Emotion can determine an individual’s capacity to succeed or fail. In Chapter 7 of Giver and Take, Adam Grant shows that givers who frequently care about others’ feelings tend to lead themselves to failure. Granted, it is good to take into consideration of other people’s feelings, but setting limit on how much one can sympathize with another when giving assistance is necessary. Givers should not be too emotional towards the people they approach because prioritizing other people’s feelings can cause them to make a wrong decision, which could set them back in their goals and aspirations. Givers who usually care about how others think and feel prevent themselves from achieving their own personal goals. For instance, Peter Audet prioritized

Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, offers a thought provoking, well written story, because it changes the perspective of anyone who dares to read it to. Lowry places her novel, at some point in the future when mankind has gone away with changes and choices in life. She forces readers appreciate, or at least re-think the world they live in today. Her novel presents a fully human created environment where people have successfully blocked out conflict, grief, and individuality. Each person follows the same routine every day. Failure comply with standards, to be different, means death. Jonas, the main character, finds himself trapped in this world.
Jonas finally reached the summit of the hill. Feeling the warmth of happiness to have the feeling of being so close, he continued on strong and excited again. His family unit, friends, and Giver came to mind.

Jonas was suddenly filled with a new strength as he picked up Gabriel and trudged through the deep snow. He walked on towards the music that seemed to him to be the most beautiful thing in the world.
The poem, "Dulce Et Decorum Est", and chapter 15 of "The Giver" develops many underlying themes and imagery. A theme developed through the two writings is related to lightning bolts. Also, the imagery used in the two writings is very harsh-seeming to develop the theme.
Jonas clutched Gabriel closer to his chest as they rode the sled down the snow covered hill. Snow and rain pounded Jonas' back, while the winds around them threatened to throw them off. The hill seemed to become steeper and the sled picked up speed. As Jonas dared to open his eyes he could see that the lights were becoming brighter, and heard the soft sounds of singing becoming louder. But as the sled got closer, the wind became stronger, and the snow and rain came down harder. Jonas had to use all of his strength to keep the two of them on the sled. He was so close, he could feel the Elsewhere. Jonas' arms ached, but he could not give up now, he had come so far and is he was so close to reaching Elsewhere. But when one incredibly strong gust
Chapter 14 starts with Jonas back on the sled sliding uncontrollably down a hill. Before he know what to do he crashed a experienced pain like never before,his leg was twisted and his bone bone was visible. This was the first time Jonas had experienced real pain. This started Jonas introduction to pain. Jonas asked why they had to hold the memories.
Jonas was coming in for his first meeting with the Receiver of Memory. He was nervous at first, but then went inside of the first door. The secretary let Jonas in. Jonas was surprised by the locks on the door, but when the secretary explained it was to help keep the old Receiver of Memory concentrated, he felt relaxed.
In The Giver, by Lois Lowry, Chapters seventeen through eighteen show that Jonas realizes that he now experiences a new depth of feelings such as curiosity and pain. In chapter seventeen, Jonas refuses to participate in a game with Fiona, Asher and the younger children because he recognized it as a war game. He tried to explain to his friends that the game was mocking a horrible reality, but they are only annoyed with Jonas. As a result, Jonas left his friends and trudged home thinking about the memories that the game brought back to him and he also realized that his friends and the children would never be able to understand his feelings of love, sadness, and hatred. For example, “ You ruined it, Asher said in an irritated voice ” ( Lowry 168).
How many freedoms would you be able to give up for a “perfect” society? In the book “The Giver”, describes a society where people are given an assignment at age 12. The main character, Jonas was appointed the Receiver and follows a wise old man with the name of “The Giver”. Over time he receives the good and bad memories of the past and soon realizes what his communities deepest darkest secrets. So where would I think the line between public safety and personal freedom should be drawn? I feel if that should be up to the individual and that people should be aware of what is the truth and not be hidden by anything. Being hidden by color/diversity/red, having no love as well as no hate, and no personal freedoms? Is that fair?
