~ Chapter 17, 18, 19 ~

******SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
Do not read this post of chapters 17, 18, 19 if you do not want to spoil the ending!!!!******

In these chapters, it is an unscheduled holiday so a bunch of Jonas' friends thought it would be fun to play a game with make believe guns. Jonas does not think it is a good idea due to his last painful memory of war. When Jonas goes home his father is talking about how there were twins are born at the nurturing center the next day and when twins are born, the nurturing center needs to release the smaller of the two.

The next day, Jonas asks the Giver about releases and what they are. The Giver obviously does not want to talk about it, but Jonas begs him to tell him what happens. So the Giver gets a tape from this mornings release of the twins. It is very hard for Jonas to watch because the release is so disturbing. In this book release means kill. Jonas could not believe what he was watching. His own father, killing a newchild, without giving it a second chance. Jonas did not think he was ever going to look at his father the same way again.
