Fathers should have a strong desires to protect their offspring and others such as helpless babies if they are in eminent danger, regardless of whose child it is. After I finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry, I found Jonas father does not know one of the basic essentials of fatherhood, the core of love. Currently, in the United States, there are some news reports about a father saving his children life by sacrificing his own life by facing harms ways. We as society view this as the pure love of a father who does the right thing. This act has been true for past generations of different cultures and different societies all over the world.
Fathers generally view children as the most important priority of their life.
When I read this kind of news reports, I understand how much father love their children, and based on this premise, I would like to explore the character of Jonas s father. In The Giver, Jonas s father is very polite responsible for all the physical and emotional needs of every new Part 2 child. I believe is indeed a responsible professional nurturer who enjoys his work. However, in my personal opinion, Jonas s father lacks the true human bonding between father and child. For example, I believe Jonas s father would not sacrifice his life to protect his children or any other children because his doesn t know a true meaning of human love.
