The most challenging part of the giver is the release part, and about how most of the people have the same eye color and only a few have pale eyes?
Please tell anything you know about the eye color thing please, anything you know, PRETTY PLEASE WITH A SCOOP OF ICE CREAM AND A CHERRY ON TOP.
I think the most confusing part for me would have to be the apple part because I have read the book before and I don’t remember a lot about it. The main reason this was confusing was it didn’t really make since why that was happening. Another part that was confusing, was when they were talking about the jet flew over the community. That part was confusing because it was at the beginning of the book and I didn’t know a whole at about the book at that part.
The most challenging thing in the giver is that they need to give more info about that chapter or book. It’s like what Bryan said its like a scoop of ice cream with a cherry on top. I really like ice cream too. Than there is only a confusion in book is that they need to put cooler words in it to, I know that the book is very old in awe but still.
The most confusing part about the Giver is the way they say things. It's the difference in the way they say things in their community. We as a class aren't used to that older language and weird talk that they use in that book. It's kind of hard to get used too. Like the words mean something different in the book than we think they actually are.
the most confusing part of the giver is why is it so important that people don't take home food its just to snack on its not like he stole a truck full of food and drove it home he just took home one apple.
Yeah, I agree with Derek. I really don't get that, why its so bad just to take one apple.
I also still don't get the Nurtures thing, or what they do. Like literally I've never heard or saw that word in my entire life. It was just sort of out of the blue thing.
Another part i don't get is like at the beginning when the plane fly's over, like the announcer is like drop your bikes and get to the closest shelter. Its just a plane, chill.
The most confusing part so far in the giver is what happens to the people when they are released and just the way the community works like you are assigned a spouse and 1 male child and 1 female child and you don’t even get to pick their names. Also just the way they pick jobs, and the apple thing I think that what is going on with the apple is that there is some kind of invisible border there that scans everything before it enters a certain part of the community and that is why it only changed there.
The most challenging part about the giver is like Bryan said the released part.
Where do they go and what happens to them do they start a new world or what I don’t get it.
And also the numbers like the elevens and what they do when they are that age and why they
Have to do that its different. Another thing that’s confusing is why cant they take food from a
Tree its just food it wont hurt any body it doesn’t sound like they are running low. a lot of this book
Is confusing to me but hopefully I will get it. ……..Bryan to answer your question the hole eyes thing
Is that every one in the community have dark eyes and Jonas and gabe don’t have dark eyes like
The rest of the community they have pale eyes so they are different then all the others. So that’s
What the whole eyes thing is about.
i think this is a pretty interesting and confusing its funny reading what all the other people put they all comment about the apple so its a pretty different book =p
What I think is confusing in The Giver is like what emily said about the apple. It makes you wonder what Jonas meant when he said it changed. But I think the part with the jet flying over the community being scary to them is because they have only seen cargo jets. So that is pretty much what I think is confusing (so far).
The most confusing part of the Giver for me would have to be when they were tossing the apple back and forth. I think it's impossible for an apple to change in mid-air. I think it's rediculous that he thinks that. Maybe his eyes are just playing tricks on him. You never know. Maybe the author is foreshadowing or giving hints about something that is going to happen.
the most confusing part of the giver is the apple part because i don't know how the apple changed in mid air. i don't understand why they make such a big deal of him takeing the apple. the people in that community are very strict.
The most challenging part of The Giver for me would have to be the babies and birth mother part. I don't get where the babies come from. Also, what's the reason for the nurturers? Why can't the birth mother take care of the child?
The most challenging part of the Giver is the part whare Jonas' apple changes. I don't understand what happened to the apple and I wish that the book would explain more about how the apple changed and less about him breaking the rule.
I think that the most challenging part of the the giver so far is getting used to their dialect. when they say "released" they are talking about getting kicked out, I think. Also when they refer to a group of children, the same age,they say their age, so for example if they were talking about a group of 9 year olds then they would refer to them as 9s.it gets kind of confusing with out any explanation for it.
I think the most challanging part of the giver is releasing the people. And how the mewborns are born. Also why cant they take food home from the recreation center or whatever it is called. And how come the plane fling over the city was such a big deal.
I didn't understand how the apple started changing colors when asher and jonas were throwing catch and how he dicided to bring it home.I just thoght that was a little confusing.
The most challenging part of the giver so far is how the women have babies. I dont really understand how they do it because all its talked about so far is the women WHO have the babies but dont really talk about how the babies even get in there. if anyone knows anything about this please give me more info.
The most challenging part of the Giver was when the People got released. I don’t understand why some people are happy to get released, and some are sad to get released. I also don’t understand that the bathing area was Jonas’ final job. Why was he doing that? Just volunteering? Please help! I have more questions too.
The most challenging part of the giver so far is i don't get why they have such strict rules because it does'nt make sense!
Also i agree with Jessica why are some people happy to get realeased and others not so happy.
The most confusing part about The Giver so far is like a lot of people said the apple part. It is so confusing because it just doesn't really make much sense to me why the apple only looked different for a spilt second.
Another thing I think is really confusing about this book is that it doesn't really go into much detail. It is kind of like they expect you to already know everything they are saying witch kind of makes sense because it seems like Jonas is the one telling the story.
Also I wonder why they have such strict rules like Cheyenne said. Another thing I don't get is why they would get in so much trouble for just joking around saying that someone is going to get released. We can sit here and say to one of our friends that they are going to get a detention or something for whatever they are doing just messing around. I think those two things are a lot alike.
i think that so far the book has been really challenging. I dont really understand what is going on. can someone explain to me please?
HEY EVERYONE, I think I figured out what happens to someone when they are released. I think you have to leave the community that you were raised or born in, and you have to go to a different community and never see your family/friends/community again. Please let me know if any of you think this is true. And Collin Visser I like ice cream too, but not cherries.
Oh, and one more thing, what are your real names anonymous?
The most confusing part of the Giver is when they have the baby’s and the baby has to have a certain name, and a certain parent. I also think it is confusing when you cant get a bike until your 9.
Another confusing part is when the apple starts doing something weird and Jonas takes it home to try and figure out what is wrong with it.
There are a lot of great questions being asked! I know that you all have a lot of things that you want answers to; be patient, it will all make sense in a few chapters. The apple incident is a little foreshadowing for what's going to come next. Think about this: Jonas talks about only a few people having pale eyes, and then he says something strange is happening to an apple. He also references the apple as being the same nondescript shade as his own tunic. What do you think Jonas and everyone in his community sees? As for the release, you will find out what happens to people when they're released at the same time as Jonas does, that is if you don't figure it out beforehand. Finally, their world is much different from ours. The language that they use means something different to them than it does to us. See if you can figure out those differences. Happy reading!:)
Well, I think that one of the most confusing parts of the Giver is the part about the airplane. I don't get why they get so freaked out when the airplane flies over the community. I mean it's just an airplane. Also I think that another confusing part of the book is the part that they get "released" from the community. That doesn't make since to me.
The thing that is most confusing for me is the part where lilly got a stuffed animal and she did not know what it was.
Also like bryan,not as much though;), I would like to know why having lighter blue eyes is son different and uniqe?
everyone stop saying apple already. we all know that it is confusing!!!!!!!1
cole likes the word like, dosen't he?
The most confusing part of the giver is that it jumps back and forth from one thing to another. Like when he is throwing the apple and then he is at home. The apple part is confusing to. I agree with you Alex and Emily.
I agree with you, Danielle. I don't understand why they jump back and forth. Some things I don't understand at all, but some things I do. For example, the age groups, I get that.
The most challenging part of this book I thought was in the beginning paragraphs because it didn't seem like it was going to be about a jet at first and i got really confused on that. I also got confused on when they were talking about how the families don't get to pick their Childs name and they get it from a list, And the part where they were talking about their jobs and how they got them in their community.
The most challenging part of the book for me so far is at the very beginning they talk about stuff that they haven't even told us the rest of that or explained it. I also think that is confusing about the apple I mean why does it change in the air or at least look like it does. The other thing is I still don't know who the giver is really and why that it is the title of the book. The last thing is I agree with Danielle and Jessica about how they go back and fourth so much in the book. I mean why do they do that?
Well bryan what i know about the eye situation is that the babies eye color is the same as his. I also know that thier eyes are not normal because everyone elses eyes in the community are darker than what thiers our.
The most challenging part in the book 'The Giver' was the apple part because it kind of confused me. To me it was hard to understand because I was focused on the apple changing or whatever it did, so I guess that I will need to read it again. I was also confused on the 'Light Eyes' part, I do not know why only some people in Jonas' community would get light eyes and all of the other people would have dark eyes. Those are the only two things I think are challenging.
I understand what you mean, Caleb. It is kind of hard to understand what they mean but, it is a different type of world.
The most confusing part for me is thae whole first chapter. The first chapter is confusing because you really don't know what's going on. Then when you get more into the book you will understand it more.
Another confusing part for me is the part when they talk about getting released. It don't make any sense why would you release a person if they are "a extra"? I mean like they are one extra person in the household. Like, if you have a third baby it will get released and it's not even grown up.
There are so many confusing parts for me now i get most of them. but these I'm still confused about.
i think the most confusing part is the thing about the elevens and the twelves, the release thing is pretty confusing to because we haven't got far enough in the book to tell whether its good or bad.
Why are their eyes a dark color also? and the old dialogue is pretty cool too, i like to speak that way sometimes but in The Giver, they use old dialogue to much!
I Agree with collin some parts are interesting but some are confusing, The apple thing was kind of confusing but was interesting.
The most challenging part for me in the book would have to be the apple. Why i say this is because i don't see how an apple can change for a split second.
Another part in the book that was challenging would have to be the beginning also. They start the book out weird. That would be "my" opinion to that.
I also don't get anything about the eye color. I'm kinda confused on that part of the book. If anyone could explain that to me it would be nice to know about that part.
Thanks!
well i think that because Jonas has pale eyes he can see what happens to the apple when it changes. not only that they are going to have to wait till Gabe grows up to have him see if he sees what Jonas sees. and the whole thing i might know about the release thing is maybe they get released and go to the GIVER and get instructions on what to do in this new life that they are going into!!!
For me, the very most challenging part of the book is understanding it. I know whats going on, i just don't get some of the things going on, like the apple changing. True, it may just be the light playing with Jonas' eyes, but i have a strange feeling that is not what it is...Speaking of eyes, i'm also having trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of basically no one having "pale eyes" except Jonas and Gabriel. Those are pretty much the only thing i find confusing, well, except birthmothers. I know what a birthmother is, i just want to know why they have a specific job for it, and i know it's weird bringing this up, but does that mean that parents in a 'family unit' are not to allowed to..produce their own children?
Cole, as for your question about the Nurturers, they're just like baby sitters. The birth mother will give birth to a baby, but it's taken away from her and, let's say Jonas' dad, has to take care of that baby until it's old enough to be given to a family unit. Make sense?
I think that the most confusing part about the giver is that they have like 1s 2s 3s instead of the whole grade thing I just don't get it. An other thing I don't get about it is that why do they have to assign you husband and wife and your kids i don't think that is fair.
Do they all look the same there?? I'm not sure. I wish that all the state was kinda the same so one isn't better than another or they can do more things,I think there could be more thing different places but not how they treat other people. That is how i feel about the book and how it is confusing.
For Me Selena Mix The most Confusing Part Is When People Say The Apple Changed Colors no It Was In A Shape Like His Face And That Is The Most Confusing Part To Me
Peace Out
Selena Mix~!
The most challenging part The Giver for me not being able to understand their way of speaking and their living. I don't understand what being "Released" means, and it's just odd the way they speak about ages like the "ones" the "twos" and so on. That's just odd me, anyone else agree?
I think the most confusing part to me whould have to be... the whole entire book. I mean come on the whole " releasing " thing. What is that? Another thing I don't get is... not being able to choose things for yourself. Like your husband/wife, child's name, the amount of childern you have, and your job.
The thing that is most challenging for me about the giver is probably the part about the babies and were they come from and stuff. Well actually everything is pretty weird, like the part about the apple, and the releasing stuff. Oh and to comment on Bryon’s thing, my guess is that maybe the people with pale eyes have like special powers or something. But that’s just a guess. O_o .....guess we just have to wait and find out dont we?
We will discuss the "baby issue" when it comes up in the next couple of chapters. Again, this is all very different from our world. As soon as you're able to wrap your head around the fact that their world and our world are opposites, it will be a lot easier to understand what's happening. Just be patient! Your responses are very impressive! You're all little geniuses! I can't wait to hear some of your in-class comments.
I think the most challenging part of The Giver is that they don't have animals or know about the non-ordinary ones. I was wondering where all the animals are. Another confusing part is the releasing part because I thought I knew what happens but I actually don’t. My thought changed when reading it again. Like Collin said about the apples. They’re just apples! What’s the problem with just taking one apple? It doesn’t look like they can’t feed their people or they’re poor. I think the book will start to make more sense when we read more.
I think the most confusing part of the giver for me is how they talk. I was never really drawn into the book in the first place so in some part that is always an issue. The setting is kind of weird and it throws me off sometimes and will every one stop saying apple we all know that it is confusing and bryan where did you get the idea for ice cream
I think the most challenging part of the giver so far is that there isn't a whole lot of information about what is going on. The reason its challenging for me is because i cant comprehend very well. So if anyone can help me and let me know alittle bit more about what is going on in the next chapters that we read i will be very grateful.
HEY EVERYONE, I think I truly figured out what happens when some is released. I think what happens is....gulp....the person dies. If you’re wandering how I found out, (and I know you probably want us to wait Mrs. Cardenas,) when I read chapter 4, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence, “We celebrated a release this morning, and that always throws the schedule off a little, so things get backed up.” And Jonas is at the House Of Old, so that must mean that is what happens to someone who is released!
i think the most confusing part for me would be the parts when they switch from presant to past. this part was confusing because you think they are talking about the presant still but they aren't and then it just gets confusing.
I think the most confusing part of this book is right at the beginning From going from our laws and our way of life to reading about a life like that. Another confusing part about the book is the releasing of people. This is just a very confusing book.
the most challenging part about the giver the rules about taking snacks from the recreation center
and why it would be so important if you broke that rule.
The most challenging part of the giver was that they say like words that I don't understand its like all confusing. Also that there Nurtures and the releases thing it doesn't make sence to me.
The most confusing part of the giver for me was the words like they really don't make sence we never heard them before and there just plain old and boring. Also like the Nurtures and releases like I don't get that really.
I think the most confusing part about the give would be the way they do thing us as a class have no clue what they are talking about like exaple they realese people and we dont know what that mean and the think light eye color is weird but we dont
I agree with Holly. The most challenging part of The Giver is the part about being released. do they die or are they put into the world like we know it right now? I am also confused about the apple changing part. how can an apple change, and yet not change at the same time?
The most confusing part of The Giver for me was apple changing when it was flyling through the air because Jonas didn't even understand what was happening.
so after reading all the comments i will have to say the overall confusing thing about this book for the seveth graders is... the apple and the eye color part. That is what every one is confused on.
The most confusing part for me was the very beginning. I had trouble comprehending what was going on. Some of the words we use everyday are used differently in the book. For example; when they say they were "relesed" they mean something completely different.
Bryan- When they are talking about the eye color this is what they mean, Jonas looks at everyone elses eyes and they are dark, but his sister says that his are lighter then everyone elses. So when Jonas looks at the baby he sees what his eyes look like.
The most challenging part of the giver for me was the first page when .the jet flew over and the loud speaker came on and told everyone to get inside. Just becasue the book just started and i knew nothing about the book
i think the most confusing part for me was the apple part because i read it a couple times and i still don't understand that at all. another one was when the jet went over the community and they went to shelter i didn't understand that part that much either.
The most chalinging part of of the giver is that it keep saying the sarimony of 12 and I dont no when when the sary money of 12 happend
The most challenging part of the Giver is the release parts, like were do people go when the get released? Why do people get released, is it because that look abnormal? Is it a good thing to get released?
The most challenging part of the giver would be the way they run there life. It is really weird, and they cant even take food home! I dont get that, you should be able to take food and save it for later!
The most challenging part of the giver is the celibrtion of 12's because it dosent make any sence. Probly because they are so different then us.
Now that I have read 3 chapters of the book I think the most challenging part is the different things the community does. Like the Ceremony of 12 and the Birthmothers and their the only ones that have babies. Also family units and that babies don't have a name until 1. Also the apple part is kinda weird.
the most challenging thing about the giver is the part where the apple in mid air jonas thinks changes and i dont really understand that but i know a lot of people do
The most challenging part of the giver for me is i dont really understand the book like what does it mean to be release and why are there sevens and eights why can't you just say your seven years old
The most confusing part of the giver was the first part of the book because I could not follow it. Well when I was talking in my group it help me to understand it better. Then when I read more of it I under studded it more.
The most challenging thing in the giver is that they need to give more info about that chapter or book. And how like has the same eye color brown what about the rest of the colors like blue? also I dont get why they have jobs like birth mothers why cant people have their own child? I gues I think the whole book is confusing

And how like has the same eye color brown what about the rest of the colors like blue? also I dont get why they have jobs like birth mothers why cant people have their own child? I gues I think the whole book is confusing
I agree with Lucas and what he says about their dialect, that's the most challenging part of the giver, it's really strange. And just out of the blue it's like the place has a really big secret nobody knows, because the people have no major emotions, just odd ones normal people don't normally have.
The most challenging for me about the book is that they call the kids nines or tens. I think that it’s really sad that they do this because they say how old they are and what grade there in. I know that if I had to say how old I was I would go mad I tell you MAD!!!!!!!! P.S. I think we all know that the apple part is really confusing.
the most confusing part of The Giver is the part where they talk about the babies. I mean why cant the woman get pregnet and why do the birth mothers who have the babies take care of them their selves? How could someone just give up there child to some stranger they dont even know? also not only that in this book they dont give enough information about the community they live in or the people who live in the community. with out detials about the people in The Giver it makes it hard to understand and hard to know the person who your talking about. But The Giver is also some what a good book because the community is way to controlled and the stuff they make up is weird and kind funny at the same time. :)
i think the most challenging part of the giver so far is probobly the way everyone is exsacly the same, and u have 2 follow rules so exact it makes me wonder how they do it. Also, i think the word released confuses me a bit. i wonder 2 myself, "self, what does THAT mean???":)
also, i know this is kinda random, but frankie and i r going 2 have a youtube show soon, and ill keep u guys posted. coming soon, dont miss it its hilarious!!!!!!
I think the most challenging part about the giver is the way they get released, If they get three strikes they gat released but we just go to jail and what happens when they get released??
The most confusing part of The Giver for me would have to be the apple part I don’t get how it could change when it moving but not when its still. I am really confused on this book it’s hard for me to get into it I don’t really get any of it. It’s very confusing. I think I would have to read it over and over again. It confuses me a lot.
I think that the most challenging part is that the part when they release the people from the community and that is what I think is the hardest part to get over.
I think the most challenging part of the giver is the release part because i don't get where they go after they are released.
I want to know about the the baby more. I am dieing to know how gets the baby.The giver sounds strange just a little bite rightnow. Jonas and the new baby have the same eye color so they have the sme mom.
The most challenging part of the Giver is the apple part. I don't really get it much, I don't understand what it's for and what he wanted it for. I also didn't get why there were only three kids that had the light eye color, and why it was so amusing to them.
i think the most confusing part was the releasing part because it said the old went through a door and they looked happy but i don't understand how they would leave through a door.
I am confused about: Why they jump around, the apple, and the releasing part. Someone help please?
The parts that are the most comfussing to me are mostly at the beginning of each chapter i thing that confuses me because sometimes it just starts talking about something that is going on and you dont know yet. Then as you get farther into the chapter it gets better because they explain it more.
I also agree with you Abby. I don't get why some people have the time of their lives when they are released, and some just hate being released.
The most challanging part of the giver was in around the beginning of the book and page 30. Page 30 was hard for me to read bacause it was such a disturbing one! Anywho, The begginging of the book was hard bacause I had to pick up on what the story was about so that made it a little hard. Overall I think it may be a pretty good book. =]
The most challenging part of the Giver is the apple part. How is the appel so different? Is it mutated or somthing? Does it injure people if they eat it? Also the book gets kinda random at some parts. Thats the most challenging part of the Giver.
the most challenging part of the giver is the part were it talks about gabes and jonas has the same eye color because it say a hole lot about it and its really confusing.
and can sombody post a comment about when jonas was playing catch with the apple and how jonas ended up seeing something.
There is more confusing sentences for me like why do they say "elevens" and "sevens" it dont make sense.
The most confusing part of the giver is… well there is a lot of confusing parts about the giver. I just don’t understand that book. Like for instants: The release part, the apple part, how it switches back and forth form one thing to another, and how the moms don’t get to have the children, the birthmothers do and how the city picks the child’s name. I just don’t really get this book so if anyone has any answers to my questions please inform me on it. Thanks!
I think that with the whole apple thing now that it has to do with Jonas eye because they most people in the community have dark eyes and Jonas and Gabe have light eyes.
The most confusing part for me was probly the releasing part i dont really get that.And why theres only a few people with lighter color hair and the pale eyes and thats it.
For me the most challenging part was when Jonas was throwing the apple because he doesn’t know what is changing with it. I can’t really keep up with it. I also don’t get why he isn’t supposed to have it. I don’t think I could live in a city with rules. I wouldn’t agree with the rules!!

The most challenging part of the giver is that they go by how old you are like sevens eights nines (E.C.T.). my favorite part is when you get your child you are assigned and you have no choice because if you a bad person becoming a parent will make you become a better person
The hardest part of the Giver for me is the part about people being released in the communty. Where do they go when they're released? D they go to another community? Did they die? The part about the apple is kind of confusing too. Do any of you guys know what some of this means?
The most confusing part of the Giver is the way they describe things. Like how they call kids by their ages. The sevens, the eights, the twelves. The whole community is different from ours so it is confusing to understand it. Another confusing thing is that almost every age they turn they either recieve something or get something taken away. Why do they do that? Also everyone thinks that the releasing is confusing but hopefully we learn about it in the near future of the book
the most chalenging parts were when they said "drop the bikes" and when she said that one kid hade pale eyes i didnt know what that meant and its so far not an interesting book so its chalenging to focus
The most challenging part of the giver is that their community is so diffrent compared to us. Like what is releasing someone what do they do. They are assighned jobs. When we can go for any job.
The most challenging part of the book so far for me was the apple, eyes, and getting released. I mean if you get released what happens to you? Anyone know?
Now the apple, I think it has something to do with the light but I could be wrong. Jonas’ eyes also could be playing tricks on him.
Last but not least the eyes. Jonas’ eyes and Gabes’ eyes are pretty cool considering he has light eyes just like Jonas does. But why does EVERYONE else have dark eyes? How’s that possible? Aren’t you supposed to be your own person? Well I guess not if you have the same color eyes as everyone else. If anyone know comment and please let me know!
The most confusing part of the giver is when the apple started changing in mid air. Bryan Jonas has pale eyes which is a very rare thing. Very few get pale eyes and Gabriel has pale eyes to which makes Jonas wonder.
i think the book is really ggod and i think how its stupid that you can only have two kids one boy and one girl i mean really what is the chances of that happening.
The most challenging part about the giver to me is what Bryan said, about the releasing part, I don’t get that, does that mean they release someone when they want to kill them??? I also don’t get the part about him taking home an apple, it’s just a apple! And I don’t get it when they use words that are different there then in our world!
Abby, I think that when they are relesed is when they go though the door and then they are killed but who knows because that is different than our 'Realising' because we just die. Just. Die.
I think the most challenging part of the book so far is how they release people. The reason I'm so confused is because I don't know if they mean releasing like killing them, or making them go to a different community, ect. I'm also confused about the apple part. The reason I don't understand that is because how could an apple change in the middle of the air?!?!?
The most challenging part about the book so far for me has been understanding everything in it. it brings up and talks about a lot of weird, and different topics that people in the normal world usually don’t discuss. Like I don’t get why people have to follow all the rules, or what happens if you get released or why you have to be part of the seven or eights group even if one kid in the group is like right before the due date and another is right after the due date, they could be a year apart and yet the same age.
the most challenging part of this book for me is, that im reading this book and were hearing all this confusing stuff and nothing really to back it up. i feel that its gonna be a good book i just want to know more about the laws and more about what released means.
i also want to know what the giver is and what he does and why hes so importrant.i also think that the whole children thing is weird and confusing but then again evertything right now is confusing. im just waitng becuase i have a deep feeling this is going to be a good book!!
the most challenging part of the book sofar is the realsed part. I thought it ment you got realsed from that family. but you get realsed from community. you know how dangress that is. they would die out there because they have to find food.
I think the most cofusing part of the giver is that they dont get to have there own kids there asigned kids. I dont think thats very fair to have kids that arent realy yours.
I had a bunch of spots where it was challenging for me but one of them is.... Why do you get assigned 2 a family unit? I mean i'd want 2 be with my birth mother and brother and father!.... Another thing i'm confussed about is why did the apple change and how? I mean I just really DONT get it at all.... And the last thing is everybody is sayin dat they look different and all but do they all look different or NOT??
I really enjoy reading this book Mrs. Cardenas=P!
i think people have to read it slow.To get the whole story and what it is about.The first part i dident really get.Where they went in side the bilding.
HEY EVERYONE, I think I truly figured out what happens when some is released. I think what happens is....gulp....the person dies. If you’re wandering how I found out, (and I know you probably want us to wait Mrs. Cardenas,) when I read chapter 4, 2nd page of the chapter, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence, “We celebrated a release this morning, and that always throws the schedule off a little, so things get backed up.” And Jonas is at the House Of Old, so that must mean that is what happens to someone who is released! Don’t you get it released, try released from life, so I think I’ve truly got it.
I think that maybe the eye color has something to do with the giver because the book is called the giver and they say a lot about the eye color. who is the giver anyway?
The hardest part of the giver for me was the first chapter.
Keagan I think that is weird to but I'v realized that their community is different than our to. And for everyonethat wonders what happens to people that are realeased i think they are either killed or are let go into a lawless world.
The one very last thing I dont understand is whay call them by how old they are. Like the sevens and sixes I dont get it. ALso why do they get something at the ritual or get it taken away.I also dont understand that at all.
A couple other things that are confusing about this book is the part about the eyes. Now i have a prediction that jonas and the new baby are brothers>
The most challenging part of the Giver is the part that they seen the jet thing fly over their community.Another confusing part is the release thng.Where do they go and what happens to them. I still need to read the book for my questions thing. Oh yeah,I still need to read the chapters you read when I was sick. PEACE!!
The part that was the most challenging in the Giver was where the jet came. I mean where did it come from? it's really, really confusing!
I think the most challenging part of the giver is the released part and the part about the ceremony of 7 and 12’s. And Bryan I am with you I like ice cream but not cherries. But about the releasing part of the giver I don’t know who releases the children if anyone knows please let me know so that the book makes more sense. And if anyone knows what the ceremony of 12’s and 7’s mean then please let me know.

I can help you out on that eye thing Bryan. In the book they said that they only have 2 birth mothers right? So that means that means that they each have defferent color eyes. For example blue and brown. So however many kids they have probobly all have the same color eyes. Then same with the next birth mothers to come
I think the most challenging thing was the first chapter. it was very confucing to me.
The most confusing part of me of the Giver was the very first chapter. It was really hard to understand. There was a a lot of weird stuff happening that i wasn't familiar of. I still don't get what happens when they leave the community and what happens to them. I'm anxious to read on what happened with the apple. It was a really weird part though, i don't get why they just ended it there, not telling us what happened to it.
I think it's just confusing because we aren't used to it by the way we live our lifes.
I think the most chalenging part of The Giver is that it is a little bit hard to under stand it because everything in it is controled and I dont get that.
The most chaqllenging part of the giver is when they talk about there dreams. That is one of the most challenging parts for me, the other challenging part of the book so far is when they talk about the releasing thing. That is the most confusing part for me because it doesn't say what they are getting released for or where they go when they get released.It is just confusing for every class, but i think that they will tell us more about the dreams and how they get released and where they go.
I think the most challenging part of so far for me has been the first chapter becuase at first it didnt make a lot of sense
i think that the most challanging part of the giver is that you get three strikes. Because i would never be able to do evry thing they tell me i cant fallow directions very good and i think i would be released in the first two minutes!
The most challenging part in the book for me was the releasing means in the book.How the new born baby has the same color eyes as jonas.So that means they both have the same mother right some one tell me please i what to now about it. The other confusing part about the book was how the apple changes.
the most challenging part for me is nothing i basically know everything and im not cunfused about anything i understand alot i mean except foor the part where they share their feelngs i that a tridition they do??????????? like how christmas is a tradition for us .....
they have the same eye colors because of there parents
The most confusing part about the giver for me is the part of the apple throwing because it didnt really make sence.
i think that the begining is really hard because it does make no sence. and i dont understand the hard words that are in the begining
