The Colors of the Wind

What a wonder full life:

Jonas, who wanted to believe that his community was fair with everything, started disappointing himself.  And also he started questioning the WHY in all this rules. No love? No animals? No colors? All this led to one thing, there were NO decisions. He started seeing peoples fear to make a difference. A decision against the Committee of the Elders. Even the Elders were afraid... To make decisions against their normal life. 

The Giver started deciding to increase the painful memories within Jonas´ days at work. He gave him the most terrible memories, like WARFARE, HUNGER. But also starts giving him more intense feelings like LOVE. The Giver´s best memory, his favorite, FAMILY, FRIENDS. A warm feeling that came from them. 

He also starts talking to him about why all people don't have this HONOR. Having all the memories, it has to be a hard task, a PAINFUL one. Hard to contain, without telling your fear, without expressing your FEELINGS. 

It’s living a life without yelling to a blue sky, or to the green mountain, and without telling me the colors of the wind.

This is "The Color of the Wind"of the movie Pocahontas by Walt Disney Pictures

In this song the lyrics say:  We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain, we need to paint with all the colors of the wind. 
This phrase can be connected to the book because Jonas has started to see all this colors but until he sees them all, he WONT be able to paint with all the colors of the wind.


"The Giver told him that it would be a very long time before he had the colors to keep.
-- But I want them! Jonas said angrily. It isn't fair that nothing has color!
-- Not fair? The Giver looked at Jonas curiously. Explain what you mean
-- Well.... Jonas had to stop and think it through. If everything is the same, then there aren't any choices! I want to wake up in the morning and decide things! A blue tunic, or a red one? He looked down at himself, at the colorless fabric of his clothing., But its all the same, ALWAYS." 


This quote makes me wonder, What if Jonas finds out how did they erase the memories of the others? If Jonas is so curious about why did the did this, maybe he should ask The Giver to give him that memory. 

If at some point in our life we want to be happier than you are now, maybe you should change something you do every day. Because if not, nothing will change. EVER. Jonas is starting to realize that. Who will give Jonas this clue?
