to cry so badly is because we know when we do something that is wrong, something that you knew that you could do it better, or in another way, I had felt the sam thing a couple of times in my life, when I know I have to do sometime and I do the opposite,and after that, after  while I feel so bad like a time I was at home I was younger and I was responsable from my sisters and I thought that it was easy so I left them alone, after a while I came back to watch them and when I saw them i realize that they make a mess, they hit themselves, i receive my punishment after that I never leave my sisters alone.

The Memories That Change Everything..

I really liked the way this book is developing, since chapter thirteen (13)through chapter sixteen (16) had been occurring different things in which make me think, what would happened if we leaved in a community like Jonas did, also it make me think in the good things this society may have, all of this bad things that make our world as it is, like the hunger, war (battle), animal poaching, discrimination, fights, disagreements, etc. But as always we have to look form the other point of view,in which this kind of society may have, bad things. If we don't have the freedom to choose or to express our ideas everything would we the same, they wouldn't  have likes or dislikes, we wouldn't  agree, or disagree, we wouldn't have that heart bit of taking a decision, a risk. 

As Jonas continued receiving memories from The Giver, Jonas experience different things, now Jonas was able to see all the colors, with in keep them. The Giver thought that is was time to Jonas learn new things. Jonas already knew how pain felt, The Giver thought that is was time to teach things that would make everything different in someones life such as love .  After that everything inside Jonas changed, he wanted to make everybody know what he just learn and experience. One night after this incredible feeling Jonas thought that helping his father with baby Gabe would be better for him. Jonas was playing as usual with him and something rare happened, Jonas transmit a memory to baby Gabriel. Suddenly he knew that baby Gabe would be the next receiver of memories. 

When I read this sequence of events I felt some much joy, cause love is the key of everything, for understanding, por acceptance, for express felling or ideas, I felt like if someone had found a ``something´´that  was missing form a whole. With this events happening I predict that Jonas with this new knowledge would like to change everything that sound him, as his friends, family, community, he would like to make things with justice, like the freedom to express their selfs, to had the liberty to choose and some much things that would make his community happier.
