Why do you think love has become obsolete?

Well in this community the government is trying to keep everyone and everything in order so they wouldn’t want you to love someone because it would mess up their aligned community where they decide who you live with, what assignment you get, and basically everything you do.

 

 

 

What do you think love means in the community?

I think love is like a meaning less word to them because they don’t even know what love is so they’ve never felt it before, and Jonas now knows what it is because the giver gave him the memories of love at Christmas. I also think it’s not really a word in their vocabulary because Jonas’s mother said to use precise language so I think they know it as a word know one uses anymore and not really a feeling.
