I think that love isn’t used in the community because, their rules are so strict that they want everybody to be the same, and there are different kinds of love. When Jonas came home after his training, he asked his parents if they loved him. HIs mom said that ‘love”  is a very generalized word, so meaningless that it’s become obsolete. his dad suggested to use the word enjoy as in ” do you enjoy me?” or ” do you take pride in my accomplishments?”. I think that his parents don’t “love” him, just because of the community and how the rules are. Love could be obsolete.

I think love is obsolete because this community wants to have sameness as in chapter eleven page 85, “Before sameness”. For example everyone has the same eyes besides Jones, The giver and Gabriel. Also they are only aloud two children one boy and one girl. Love is obsolete because the community has different meanings of love. Love is not the same for everyone because it don’t fit in the community. That is maybe why love is not precise language for this community. This is why the meaning of love it obsolete in this particular for community. This particular community has some words for love but they don’t have the same meaning or even the same meaning. I think love is too powerful of language for this community.

What does love mean in this community?

Love means nothing in the community because it is obsolete.it is not important in the community it has no meaning because it has no fashion that’s why it is obsolete in this community.
