The Giver (9)
At one point in his training, Jonas observes that allowing people to have feelings such as love can be a dangerous way to live. Is love dangerous? Consider both the novel and real life as you formulate your answer.
In real life yes love can be dangerous. For example a person can get ubsessed with a person ounce they overly loved them.But it couldn't get dangerous if the community in The Giver started getting the feeling. They don't know all the details of love. Expecially what love can do to a person ounce they fould someone who dosen't love them back.Scarlet H.
I think love is not a dangourous thing but a great thing. if thay had love they wouldnt have child relese. Also you would be able to have someone who actually cares about youno matter what happens because as long as you have love you have hope.
I agree with Blake S. love isnt a dangerous thing. If they did have love they wouldnt release babies and the olds. And they say that love is a meaningless word and i disagree with that it does have meaning.
love is not a dangerous thing. I think it helps with family. If love is dangerous, then nobody would get along. Love is surely a strong word to be used.Love is what gives you faith to move on.
Lara S. Love can be dangerous and not dangerous. Love can bring people closer togather or further apart. In The Giver Jonus thinks it's dangerous. He is thinking of it in a wrong way. Love is very helpful. Since he is used to being organized and "made" he is not used to the idea of love.
I strongly agree with Lara S. As she said, love can bring people closer together or further apart. Love is very strong, both ways. In "The Giver," love is not an impact to the people in sameness. It's sad how they don't know what love is.
I don't think love is dangerous but alot of people can get hurt when they love someone. Like if someone they cared about left them. I think it's sad that no one except the reciver has feelings. I also thought it was kind of weird that they couldn't choose who they married and that they couldn't love that person or any one else.
I agree with Lara S. because love can hurt people or bring people closer together. Also I agree with her because I think that Jonas thought love was a dangerous thing because he wasn't used to it because of sameness.
Love is a dangerous thing because when your in love you tend to forget about the bads in life. it feels good at the time but if you don't worry about things then you wont accomplish many things in life.
I disagree with Brady A. because love isn't dangerous. The only reason it could be dangerous is if you made it dangerous. We love our family and it isn't dangerous. I don't think Jonas should just say he thinks it's dangerous when he hasn't even had it before.
Kelli U. I think that love can be both dangerous and not dangerous. Love is a feeling that makes us feel happy and important, but if someone in our life who we love hurts us, it makes us feel horrible. I believe that the community should be able to feel love because it is one of the most amazing feelings in the world.
I think that love is not dangerous. It simply brings more happiness into the world. In the community, adults don't let their feelings decide who they marry. Friends are not allowed to hug, which shows love and friendship when one is upset. Babies are released. More love in the community would make everything easier and less uncomfortable.
I think love could be dangerous because if you loved someone and then something happed to them you would be hurt. But love is also not dangerous because then you will always know someone acually cares about you.
I don't think that love is dangerous,for example you love you friends and family.... How's that dangerous? And how would Jonas know if love was dangerous? He never had a love one before.
In my opinion, love is a safe feeling in general. It inspires and teaches people to care for one another. Although love can be hurtful, I wouldn't consider it dangerous. Love is a beautiful thing, with ups and downs, hurt and care. But in the end, it makes it all worth wild.
