First of all i would miss the fact that I would no longer be able see colour. Imagine not eing able to see the difference from a apple and a orange( other than size and taste ) and also what is you were drawing something and it was only black and white? Second of all i would also miss being diferent, being same is really boring because every day you do the same thing, play with the same people, and eat the same meals. My third thing i would miss most is having people choose my job for me. Even though I have not gotten a job yet i think that having the freedom to choose you future is better than having someone else pick you for a janitor or something like that.
To start, I would definitely miss seeing the world to it's full potential. I'd miss stuff like colour, sunshines, sunrises, sunsets, moon, rain, snow... everything.
Second, I'd miss video games. I mean, I can't live in a video-gameless world. Oh looky here, we have different games. So what? Nothing is better than video games, and no video game is better than RuneScape.
Third, I'd miss difference. See, sameness is cool and all. Well, no it's not. Follow the same leaders, eat the same food, everything about sameness is... boring. I mean, come on, who would want to see everything the same way everyday.
If I were trapped, I would jump off a cliff headfirst because your partially blind, no RuneScape, no video games, no RuneScape, and no difference, and no RuneScape. Yeah... Bye! :D
I would probably miss seeing colours and weather the most. I could never see red, or blue and all my favourite colors. I would miss the ability to make my own decisions second. Like, someone would say i feel like fries today, but what is for lunch, the same thing.
I would miss things like having electronics and teddy bears third. I love electronics, games and entartainment. Also I would really miss losing teddybears at a certain age. I wouldn't want to give up my teddybears until ever.
I would probably miss..... Colour, individuality and everyone I know. But, it's hard to think of only 3! I would also miss MUSIC. I can't believe nobody said that! whenever I hear music, my spine goes all tingly. Music affects our emotions! Colour. Are you kidding me?!?!?! No colour? That would have a giant effect on out mood. No more pink?? Colour is practically everything we see! Not being able to see the beauty of the big bright sun, or the crisp orange leaves, or the purpley sunset, or the calming blue sky. I would hate not having individuality. Imagine, having to say "I'm sorry" even when you're NOT. And saying, "I accept your apology" when you don't WANT TO. Plus, wearing the same CLOTHES?!? Hah! I couldn't live with that.... And having parents that weren't YOUR PARENTS. Like, your mom didn't actually give birth to you. Creepy! *shudders.* and I can't see my family and friends anymore! Most of all, I'd miss my family and friends, uniqueness and COLOUR.Heck, I'd miss everything!....
I’d miss many more than three things so I’ll try to list them all. 1) I’d miss the sadness and crying. Though many would love to leave a life that includes this but how can you have sadness if you do not have happiness. True sorrow only appears when your happiness is ripped from your soul. But after the crying and the pain of the wounds; you truly find your comrades and who will stand by your side to nurse you back to happiness. It is a cycle that can only happen if sadness is present. If we lived lives of only happiness, would it be true happiness? You only know true happiness if you have experienced true sorrow.
2) Next, I’d miss the ants on the ground, the birds in the trees, and the bright shrubbery. Together, with much more, they symbolize the delicate web of life our Mother Earth has weaved for us. So little of us realize how important one little ant is or one small blade of grass. When you kill these delicate but important objects you bring pain to our Mother Earth.
3) I’d miss sneezing and just living with it. The aftershocks of a sneeze feel nice but if I lived in Jonas’ world I would immediately but given medication and would not be able to feel the aftershocks of a sneeze.
5) I’d miss dying naturally. If I am killed, I didn’t die when god, if he exists, wanted me to unless my fate was to die by somebody else’s hand. Dying naturally is a treat not everyone gets to enjoy, not even in our world now.
6) The thing I’d miss the most is love. The love my parents have for me, the love I see when I look at a happy couple, and just the love that hangs in the air wherever I go.
I guess what I’m saying is: I’ll miss everything that Jonas’ can’t enjoy that we have. After spewing all this on I feel lucky to live the way I do and I feel lighter; happier.
If I lived in Jonas'world, I would miss a lot of things, alot more than three plain pionts.
First, I would miss colour. Everyone would.(As I've seen in my classmates' postes)Has anyone here watched t.v in black and white? Your life is really bassicly like that. I would miss chosing which colour clothing I wear to school everyday.It's like you don't even know some things are if you didn't have colour. What you really miss without colour is the ability to choose. How many of you here chose your things partually based on colour? I would say about 90%.
The second thing I would miss is wheather. Remember, there is no seasons, no sun, no rain, no nothing in the sky in Jonas' world. Everyday, I wake up to the nice warm sun in my bedroom but not anymore. You can't see sun, or anything else. Just a big peice of blank. Personally, I hate being too hot or too cold, but reading the giver made me realize that it's ok being too hot or too cold, that is waaay better than having no wheather.
Do they even have electronics in Jonas' world? I mean, t.v, computers, ipods, any of those? If they don't have it, boy, that will really suck. All kids depend on those kinda things for entertainment. It's true that going out and playing is better but we all have to watch t.v sometimes!!!!!!!
As hard as it is to say, I'd really, and I mean really, miss love. No one would care for anyone without love. THERE IS NO LOVE IN THAT WORLD!!!!!!!! You don't even know who your real mother is. You don't really even have a father because you're born with the pills that your mother took to have you.
I'd miss all the memories the giver has. It's true that most of the memories are of bad things but that's what makes our world better than Jonas' world and what makes us whole. I'd miss christmas, halloween, valentine, everything the giver has. We would be so, so... life less without all those things.
I would never, ever go into Jonas' world. Not when I've said that many things that I'd miss...
1) i would miss the fact that i don't have emotions and proper feelings. The fact that i can't truly love someone or that i can't be loved is freaky. 2 no colours. I am so used to colours but with out them my life would be boring. 3 The fact that i don't chose my job ticks me off. Because if i worked my but of at science but got better marks in math and i spent my volunteer hours at the science place i would be ticked off if they made me a math mathematician or something
Okay so the first bad thing is that you can't see colors or hear music. Imagine you taking a shower and then you find two underwear and you don't know which one is yours because you can't see if the one on the left is blue or pink. Secondly your future would be all decided for you.So you have to bear with what you got for your whole life. Like Jonas's dad's job,as a nurturer he can lie... Not only that you have no memories, you won't even be able to know what love is, what weather is, and most importantly what sameness is. As the Giver said" They don't anything without the memories."
Hopefully I'll never end up there in Jonas's world...no offense Jonas.
One: colour. A world without colour would suck. You wouldn't be able to choose between say a blue or red flower and everyone and thing would look the same and blend in. Two:Family. Although you would have a family unit, you would not know your biological mother or father or grandparents. It would be like a part of you is missing, a chunk of you gone. Three: The third thing I would miss is freedom. In Jonas's world, you don't have a choice in anything. Your job is picked your child is picked, your death is picked, it would not be nice to live in a world where you have no say.
if i lived in Jonas' world i would miss.... part 1 FEELINGS the fact that you can not love or be loved is just sad. FREEDOM i would miss seeing snow and rain and definitely sunshine. i do not want to be controlled by other people. i want to be able to ride a bike when i am 6 not 9. STANDING OUT i would miss having my own personality and just being my self.
Obviously, I’d miss a lot of things that we have on Earth but I do have the top three. Well, I’d miss the ability to see colours. C’mon no purple? Everything would just be in black and white. The bright yellow, sunshine; the blue calm and sincere lake; or even the fruits in the busy market would be colourless. That will be a very dull and boring world to live in. Describing would also be a lot harder without colours. Second, I’ll miss freedom. I mean by the one where you are unable to choose your own future. You can’t choose your own job, what you want to be. What if you really want to be a doctor but someone else got the job but they don’t like their job either. Someone would be looked down to if they have the job of being a birth mother. Meanwhile, you can’t go outside by night. You’ll be watched every moment of your life. You can never get your own privacy. And number 1, feelings won’t exist. That includes anger, sorrow, hatred, and beat of all, love. Imagine a world with no love. Think about it, not feeling sorrow for your family when they passes away. That means not feeling love for them either. It is hard to say this but no one will love you (sob). Not even your parents. In fact, they aren’t your REAL parents. And your birth parents won’t even know you and they will be busy with another child who isn’t theirs. Isn’t that just freaky? Actually, you won’t even have a real dad (cries). In conclusion. I really hope that I won’t end up in Jonas’s world. That way, I’d lose everything I love.
ok, first of all, it's scientifically impossible in our generation to create something like Jonas's world. I would miss seeing colour the most. There would be no entertainment in Jonas's world other that chatting, because nature is nothing when it's all grey. Next, there would be no point in enjoying rainbows or paintings. Nor would anyone wanna have flags, because there would be no point if everyone was grey. I would miss the Differantness, and nothing would be unique, so there is no point in trying to stand out(like getting better grades and bragging). I would also miss the feeling of acomplishment, and freedom, because they pick our jobs for us and we have no 'actual' feelings. Finally, i would TOTALLY miss music, because music is the way i calm myself and stuff.
Just one more thing. I would also miss you my fellow peers. You are my entertainment throughout a schoolday. But though I would still have you all if we lived in Jonas' world; you would not be yourselves. I would truly miss you. I would have not though of this on the spot because you all agrivate me but when it comes down to it life would not be the same if you guy weren't you.
I would miss the freedom of doing things my own way. I like choosing the way i spend my life.Even though it can be a bit annoying at times its nice to know that you have a choice.I would miss all the animals that i see everyday here (even the worms)because they help me think of pleasanter thoughts than homework and ... well homework.I would miss feelings the most, both physically and emotionally.being in Jonas's world would mean no sunshine no love no happiness no catching snowflakes on my tongue... these things make life worth living.
I would really love to live in the Giver’s society, for the fact that you’re never starved, and there is no such thing as poverty, but I would still miss things. First: I would miss choice. I would miss being able to be diverse from others, and showing off skills that only I have. Second: doing my work. You see, if I was to be living in the Giver’s society, I wouldn’t have a computer, and I would not be doing this. Third: VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!! *WIPES SELF AWAY FROM THIS MADNESS WITH MAGIC*
The thing i would miss the most is the feeling of love and compassion. If i couldn't feel that around my parents i don't know how i would live.
Another thing would be freedom. I would really miss the feeling of be able to do just about anything i wanted without someone watching me. i would feel nervous and silly if i was being watched all the time.
A third thing would be...oh it's so hard to chose but i guess I'll say nature or environment. I will miss all the familiar trees and parks. Filled with many animals. I never was an animal lover but if those furry little creatures were gone i just wouldn't feel the same. i need the change in weather. It makes me feel different all year round and that is just a part of me that i can't part with.
Honestly, i could find a million things i would miss but i guess 3 will do. I don't Even want to go and live in Jonas's community so why bother listing things that you miss if you don't have to leave them...yet.
You Never know how much you're going to miss somebody or something until they're or it's gone. It's just like when we were droppping my sister off in the States for the first time I thought I was going to be okay once we left but as soon as we got to the elevator I started to cry. I ran back to her new apt. and hugged her. I never cried when we left her again.
I will miss so many things but the top 3 would be my freedom, the ability to see colour and all of my friends and family. If everything was decided for me then it would be weird and imagine little cameras and hidden mics recording everything you say and do. I'm sure pretty much everyone would like to decide for themselves. If there was no colour then everything would be black and white. I would feel like someone is trying to murder me all the time. I don't know why but whenever I watch black and white films I get a little creeped out especailly when I can't predict what's going to happen next. I can't imagine living in a world like the black and white films. Shudder. The third thing that I would miss are my friends and family. It would be a place where no one cares about you. Your parents raise you, you grow up and leave, your parents go to the house of childless adults and then to the house of the old. You'll probably never even see them again. I would be so upset if that actually happened. Same concept with my friends. We grow up together so oblivous and innocent then suddenly we're 12 and we have to go to training everyday for our asgined job. Nothing will be the same and again, we might never see each other again. But here, people can see each other almost whenever they want. IN conclusion, I would really miss our society if it really happened.
If I was in that world, I'd a lot of things, but the top three's for me are obvious. 1) I'd really miss my emotions, a lot more than other things. Maybe other people say they'd miss their colours, or freedom, or personality. But you wouldn't even be ABLE to miss colours, and freedom if you couldn't even feel the wanting or that gap in you. You wouldn't have a personality. And deep inside, emotionally, you wouldn't EVER feel anything. 2) I'd miss being able to gain knowledge and experience. It may sound strange on the outside, cause I don't exactly know how to explain it, but I hope this is at least an okay explanation. In Jonas' world, while you may not want to be some kind of laborer, or to feel pain, anger, and love, you would be missing out on a lot of things. I learn from experiencing these things and I could honestly say, if you could experience every job in the world, you would learn a lot from it. Even if you didn't like the experience itself, you'd gain quite a bit of knowledge. But you only get one job, one childhood. And if someone had already planed your life from beginning to end, how much would you miss out on? 3) Although I guess the numbers represent these things would be on my list, for me it goes the other way around. The last( number one) thing on my list is that I think is just too bad is that things will never change. No one gets a say on if they want a change in the community, and even if they did, it would either go to the committee for study, or you may be punished by release if you try to stand up against the committee. This society sounds like the town we read about in "Lather and Nothing Else", only there's no rebels. No one's willing to take a stand.
One thing I would miss is colour. Without colour, everything would be boring. You wouldn't know what colour you were wearing, and I would be frustrated not knowing what colour everything was after seeing colour for so long. Another thing I would miss is being able to make your own choices. I would hate not being able to do what I think is right and taking a risk. If I lived in Jonas' world, I would not be able to do what I think is right and later be wrong or get in trouble. It might be embaressing but I would deal with it. The third thing I would miss is EMOTIONS. I wouldn't be able to love anything or anyone. Wow. I could never imagine not loving my little brother or my parents or grandparents. Actually, if I lived in Jonas' world I wouldn't even HAVE real grandparents. My parents wouldn't be the ones who gave birth to me and I would never know my real parents. Emotions, to me, are really important because I would have no way to express how I feel. If I loved someone, I would have no way to tell them that. (This was actually really hard to choose only three things I would miss.)
Things I’d miss. First I would miss the world of color around me. I'd miss the bright colour of flowers and my blanket. I'd miss that a lot because most mornings lots of time goes into that. Next I would miss the pure joy of just sitting in sunshine. I love to do that when i'm feeling down. Of course I’d also miss the other weather like the cool rain on your face on a hot day or the fun of playing in snow while being swaddled in parkas. The bubble that they live in is too automatic i want suprise when i go out for recess. Finally but not only I’d miss the pure emotion of this life. To play jokes or to just enjoy the moment. You could never know if any one loved you and that would make me truly depressed. Your family every one, is a completely random match. There are many other things I would miss greatly if I were trapped in Jonas' world. I could never live in a society where there is no individuality or any way to express you. Being caged in by a few scientists genetically modifying everyone is freaky. But think of the feelings of emptiness and post.
One thing I would miss would be that there are no video games. I really like video games and without video games life would be quite boring. Also I use video games to relax and without them i would be really stressed out all the time. Also online video games are a way to connect with someone who is faraway. Also video games are a lot to talk about and are a gret conversation starter without them life would be boring.
The second thing I would miss would be the ability to lie. Not that I lie a lot but sometimes there are things that you just dont want to tell and having to say your thoughts everyday after dinner and breakfast. Then I would have to say a lot of embarrassing stuff or stuff I don't want others to hear. If life was like that then I would make a lot of people including myself upset because I may be thinking something offensive to them.
The Third thing would be that I have no freedom to choose. I would not be able to choose what shirt I would wear which would be broing. I woul not be able to choose what my things would be at all. With out choice the world would become very boring and I would be very sad. I wouldn't be able to choose what I ate (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!) or choose what I do. If I were faced with no choice I might even think about suiciding.
1. Coulor I would miss colour because everything would look boring and dull. I wouldn't be able to see the beauty of things properly. Everyone would look weird and your hair would be grey, who wants that? I'd miss the vibrance of my pink room.
2. Weather I would miss the hot sunshine beamind down on me from the sky. The warmth and the pleasure. I would miss the cool air that comes with rain. The flowing breeze that calms you down. There would be no need for the different ypes of clothing. You would have to where the same type of clothes all year. Yuck!
3. Electronics I wouldn't be able to live without watching T.V. The evening shows are the only reason I don't explode from all the school work. I would miss going on the computer and playing. It's the only way I interact with my friends. Most of all my recreations, electronics are the best.
I would miss my family electronics wildlife because in jonas's society there is no wildlife like birds or any animals except humans. I would not be with my real family just the one I am assigned to a family unit. Also i would not be able to watch tv, and play games because all day i have to do volunteer hours at boring places!
i would miss colour becvause without colour everything would be very dull and everyone would be grey black or white and then your hair would be very dull coloured and you might look really old becauseof the greyness.i would also miss electronics because if there were no electronics i do not know how i would survive without tv and computer. last i would miss having fun because jonus's world has too many rules you cannopt even say you are starving without getting slapped or something. And you have to do volunteer hours and start training for work at a pretty young age.

I’d miss many more than three things so I’ll try to list them all.
1) I’d miss the sadness and crying. Though many would love to leave a life that includes this but how can you have sadness if you do not have happiness. True sorrow only appears when your happiness is ripped from your soul. But after the crying and the pain of the wounds; you truly find your comrades and who will stand by your side to nurse you back to happiness. It is a cycle that can only happen if sadness is present.
If we lived lives of only happiness, would it be true happiness? You only know true happiness if you have experienced true sorrow.
2) Next, I’d miss the ants on the ground, the birds in the trees, and the bright shrubbery. Together, with much more, they symbolize the delicate web of life our Mother Earth has weaved for us. So little of us realize how important one little ant is or one small blade of grass. When you kill these delicate but important objects you bring pain to our Mother Earth.
3) I’d miss sneezing and just living with it. The aftershocks of a sneeze feel nice but if I lived in Jonas’ world I would immediately but given medication and would not be able to feel the aftershocks of a sneeze.
4) I’d miss my laptop because it is my main source of entertainment. That’s basically why I’d miss that.
5) I’d miss dying naturally. If I am killed, I didn’t die when god, if he exists, wanted me to unless my fate was to die by somebody else’s hand. Dying naturally is a treat not everyone gets to enjoy, not even in our world now.
6) The thing I’d miss the most is love. The love my parents have for me, the love I see when I look at a happy couple, and just the love that hangs in the air wherever I go.
I guess what I’m saying is: I’ll miss everything that Jonas’ can’t enjoy that we have. After spewing all this on I feel lucky to live the way I do and I feel lighter; happier.

Personally, I hate being too hot or too cold, but reading the giver made me realize that it's ok being too hot or too cold, that is waaay better than having no wheather.

As hard as it is to say, I'd really, and I mean really, miss love. No one would care for anyone without love. THERE IS NO LOVE IN THAT WORLD!!!!!!!! You don't even know who your real mother is. You don't really even have a father because you're born with the pills that your mother took to have you.
I'd miss all the memories the giver has. It's true that most of the memories are of bad things but that's what makes our world better than Jonas' world and what makes us whole. I'd miss christmas, halloween, valentine, everything the giver has. We would be so, so... life less without all those things.
I would never, ever go into Jonas' world. Not when I've said that many things that I'd miss...
1) i would miss the fact that i don't have emotions and proper feelings. The fact that i can't truly love someone or that i can't be loved is freaky.
2 no colours. I am so used to colours but with out them my life would be boring.
3 The fact that i don't chose my job ticks me off. Because if i worked my but of at science but got better marks in math and i spent my volunteer hours at the science place i would be ticked off if they made me a math mathematician or something
Okay so the first bad thing is that you can't see colors or hear music. Imagine you taking a shower and then you find two underwear and you don't know which one is yours because you can't see if the one on the left is blue or pink.
Secondly your future would be all decided for you.So you have to bear with what you got for your whole life. Like Jonas's dad's job,as a nurturer he can lie...
Not only that you have no memories, you won't even be able to know what love is, what weather is, and most importantly what sameness is. As the Giver said" They don't anything without the memories."
Hopefully I'll never end up there in Jonas's world...no offense Jonas.
Three things i would miss would be :
One: colour. A world without colour would suck. You wouldn't be able to choose between say a blue or red flower and everyone and thing would look the same and blend in.
Two:Family. Although you would have a family unit, you would not know your biological mother or father or grandparents. It would be like a part of you is missing, a chunk of you gone.
Three: The third thing I would miss is freedom. In Jonas's world, you don't have a choice in anything. Your job is picked your child is picked, your death is picked, it would not be nice to live in a world where you have no say.
if i lived in Jonas' world i would miss.... part 1 FEELINGS the fact that you can not love or be loved is just sad.
FREEDOM i would miss seeing snow and rain and definitely sunshine. i do not want to be controlled by other people. i want to be able to ride a bike when i am 6 not 9.
STANDING OUT i would miss having my own personality and just being my self.
Obviously, I’d miss a lot of things that we have on Earth but I do have the top three.
Well, I’d miss the ability to see colours. C’mon no purple? Everything would just be in black and white. The bright yellow, sunshine; the blue calm and sincere lake; or even the fruits in the busy market would be colourless. That will be a very dull and boring world to live in. Describing would also be a lot harder without colours.
Second, I’ll miss freedom. I mean by the one where you are unable to choose your own future. You can’t choose your own job, what you want to be. What if you really want to be a doctor but someone else got the job but they don’t like their job either. Someone would be looked down to if they have the job of being a birth mother. Meanwhile, you can’t go outside by night. You’ll be watched every moment of your life. You can never get your own privacy.
And number 1, feelings won’t exist. That includes anger, sorrow, hatred, and beat of all, love. Imagine a world with no love. Think about it, not feeling sorrow for your family when they passes away. That means not feeling love for them either. It is hard to say this but no one will love you (sob). Not even your parents. In fact, they aren’t your REAL parents. And your birth parents won’t even know you and they will be busy with another child who isn’t theirs. Isn’t that just freaky? Actually, you won’t even have a real dad (cries).
In conclusion. I really hope that I won’t end up in Jonas’s world. That way, I’d lose everything I love.
ok, first of all, it's scientifically impossible in our generation to create something like Jonas's world. I would miss seeing colour the most. There would be no entertainment in Jonas's world other that chatting, because nature is nothing when it's all grey. Next, there would be no point in enjoying rainbows or paintings. Nor would anyone wanna have flags, because there would be no point if everyone was grey. I would miss the Differantness, and nothing would be unique, so there is no point in trying to stand out(like getting better grades and bragging). I would also miss the feeling of acomplishment, and freedom, because they pick our jobs for us and we have no 'actual' feelings. Finally, i would TOTALLY miss music, because music is the way i calm myself and stuff.
Just one more thing.
I would also miss you my fellow peers. You are my entertainment throughout a schoolday. But though I would still have you all if we lived in Jonas' world; you would not be yourselves. I would truly miss you. I would have not though of this on the spot because you all agrivate me but when it comes down to it life would not be the same if you guy weren't you.
I would miss the freedom of doing things my own way. I like choosing the way i spend my life.Even though it can be a bit annoying at times its nice to know that you have a choice.I would miss all the animals that i see everyday here (even the worms)because they help me think of pleasanter thoughts than homework and ... well homework.I would miss feelings the most, both physically and emotionally.being in Jonas's world would mean no sunshine no love no happiness no catching snowflakes on my tongue... these things make life worth living.
I would really love to live in the Giver’s society, for the fact that you’re never starved, and there is no such thing as poverty, but I would still miss things.
First: I would miss choice. I would miss being able to be diverse from others, and showing off skills that only I have.
Second: doing my work. You see, if I was to be living in the Giver’s society, I wouldn’t have a computer, and I would not be doing this.
Third: VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!! *WIPES SELF AWAY FROM THIS MADNESS WITH MAGIC*
Wow...
Only 3 things...
Well lets see..
The thing i would miss the most is the feeling of love and compassion. If i couldn't feel that around my parents i don't know how i would live.
Another thing would be freedom. I would really miss the feeling of be able to do just about anything i wanted without someone watching me. i would feel nervous and silly if i was being watched all the time.
A third thing would be...oh it's so hard to chose but i guess I'll say nature or environment. I will miss all the familiar trees and parks. Filled with many animals. I never was an animal lover but if those furry little creatures were gone i just wouldn't feel the same. i need the change in weather. It makes me feel different all year round and that is just a part of me that i can't part with.
Honestly, i could find a million things i would miss but i guess 3 will do. I don't Even want to go and live in Jonas's community so why bother listing things that you miss if you don't have to leave them...yet.
You Never know how much you're going to miss somebody or something until they're or it's gone.
It's just like when we were droppping my sister off in the States for the first time I thought I was going to be okay once we left but as soon as we got to the elevator I started to cry. I ran back to her new apt. and hugged her. I never cried when we left her again.
I will miss so many things but the top 3 would be my freedom, the ability to see colour and all of my friends and family.
If everything was decided for me then it would be weird and imagine little cameras and hidden mics recording everything you say and do. I'm sure pretty much everyone would like to decide for themselves.
If there was no colour then everything would be black and white. I would feel like someone is trying to murder me all the time. I don't know why but whenever I watch black and white films I get a little creeped out especailly when I can't predict what's going to happen next. I can't imagine living in a world like the black and white films. Shudder.
The third thing that I would miss are my friends and family. It would be a place where no one cares about you. Your parents raise you, you grow up and leave, your parents go to the house of childless adults and then to the house of the old. You'll probably never even see them again. I would be so upset if that actually happened. Same concept with my friends. We grow up together so oblivous and innocent then suddenly we're 12 and we have to go to training everyday for our asgined job. Nothing will be the same and again, we might never see each other again. But here, people can see each other almost whenever they want.
IN conclusion, I would really miss our society if it really happened.
If I was in that world, I'd a lot of things, but the top three's for me are obvious.
1) I'd really miss my emotions, a lot more than other things. Maybe other people say they'd miss their colours, or freedom, or personality. But you wouldn't even be ABLE to miss colours, and freedom if you couldn't even feel the wanting or that gap in you. You wouldn't have a personality. And deep inside, emotionally, you wouldn't EVER feel anything.
2) I'd miss being able to gain knowledge and experience. It may sound strange on the outside, cause I don't exactly know how to explain it, but I hope this is at least an okay explanation. In Jonas' world, while you may not want to be some kind of laborer, or to feel pain, anger, and love, you would be missing out on a lot of things. I learn from experiencing these things and I could honestly say, if you could experience every job in the world, you would learn a lot from it. Even if you didn't like the experience itself, you'd gain quite a bit of knowledge. But you only get one job, one childhood. And if someone had already planed your life from beginning to end, how much would you miss out on?
3) Although I guess the numbers represent these things would be on my list, for me it goes the other way around. The last( number one) thing on my list is that I think is just too bad is that things will never change. No one gets a say on if they want a change in the community, and even if they did, it would either go to the committee for study, or you may be punished by release if you try to stand up against the committee. This society sounds like the town we read about in "Lather and Nothing Else", only there's no rebels. No one's willing to take a stand.
One thing I would miss is colour. Without colour, everything would be boring. You wouldn't know what colour you were wearing, and I would be frustrated not knowing what colour everything was after seeing colour for so long. Another thing I would miss is being able to make your own choices. I would hate not being able to do what I think is right and taking a risk. If I lived in Jonas' world, I would not be able to do what I think is right and later be wrong or get in trouble. It might be embaressing but I would deal with it. The third thing I would miss is EMOTIONS. I wouldn't be able to love anything or anyone. Wow. I could never imagine not loving my little brother or my parents or grandparents. Actually, if I lived in Jonas' world I wouldn't even HAVE real grandparents. My parents wouldn't be the ones who gave birth to me and I would never know my real parents. Emotions, to me, are really important because I would have no way to express how I feel. If I loved someone, I would have no way to tell them that. (This was actually really hard to choose only three things I would miss.)
Things I’d miss.
First I would miss the world of color around me. I'd miss the bright colour of flowers and my blanket. I'd miss that a lot because most mornings lots of time goes into that.
Next I would miss the pure joy of just sitting in sunshine. I love to do that when i'm feeling down. Of course I’d also miss the other weather like the cool rain on your face on a hot day or the fun of playing in snow while being swaddled in parkas. The bubble that they live in is too automatic i want suprise when i go out for recess.
Finally but not only I’d miss the pure emotion of this life. To play jokes or to just enjoy the moment. You could never know if any one loved you and that would make me truly depressed. Your family every one, is a completely random match.
There are many other things I would miss greatly if I were trapped in Jonas' world. I could never live in a society where there is no individuality or any way to express you. Being caged in by a few scientists genetically modifying everyone is freaky. But think of the feelings of emptiness and post.
One thing I would miss would be that there are no video games. I really like video games and without video games life would be quite boring. Also I use video games to relax and without them i would be really stressed out all the time. Also online video games are a way to connect with someone who is faraway. Also video games are a lot to talk about and are a gret conversation starter without them life would be boring.
The second thing I would miss would be the ability to lie. Not that I lie a lot but sometimes there are things that you just dont want to tell and having to say your thoughts everyday after dinner and breakfast. Then I would have to say a lot of embarrassing stuff or stuff I don't want others to hear. If life was like that then I would make a lot of people including myself upset because I may be thinking something offensive to them.
The Third thing would be that I have no freedom to choose. I would not be able to choose what shirt I would wear which would be broing. I woul not be able to choose what my things would be at all. With out choice the world would become very boring and I would be very sad. I wouldn't be able to choose what I ate (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!) or choose what I do. If I were faced with no choice I might even think about suiciding.
1. Coulor
I would miss colour because everything would look boring and dull. I wouldn't be able to see the beauty of things properly. Everyone would look weird and your hair would be grey, who wants that? I'd miss the vibrance of my pink room.
2. Weather
I would miss the hot sunshine beamind down on me from the sky. The warmth and the pleasure. I would miss the cool air that comes with rain. The flowing breeze that calms you down. There would be no need for the different ypes of clothing. You would have to where the same type of clothes all year. Yuck!
3. Electronics
I wouldn't be able to live without watching T.V. The evening shows are the only reason I don't explode from all the school work. I would miss going on the computer and playing. It's the only way I interact with my friends. Most of all my recreations, electronics are the best.
I would miss
my family
electronics
wildlife
because in jonas's society there is no wildlife like birds or any animals except humans. I would not be with my real family just the one I am assigned to a family unit. Also i would not be able to watch tv, and play games because all day i have to do volunteer hours at boring places!
i would miss colour becvause without colour everything would be very dull and everyone would be grey black or white and then your hair would be very dull coloured and you might look really old becauseof the greyness.i would also miss electronics because if there were no electronics i do not know how i would survive without tv and computer.
last i would miss having fun because jonus's world has too many rules you cannopt even say you are starving without getting slapped or something. And you have to do volunteer hours and start training for work at a pretty young age.
