  5. The Call to Adventure is the part of the Hero’s Journey when the Hero first realizes his life is going to change and Jonas experiences this in two ways. For example, on page 24 Jonas says, “There was absolutely nothing remarkable about that apple. He had tossed it back and forth between his hands a few times, then thrown it again to Asher. And again- in the air for an instant only – it had changed.”Here, Jonas experiences something that is completely new to him. He realizes that his life is going to change because nothing like this has ever happened to him before.In addition, on page 57, Jonas is absolutely stunned when the Chief Elder skips his number and moves on to twenty. Jonas begins to feel like he has done something terribly wrong because no one has ever been skipped before. Panicked he doesn’t know what to do and realizes that his life is has changed for the worse. As a result Jonas realizes that his life is going to change at least twice in during his journey in the Giver.
