Authors note: This is a play prediction piece to show what I thought could happen at the end of the book “The Giver”. The purpose is to end an unfinished story and to get my predicting up
Characters:
Man one
Man two
Woman one
Jonas
Gabriel
The Camera pans up to the hill and stops showing Jonas and Gabriel flying down the snowy hill. Then the camera stops when the sled gets to the bottom of the hill showing the joy and thrill in Jonas eyes. Slowly the camera flies to a city one mile away showing homes and fires. After one minute showing the city the camera flies back to Jonas and shows him and his brother walking.
Jonas: Gabriel were almost there hang in there buddy.
The Camera shows them trudging through the snow with snowing hitting them in the face.
Jonas: Gabriel can you see the light? We’re almost there. Can you imagine being able to have food whenever we want and we never have to take pills.
Finally the camera stops and Jonas falls into the snow. He gets back up and starts to walk down the hill to the city.
Man one: Hey do you see that up on the hill?
Man two: Is that a boy?
Woman one: Someone get blankets.
The camera shows the people of the city running up to the boys and trying to comfort him. Woman one takes Gabriel and runs him into her house.
Woman one: its okay honey you will be okay.
Gabriel starts to cry and in the distance a man runs by carrying Jonas to the hospital.
Man one: Buddy what’s your name.
Jonas: (struggling says) Jonas.
Man one: Okay Jonas you will be okay where did you come from?
Jonas: I really don’t know
Man one whispers to doctor: He’s from the city that can’t see any color.
Doctor: How do you know?
Man one: Because of his cloths and when I was a kid I did the same thing as him.
The camera flies out of the city and flies fast over to the city that Jonas came from. It shows a building on fire and people running around in chaos. Women are screaming and children are crying. A helicopter flies over the city and sees the community in chaos. The helicopter was from the city that Jonas just found. Then the camera flies to an aerial shot of both cities and the screen goes black and the credits come on.
I felt like this could happen because the receiver and the giver keep the community together and without them the city would go into chaos. The reason I stopped in a cliff hanger is because people could talk about and have discussion to see what happens after that. It would be the good and bad side of the earth for the cities.
Jonas at the start of the book always talked about escaping his city. After being the receiver and finding out they had to kill his little brother he finally tried to escape and be the odd one out. I thought he was really brave to escape since no one has ever done it before. Just saying that he wanted to escape showed his bravery.

Quote
Quote
In the story “The Giver” there is a quote from The Giver that is said to Jonas. The Giver says “But I have another place to go. When my work here is finished, I want to be with my daughter.” This quote has many different meanings that could be possible for him to say that.
The first thing I thought when I read this is that he had a daughter that he wanted to go home to. Jonas was a lot like me that he thought that he had a daughter as well. Jonas says to the giver. “I didn’t know you had a daughter, Giver! You told me that you’d had a spouse. But I never knew about your daughter.” Also after I read this I was a little confused because in the start of the book The Giver says that he could not have children because it would be hard for them to see him since he can’t leave the room that he stays in. This is only one of three reasons I think he said the quote.
Right after I thought of the first purpose for him saying this I thought of another logical idea. In the story it then says The Giver smiled, and nodded. For the first time in their long months together, Jonas saw him look truly happy. “Her name was Rosemary,” The Giver Said. When I read this it was really confusing at first because it did not make any sense. This part of the story really test your
knowledge of the book because if you were paying attention you would have realized that Rosemary was the girl who was picked to be The Receiver ten years ago but asked to be released. I then started to realize that The Giver was talking about asking to be released to “see” his daughter in heaven. After he talked about wanting to see Rosemary Jonas changed and he realized that he should run away to let all the people in the city to be able to see color and have emotions. A big question that I had was “Was Rosemary really his daughter?”
The Giver saying that his “daughter” is Rosemary can mean many different things. The first thought that comes to mind is that Rosemary is really his daughter. Then I thought to myself if that would be too obvious so I started thinking. I then thought that he called her is child because they only knew each other for such little time and that he really liked her. Rosemary could have also been the closest thing to The Giver that he has every lost so he calls her his daughter.
The Quote “But I have another place to go. When my work here is finished, I want to be with my daughter.” Has or could have many different meanings. The real meaning is what the reader things it means. It could mean so many different things but in the end it all turns out that The Giver wants to see his “daughter” in heaven.

Speech.
The Giver is set in a futuristic society that is completely politically incorrect. The city is isolated and the people in the city do not think there is anyone else in the world. People cannot choose their jobs, instead, they are given jobs and to make it worse they cannot see any color.
The setting in this story is very important because if it was set in 2012 they would know of a different world and the people in the city would not have to be told what their job was. Everyone in the city would be able to see color and live life better than being color blind.
The setting affects the plot in many ways and the first thing is that if they were in 2012 they would not only see black and white and they would have cars and not have to ride bikes. The people would get along differently if they could talk when they drove. Another thing is that the people in the city would not have to lose their friends by what job they get.
The setting would change the characters because if they did not live in such an isolated city they could communicate with the outside world and would be able to be friends with people outside their community.
The setting is very important in the book “The Giver” and without the setting the way it is the whole book would be changed.
