In “The Giver”, Jonas’s community has strict rules that extend beyond not flying a plane over the city. Citizens are required to apologize for errors and tell their dreams every night. Jonas, who is typically not comfortable with these rules, is particularly uncomfortable with the “telling of feelings” ritual. His mother warns him that once she becomes an Eight, her comfort object will be taken away, so she should get used to sleeping without it.
Jonas shares his dream with his family, where he tries to get Fiona to bathe with him but she refuses. After dinner, Jonas’ family holds the customary ritual of the telling of feelings, where his younger sister Lily explains her anger when someone from a different family is assigned to the family. Jonas realizes that names are given out to replace those who were assigned to a new child named Roberto.
The feelings-sharing ritual in “The Giver” reveals individual character traits and underscores society’s emphasis on emotional regulation. Jonas is apprehensive about his assignment and the rules of the community. His parents comfort him, assuring him that his assignment would be a success.
After Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memories, some of his rules change. He is allowed to lie and be rude, but he is not allowed to share his training or emotions. Jonas also participates in the ritual sharing of feelings with his family, where each member discusses their emotions.
In summary, Jonas’s community’s rules and rituals highlight his discomfort with the rules and emotional regulation within the community.

📹 James Corden and Patrick Stewart clash at Awards

I love Pri because she worked hard to get to where she is now, and not relying on Nick’s empire. Everyone says that she is using Nick for the money and fame, but really I think that she probably has more money than Nick, and she worked hard for everything she has. She really deserves everything that she has now.
Marriage in India is actually in between two families and societies. Its not like an intimate thing for two people. We just love to declare that, hey dude look who is getting married. And its the emotions which led us to invite thousands of people… Basically everyone feels offended even if they forget to invite the doodhwala(milkman).
Actually Indian weddings are a blast! It has so many ceremonies…and being an Indian,I can assure that every ceremony is worth attending.. there is the engagement..then there is a Haldi(turmeric) ceremony in which both, the husband and the wife’s side apply Haldi to the husband and wife respectively and it is believed that due to this the love of the girl and the boy increases ( ek dusre ke pyaar ka rang dil pe chadhta hai)…then there is the Mehendi ceremony.. and the boy has to find his name hidden in the girl’s mehendi on her hand!! Then comes the Sangeet ceremony in which there is dance and other performances from both the sides(girl and the boy)…and finally the WEDDING with lots and lots of ppl.. trust me 200 is actually a really small figure…and in some states there are 2 functions of marriage..one in the morning which is the traditional one with a very few ppl mainly the family…and one in the evening with all those formalities….and finally the reception! Even after so many ceremonies in some areas there are also some additional ceremonies to respect their tradition and all…So when one is attending an Indian wedding you have to take out a holiday for atleast a week😂 Nevertheless it’s the most memorable time! You should atleast attend one Indian marriage in your life😄
I agree Priyanka is intelligent, a great bollywood actress, came from elite background, was miss world.Omg! People need to open their brains and be know about different cultures, countries. Priyanka is beautiful, unique. Just an exceptional, woman. Any man will be proud of her.Nick! is a lucky man. yanka
As a North Indian,let me tell u that weddings in our family have become less grand and more intimate,so the current number of people who come are around 400-500,Its LESS for us considering there was a time,my aunts and uncles got married around 800-1000 guests….Plus our weddings last for weeks,if done traditionally with all rituals sometimes a month and preparations need a full year.The time of the wedding is decided based on sun-moon-star -planet positions using Kundali (ancient Hindu charts of astrology)….SO by that logic Priyanka had an INTIMATE WEDDING
It’s not a lie, it’s true Immediate family: 200 Relatives: sums up to 600 Neighbors common friends business friends and partners your sister or brother friends and classmates and bride groom friends and family colleagues social friends it goes on… imagine you invite 1 but the whole family shows up.. it atleast sums up to 2000 Imagine a person like Priyanka
I am an insider of Bollywood…and ELLEN WAS ACTUALLY INVITED TO THE WEDDING but for some reason she couldn’t make. Here she can be seen throwing much shade to Priyanka…but Priyanka being intelligent herself managed the situation quite well… (Priyanka was all set to make her wedding special so including Ellen was an important part..she invited everyone she could from her and his contacts in Hollywood though most of them couldn’t make it… because of venue…ELLEN,Meghan Markle,The Rock,Sofia Vergara,Jimmy Fallon,Jenna Dewan Tatum,Rebel Wilson,Liam Hemsworth,Hasan Minhaj,etc were few of the ones who were sent an invitation but they couldn’t make it)
My dr’s last name is Chopra & I don’t know if she was Indian or not. She was only filling-in for my regular dr on the phone but she was very nice, smart & sharp & upbeat. It’s Jonas who’s so lucky to marry her for her beauty, brilliant talent, success & popularity & everything to name a few. I wish the couple “all the best” & find eternal peace, love & happiness! God bless them together!
I am perusal Hollywood movies since childhood but I never knew Jonas, on the other hand Priyanka wore the crown of Miss World, she was a big celebrity by herself, she has done movies like Barfi and Fashion, she didn’t grab him, they both deserve each other. And 1000 people is nothing in an Indian wedding, my parents got married in 1990 and they invited 600 people. That is very common India. Ellen has no idea how big celebrity Priyanka is.
A lot of westerners seem to think Priyanka was mostly made famous by nick jonas or something (Ellen clearly being no different) but to a significant portion of the East (I’m talking AT LEAST the WHOLE of south Asian and much of Southeast Asia) she was a household name from her Bollywood megastardom. She was like ultra A list celeb like there are only a handful of female actresses at the very top in Bollywood which is the largest film industry (yes it’s even larger than Hollywood) and she was one of them. Technically she’s “more famous” than the most famous Hollywood actresses like Angelina Jolie but they ain’t ready for that conversation.
For those saying Stewart started it, here’s the full story: before this point, Corden looked and acted very disinterested in everything related to this event. He was on his phone and wasn’t paying attention to anything around him. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. Stewart called him out on it and Corden insulted him for it, so Stewart did a jab back.
Patrick Steward is a smart man. His intention was to show the real narcissistic face of James Gorden. He knew by causing narcissistic injury it would bring out the ugliness inside him and his true face, and show who he really is and…IT WORKED. Ladies and gents, this is how James Corden talks to his staff every time, this is how treats them, this is how he pushes their buttons everyday and everyone who has met him whether at restaurant or work will tell you this is how he behaves. Patrick did everyone a favour to show us who James really is and it got him so much even on camera he couldn’t hold it together. He’s a bully and that is all he is.
It’s scary how quickly James got aggressive the second someone criticised him in any way, very narcissistic behaviour. Regardless of wether you think it’s right Patrick called him out or not, you feel so bad for him because he seems a bit rattled when James invades his space. The ‘belly’ jokes to me looked like a nervous reaction.
Over 10 years on, this is still awkward to watch. I feel Stewart initiates it all and gets personal. Then Corden switches to a hard man persona and gets in Stewart’s face. Overall they both made themselves look nasty and passive aggressive. I’m sure they both regret this, as no one likes the world to watch when the mask slips.
That was very unprofessional of Patrick Stewart. If he thinks the host is bad or is doing something wrong; take it up with the producer or the host directly, but not on stage in front of everybody. If you’re in an office or any other workplace, you would talk directly and privately to the person; not on like a Monday morning staff meeting. Shame on mr Stewart.
This was obviously an informal award show and Patrick was roasting Corden a little bit about his job as a host. It was very soft, but Corden couldn’t take it. Then he started acting all hard up in Stewart’s face. That was hard to watch. James Corden has major punch face and I don’t know how Patrick held back. It obviously threw Patrick off his game. Anyway, James Corden is absolutely awful.
0:23….the second Corden realises this is not some sort of little witty banter session with Captain Picard, but the single most humiliating experience of his whole inexplicably successful career. You can actually see his face collapse in shock half a second before his head slumps. It’s like the Zapruder Film.
It’s surprising how real this is, usually these award show disputes are 100% staged and scripted, the only way to know if it’s real is if it is physically painful to watch. Also I always giggle at James trying to quip that Sir Captain Patrick Jean-Luc Picard was dying on stage while simultaneously he instantly dies inside when the audience just cringes at him for that flop of a joke, they could literally see the knots twisting in his belly from the back of the audience as his soul sank so far down it almost became the first metaphysical hemorrhoid.
Look honestly, James gave Patrick a good intro saying about the brilliant man and James himself said in an interview how he was confused about it as Patrick starting being a bit horrible to him! If Patrick doesn’t like corden then it doesn’t mean he can be rude! He is twice the age of James so he should’ve had a but of decency! No matter if you’re a host, you can have the right to stick up for yourself, so for all the people who are saying sad stuff about corden, yeah sure they’re your opinions and no one can argue against that as it’s how you think about the guy! But honestly, if that was you being the host up there and an elderly respectful guy was being childish hurting your feelings, you would obviously be offended and stick up for yourself! So James corden is only doing what you would’ve done if you were in his position(personally, I think James corden has a lot of talent! And the best part is, he was just an ordinary guy making people laugh, and Patrick should be a good role model, not a twat! And you lot who say James is over weight and stuff, people like you are just pathetic and you have no social life as you pick on people like that.. Also. Sorry for the whole para:) …)
To be honest I think they were both in the wrong. Stewart was really patronising but I think he was just trying to be funny and came off as insulting. Cordon could have handled it with a bit more class and brushed it off rather than making the whole situation super awkward…I think they’re both still great though!
Sir Pat was a bit out of order in his response but I can imagine Cordon was being a right prick. Here’s some little Cordon classics: How he treats everyday working people : “”If nothing fun is happening, then I’ll make something happen myself.” So while working on Gavin and Stacey and staying in hotels, he’d (Cordon) call room service, “and when they showed up I’d sit in the corner and just burst into tears, really wailing like Will Ferrell from Anchorman. The poor hotel staff would be so embarrassed that they’d dump the tray and run away.” He did this five or six times.” more from the same interview: (My thoughts turn to this story at the end of the interview, when Corden’s publicist arrives to take him to the next appointment. In the corridor we bump into a famous journalist from another newspaper whom Corden knows, and they fall into excited conversation. I was about to leave, but we haven’t said goodbye. I try tapping him on the shoulder to just excuse myself quickly. Nothing. I talk to his publicist about her lovely shoes. It’s all faintly awkward. I start wondering, idly, how Corden treats waiters. And I realise that, in his autobiography, he has given at least one eye-popping answer.) How he conducts himself in public: “a less likable side to his character was emerging. At the 2008 Baftas, for instance, he won best comedy performance for his role in Gavin and Stacey; the show also won the audience award for television programme of the year. Arriving onstage to collect this second award he ungraciously asked why the show hadn’t been nominated in the comedy category too.
I think, like quite a few of us, Patrick Stewart doesn’t understand how James Corden managed to reach such a lofty position so quickly. I think it’s about professionalism and respect and I’m guessing Patrick Stewart was looking at Corden and seeing neither. I’m not saying he doesn’t have talent but I can’t help but think his rise is about who he knows rather than any real talent.
Remember perusal this when it first happened and being on Patrick’s side. Now, I’m not sure why. I’m not particularly a fan of either, but Patrick Stewart was the unprofessional one here. If he had a criticism, he should have aired it behind the scenes and not to the entire room and infont of the media, with the sole intention of publicly shaming him.
I didn’t know about this, what a shocker, is this REALLY why James Corden gets all that hate?. It can’t be, Patric Steward was rude and childish beyond belief, I would never have even considered he would treat another professional like that on stage. What the fuck was wrong with him. He is a great actor, one of our best but James Corden is a respected performer of another generation, he has proved himself with his tremendous success. A black day for Patric Stewart, I won’t be able to see him again in the light and respect I always though of him. Oh if it is the Star Trek fans grow up, he is not really captain of a star ship lol
I’m not James Corden’s biggest fan but Patrick Stewart had it coming. It’s not like Corden made fun of him so Patrick Stewart retaliated based on that. It was unprovoked. In fact what they didn’t show in this article is the nice things he said before he introduced him on stage. He should have been more careful about who he picked a spat with because people like James Corden make it their business to rip you apart. People are backing up Stewart because of what he’s done in his career but making fun of someone’s weight is completely out of line. If the situation was reversed then people would crucify Corden. But because it’s a well respected actor like Sir Patrick it’s easily forgotten.
It took me a few minutes of processing to even know what I wanted to say about this… But I was so moved by this… I felt like I had to say something. To be honest, I was fans of them both… And I say “was” because both of them completely lost my respect during this exchange. Although it is obvious that Patrick started it and was being completely disrespectful to James… James came back and sunk to his repulsive level and that was terribly disappointing for me. I think it would’ve been bad to lose just one of them as one of my favorites, but I feel pretty devastated that now I don’t enjoy either one of them. 💔
When you’re the professional host – irrespective of what the guests say (alcohol is standard at events like that) – ones behaviour is always professional and above the guests misbehaviour. Managing the guests professionally is what ones paid to do. Obviously something previously said had upset/offended Patrick, but we’ll never know what that was.
This was a very misguided attempt at humour from Patrick Stewart. He’s clearly had a bit too much to drink and I think he was trying to chastise James Corden in a playful manner and completely missed the mark. He then went on to start talking about James Corden’s belly (which at that time James Corden constantly used as an attempt at ‘comedy’ himself) and it fell flat. He should have just stopped.
I confess that I’m not fully on-board with the body positivity movement, because it can be easily abused to enable unhealthy lifestyles. Likewise, I am mystified as to what James Corden’s talent is actually supposed to be. However, Patrick Stewart’s behaviour here is inexcusable. It’s neither witty nor justified; it’s just plain mean-spiritedness. While predictable, Corden came out on top by embracing his body and making light of the situation. It’s probably the only time I’ll ever say that about him. Stewart was an embarrassment regardless of his credentials
James Corden might be minus on my scale people who I like and who I don’t but there’s a way of conducting yourself, and Patrick Stewart deserved everything he got in that exchange; it was crude vulgar and way below the belt, and it’s NEVER ok to abuse someone over their weight like that especially in public. It takes a lot to make me root for James Corden but Patrick managed it!
Patrick Stewart was basically just fat shaming James Corden. I don’t know anyone in this comment section or in that audience that night would find that funny or smart?? It’s a very cheap and hurtful way to bully someone. Patrick Stewart is a bully. That’s all. Not James acted like a child, he acted like a child.
Really crass all round. You can see by Corden’s body language how humiliating this was. That’s because it’s plain old bullying and encourages bullying in others. Shame on Stewart. I don’t like Corden one bit, but Patrick Stewart just demonstrates what an entitled, classless lovey he is, and then dares to moralise in James Corden’s direction. He should know better at his age. If he had something to say to Corden, he should have taken him aside, in private, and told him what he thought. This was just grotesque exhibitionism.
This is why military is taught to stand at rest with your hands cupped in front of you. It looks proper and shows respect. I have been out of the Navy 11 years and I still naturally go to that position when at a formal event. But any mature person knows to not stick your hands in your pocket at a formal event, when you are presenting.
To those who are siding with Patrick Stewart lol why is he a legend? Because he’s old and appeared on xmen? Class is when someone is irritating yet you ignore them, he calls out someone and gets shamed for it. He deserved it. On the other hand look at zoey, now that’s class. Doesn’t have anything to do with age or movies, just being human and handling things better.
This has the makings of an epic ST:TNG / MCU crossover episode. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise, en route to a diplomatic conference on Tarsis IV, encounter a seemingly lifeless, scarred, humanoid floating through space. Without a spcesuit. And clutching what appears to be a long-handled, finely edged melee weapon. It’s Fat-Thor.
We can all agree that we’re both in the wrong but we can also all agree that Corden has had so many fans and staff members complain about his behavior (not giving the audience a second look during live recordings, staying on his phone, being rude to wait staff, saying lesbophobic slurs, being creepy with young child stars (see him interacting with Justin Bieber when he was 16)) so yeah, Sir Stewart’s insults were a little harsh but…well, we all know.😂
Don’t know what people are talking about. The important part of the article es the magically beautiful Zoe Saldana being gracious as a goddess and subtle and intelligent in the middle of a pretty clumsy situation between two dudes. What are you looking at? Is there anything else worth perusal besides Zoe Saldana?
James Corden is an embarrassment. He thinks he is funnier and cleverer than he really is and he exposes his narcissism every time he opens his mouth. Getting right up in Patrick Stewarts face and being intimidating was childish and unprofessional. He got called out for being self absorbed and tried to blame Patrick Stewart for pointing it out instead of taking responsibility for being ignorant. He’s a joke – and not a funny one.
Never thought I’d side with Corden as I never could stand him. But Stewart is really showing petty pedantism in his micro analysis of his body language and is nasty in addressing him. I believe Corden was doing a professional enough job. That kind of tedious judging of how people stand and show attention is really unattractive and a sign of overblown self importance.
