4B&nbsp;Setting+&amp;+Plot

__Chapter 1__

__Setting:__ //It's almost December, and it seems to be set off into the past or (far) into the future.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas is slightly nervous as December approaches and the Ceremony of Twelve begins to arrive.//

__Reflection:__ //I think that the setting was good for this part of the chapter.//

__Chapter 2

Setting:__ //Still almost December, and he is at his home.//

__Plot:__ //After a discussion with his parents, Jonas's mind is put at some ease, although he is still a little apprehensive about the ceremony and wonders how different things will be when he becomes a Twelve.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that both the plot and setting were flowing together nicely in this chapter.//

__Chapter 3

Setting:__ //They are still at Jonas's house, with the addition of Gabriel.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas's father brought Gabriel home to give him some extra care, and Jonas's has a small flashback and recalls a strange incident where the apple he was throwing with Asher looked different for a slight moment.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that adding Gabe to the picture was a good thing for the plot, though I think it would have been a bit more effective if the setting was changed up a little.//

__Chapter 4

Setting:__ //House of the Old.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas went to the House of the Old to volunteer with Asher and Fiona, though he still can't get his mind off the Ceremony of Twelve. He helped bathe Larissa and listened as she told him about the Ceremony of Release they had for Roberto.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that this was a good chapter for both the plot and setting because it shows more to the way of their community.//

__Chapter 5

Setting:__ //Jonas's house.//

__Plot:__ //During the Dream Telling, Jonas tells about a dream he had and finds out that the feelings he had felt during it were his first Stirrings, and he has to take a pill every morning to control them.//

__Reflection:__ //The setting for this chapter was really perfect for the plot, and I think that it was a good chapter for both the plot and setting.//

__Chapter 6:

Setting:__ //Jonas's house; Auditorium//

__Plot:__ //The ceremonies have finally started and Lily just became an Eight and received a jacket with smaller buttons and pockets, and Jonas will become a twelve the next day.//

__Reflection:__ //The plot in this chapter was really good and matched well with the setting, not to mention both gave us more incite on how things go in their community.//

__Chapter 7

Setting:__ //Auditorium//

__Plot:__ //The Ceremony of Twelve has finally began, but while all the other Elevens became Twelves and got their assignments, the Chief Elder skipped Jonas.//

__Reflection:__ //I think the plot was very well in this chapter because I didn't expect for her to skip Jonas, so that just took me by a huge surprise.//

__Chapter 8

Setting:__ //Auditorium//

__Plot:__ //Jonas was given the assignment of Receiver of Memory. He felt a little proud to get an assignment so rare, but he is also a bit fearful because of the training he will have to go through.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was good for what they were talking about in this chapter, and that the plot was good because it told what his assignment was and how important it is.//

__Chapter 9

Setting:__ //Jonas's house; Jonas's room//

__Plot:__ //Jonas senses the hesitation when his friends/group mates talk to him that has never been there before, and as he reads what his schedule and what he is supposed to do to be the Receiver of memory he is shocked to learn that a lot of the things might go against how he has lived up to this point.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was okay for this chapter, since they had just gotten their assignments and were eager to see what their training would be, so they wouldn't really have wanted to go somewhere other than home to read their assignments.//

__Chapter 10

Setting:__ //Annex behind the house of the old.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas begins his training and learns that he is assigned to keep the memories of the whole world, not just the community, and he gets ready to receive his first memory: the memory of snow.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that this was an okay setting, since he is seeing where his training will take place and he is starting it for the first time.//

__Chapter 11

Setting:__ //The Annex again.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas receives his first memories, the memories of snow, sunshine, and sunburn. He also learns a bit more about how their community is different from how things were generations before.//

__Reflection:__ //Though the setting was pretty good for this chapter, I thought it would have been a little better maybe if they were in a field or something since he was experiencing sunshine and sunburn.//

__Chapter 12

Setting:__ //Jonas's house; the school; the Annex.//

__Plot:__ //As Jonas goes to another day of his training he learns that the things he has seen that changed for a split moment (like the apple changing when it was thrown in the air) was him seeing the color red.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that this setting was alright, though it might have been better if they left or something to test and see how long he could hold the color.//

__Chapter 13

Setting:__ //The Annex.//

__Plot:__ //As Jonas receives more memories he sees what should be in the community, if only for a small moment,and he is going to receive a painful memory from the Giver.//

__Reflection:__ //I think that the whole "annex" as the setting agian and again starts to get old fast, though I guess it is a good setting.//

__Chapter 14:

Setting:__ //Annex; Jonas's house.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas's training has advanced to where he receives a painful memory every day, along with happy memories after them to try and make up for the painful ones. When he asks his father to have Gabriel sleep in his room, he accidentally transfers a memory to him when he woke up during the night.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that this was an okay setting, though as previously stated, the Annex being the setting again and again starts getting old fast.//

__Chapter 15

Setting:__ //The Annex room; a battle ground.//

__Plot:__ //Jonas came for his training and saw that the Giver was in pain. He asked to help and was transfered the memory that was torturing him; which was a memory on the civil war. It was then when Jonas first experienced warfare.//

__Reflection:__ //Although I don't really agree with the Annex being the setting again and again, it was a good setting in this chapter since the Giver was in pain and most likely could barely move.//

__Chapter 16

Setting:__ //Annex room; Jonas's house.//

__Plot:__ //After the painful memory, Jonas receives many of the kinder and happier ones one especially is a memory of a family celebrating Christmas and experiencing love. Gabe still is sleeping in Jonas's room, and he is still giving him memories, and for the first time ever, he decided to stop taking his pills.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting in this chapter was alright even though it was once again in the Annex for a while.//

__Chapter 17

Setting:__ //Field; Jonas's house//

__Plot:__ //Jonas has not taken the pill for four weeks now, and his emotions have more depth because of it and he can make the colors stay, and he also got upset when the other kids were playing war.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting in this plot was good because it was different from the others and there was really no other place where the kids could play war except outside in a field or a park or something like that.//

__Chapter 18

Setting:__ //Annex//

__Plot:__ //Jonas finally is told how the last Receiver, Rosemary, had failed ten years ago, and is reminded again about how important the Receiver's duty is.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was appropriate in this chapter, because even if the Giver left the Annex for things other than walks, no one is to speak of the last Receiver's name, and no one else would hear him in the Annex.//

__Chapter 19

Setting:__ //Annex//

__Plot:__ //Jonas finally finds out about what happens when someone is released, and was shocked and horrified to find out that they kill those the ones that are to be released.//

__Reflection:__ //I also thought that the setting was appropriate in this chapter because I don't think it would have been good if someone saw Jonas watching the release of the Twin.//

__Chapter 20

Setting:__ //Annex//

__Plot:__ //Jonas got upset when he out about what his father did, and didn't want to go home because of it. While he stayed in the Annex with the Giver they devised a plan to change the way the community kept their memories. After he gives up pleading for the Giver to leave the community and leave with him, he finds out that Rosemary was the Giver's daughter.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was good in this chapter because he wouldn't really have another place to go if he didn't want to go home and it wouldn't have been wise if they talked about their plan where someone else could hear it.//

__Chapter 21

Setting:__ //Elsewhere//

__Plot:__ //Jonas, upon hearing about the soon-be release of Gabe, carries through with his plan earlier than they planned, taking Gabe with him.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was good for this chapter because none of them really know what else is out there, so it wasn't like they could tell us anything specific aside from "Elsewhere".//

__Chapter 22

Setting:__ //Elsewhere//

__Plot:__ //As their journey continues, things get worse and worse as they run out of food and the weather gets worse.//

__Reflection:__ //Again, I thought that the setting in this chapter was good for the plot because they are still on their journey.//

__Chapter 23

Setting:__ //Elsewhere//

__Plot:__ //Just when Jonas thinks he cannot go any further, he remembers where they are at and climbs up the hill to the sled and rides down it, stopping in front of the window of the family that was celebrating Christmas in the memory the Giver gave him.//

__Reflection:__ //I thought that the setting was really great for this chapter, and totally took me by surprise becasue I didn't expect the place for them to wind up at would be the place in his memory.//
