Pills of the Giver

In class today we did a fishbole about the Giver so far, mainly on the pills Jonas takes. I think Jonas needs the pills to stop wanting to get married and have children, I think that is for everyone. Because the government gives you a child from the birthmother and you can't have your own, the government stops you from wishing you could have the certain feelings that you have when you have kids. I think Jonas' dream is kind of similar to adolesence because he had the feelings that you get when you are in puberty years. I think they have to share dreams and feelings to see if anything is different to what it is supposed to be, so that the other people there can alert the government about it.
