2. Jonas’s Adversity
Jonas’s adversity was facing something
that he never would of thought that
happened. That was seeing things in
different ways nobody else could see.

3. The Perseverance of Jonas
Jonas persevered through it by becoming
better at it each day. Also practiced with
the giver and he was starting to know what
to do.

4. Gabriel’s Adversity
Gabriel is one of the new children. His
problem is that he has trouble sleeping.
But he gets over it with memories.

5. The Perseverance of Gabriel
Gabriel persevered his problem with
Jonas’s help by helping him share his
memories and that’s how Jonas puts him
to sleep.And being very close to him when
the family cares for him

6. The Adversity of the Giver
the adversity of the Giver is facing the fact
that they are going to release new children
when they are born.

7. The Perseverance of
the Giver
The Giver persevered this because Jonas
explained it to him why they let the new
children go home and he excepted that.

8. The Reflections
I reflect on these adversities because I
might have had to go through them or I
already did go though them. The lesson is
that you have to face all the problems that
get in your way no matter what the
situation might be.
