Answer:

He has achieved his goal and can enjoy his success quietly.

Explanation:

Jerry and his single mother were on a holiday in some foreign country. Being the only child, he sometimes find it constricting of his mother being with him in everything he do or wherever he go. On the beach, he had always wanted to be able to enjoy the water without his mother's ever caring watch. On one occasion, he came upon some local boys swimming underwater for long duration, somewhere a bit further away from the beach where his mother was. From then on, he also started to train to hold his breath underwater and pass through the hole of the big rock through which the boys were able to come to the other side of the big rock. On the final day, he did succeed in achieving his goal but only after almost killing himself, tired and strained, with blood coming out from his nose and a gash in his head. But he achieved his goal and can now enjoy his success quietly, thus agreeing to go back home with his mother at the end of the story.

Jonas and The Giver discuss what would happen if Jonas were to become lost or get into an accident now that he has almost a year
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The Giver tells Jonas this because he is thinking that maybe it would be a good idea for the whole community to have memories again, and that he could help them cope with them.

Explanation:

When The Giver tells Jonas the story of Rosemary, he tells him that when she asked for her release, all the memories she had absorbed for 5 weeks returned directly to the community all at once. This caused great chaos, and with the pain that The Giver felt and the anger, he did not want to help them.

Now, he is deep in his thoughts because if something happened to Jonas, the memories of a whole year would pass directly to the minds of each person in the community. This could be a big problem, but what if The Giver helped them this time?

It's a considerable option, and that's why he tells Jonas that they can talk more about it sometime and that he needs to think about it some more.
