Chapter 20:
"I will take care of that, sir. I will take care of that, sir, Jonas mimicked in a cruel, sarcastic voice. "I will do whatever you like. sir. I will kill people, sir. Old people;" Small newborn people! I’d be happy to kill them, sir. Thank you for your instructions, sir. How may I help you. He couldn't seem to stop.(I think Jonas was coming to the edge of his mind.)
Feelings ace not part of the Life she's learned."(I felt pity for Fiona and other members of the community.)
"I've started to share them with you," Jonas said, trying to cheer him.(Jonas had realized his mistake and started to be cheerful again.)
"So if you escape, once you are gone -- and, Jonas, you know that you can never return -- "(I think they were planning to let Jonas leave and make the memories come back to all the people.)
"No. I have to stay here," The Giver said firmly.(I think the Giver still loved the community.)
Jonas went home the next morning, cheerfully greeted his parents, and lied easily about what a busy, pleasant night he had had.(Jonas wasn’t miserable anymore and felt much more cheerful because of their plan.)
His patents would be irritated but not alarmed. They would think him inconsiderate and they would plan to chastise him, later.(Because the people in the book didn’t have any feelings, what would they do was totally obvious.)
Their attention would Nm to the overwhelming task of bearing the memories themselves. The Giver would help them.(I think it’s a good for them to have the memory back, Then they would be smarter and stronger.)
"Her name was Rosemary," The Giver said.(This stunned me. And I know the Giver wanted to be released like her daughter.)
