1 answer

In Chapter 5 of "The Giver," Jonas shares a dream he had with his family during the morning ritual of discussing dreams. He describes a dream about a beautiful, mysterious world where he feels a strong desire for a girl, which he refers to as "the Stirrings." His parents explain that these feelings are normal and expected as kids grow older, but they also remind him that he must take a pill to suppress those feelings in the future. This chapter shows how the community strictly controls emotions and desires to maintain "Sameness," and it marks an important moment in Jonas's journey as he begins to understand his own feelings and the limitations of his society.
