2. Character one {Jonas}
How It All Goes Down
Meet Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy who lives in a rigidly controlled
society some time in the future. In his "community," there is no
suffering, hunger, war, and, as you will soon see, no color, sex,
music, or love. Everything is controlled by "the Elders," right down to
who you will marry, who you receive as children, and what you will
be "assigned" as a job. Individual identity has gone the way of
cassette tapes, and everyone is essentially just like everyone else. It
seems that no one has really left the area, except to visit other
neighboring communities. To get "released" is a big deal. It only
happens to sick infants or really old people, or to people who break
the rules.
3. Character one {Jonas}
Weeks later, Jonas is still biking away from the
community with Gabriel. They're basically starving to
death. Jonas keeps trying to transmit memories to the
little tyke, memories of sunshine and, you know, not
starvation, in order to keep them going. Finally, it starts
snowing and Jonas gets to the base of a familiar-looking
hill. He ditches the bike and walks up with Gabriel, still
trying to cling on to pleasant memories. When he gets to
the top, the sled (from the first memory he received from
the Giver) is waiting for him. He climbs into it and pushes
off down the hill, fully convinced that at the bottom is
Elsewhere, and a whole group of people waiting to greet
them.

Miss Ruth Elizabeth Becker, 12, boarded the Titanic at
Southampton. She was travelling with her mother Nellie, brother
Richard and sister Marion from India to Benton Harbor, Michigan (
Ruth later recalled that after the collision a steward initially told her
mother "... We've had a little accident. They're going to fix it, and
then we'll be on our way ...".
While the boats were loaded a steward placed Richard and Marion
in one of the boats (#11), and then said "Well that's all for this boat!",
at which Nellie pleaded to be allowed in as well, saying "Please let
me in this boat! Those are my children!" She was allowed in but
Ruth was left on the Titanic, at which point Nellie screamed "Ruth!
Get in another boat!!". She eventually got into Lifeboat 13.
After the sinking, gave her blanket to one of the stokers, who had on
only a sleeveless shirt, and shorts, for working down in the coal
bunkers, and was now shivering in the night air.

sleeveless shirt, and shorts, for working down in the coal bunkers, and was
now shivering in the night air.
After the Carpathian arrived in New York, Nellie Becker told the reporters at
Pier 54 "Don't ask me anything. Ask Ruth, she'll tell you everything."
After the disaster Ruth attended high school and college in Ohio, after which
she taught high school in Kansas. She married a former classmate, Daniel
Blanchard, and after her divorce twenty years later, she resumed her
teaching career. In the years after the disaster she refused to talk about the
Titanic, and her own children, when young, did not know that she had been
on board. However, after her retirement, when she was living in Santa
Barbara, California she began speaking about it, granting interviews and
attending conventions of the Titanic Historical Society. In March of 1990,
she made her first sea voyage since 1912, a cruise to Mexico. She died
later that year at the age of ninety. Her ashes were scattered over the spot
where the Titanic lies.
