The Giver Theme
Jonas is a dynamic character because he grows throughout the story with different emotions and reactions to things the community won't understand, along the way building new relationships.“I don't want Pilot, anyway. If I get Pilot i’ll put in an appeal.” (41) this shows that he does indeed care for his job but is very picky about what he wants even though he can't pick his assignment. This also shows how he only cares about himself. In the beginning of ‘The Giver’ Jonas was very selfish and did not care for others because, the community is made not to take of others and to be independent.Close to the end Jonas is very offensive towards Asher when he was playing war, knowing what happens during war in a type of respect of others he changed the way he would have been if he wasn't the receiver. “But it’s a cruel game.” (134) this shows how Jonas feels about war after the flashback which now he recognizes it at cruel and thinks it's offensive to others. At the end he starts to be more observant about what others thought was ok and tries to correct them because has empathy towards others. Why? Because now that he has the memories he starts to feel pain sadness and anger and corrects right from wrong.
