What is the first colour Jonas sees?
RED
|
what was the first real memory of pain that Jonas received?
A BROKEN LEG
|
“This time it had been Fiona who had undergone that fleeting indescribable change. As he looked up and toward her going through the door, it happened; she changed. Actually, It seemed to be just her hair.”
FIRST TIME JONAS REALIZES HE CAN SEE RED
|
|
As Jonas continues his training, he often finds himself angry with his groupmates and his family. Why?
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT PAIN IS.
|
“Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time.We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with differences.”
THE GIVER, ABOUT COLOUR
|
||
How did the Giver show ALL the other colours to Jonas?
WITH THE MEMORY OF THE RAINBOW
|
The Giver says that without memories, knowledge is meaningless. What does he mean?
THE ELDERS GAVE HIM THAT WEIGHT. tHE TEACHERS AND INSTRUCTORS WERE TAUGHT WHAT TO SAY.
|
“He placed one hand on each of their shoulders. With all of his being he tried to give each of them a piece of the memory: of the being of the elephant, of the towering, immense creature and the meticulous touch with which it had tended its friend at the end.”
JONAS TO LILY AND HIS FATHER
|
|
What happened to the memories the Give passed to the previous Receiver and now to Jonas?
THEY JUST DISAPPEAR AND ARE GONE, TRANSMITTED TO THE NEW RECEIVER
|
How can the memory of hunger give them wisdom?
KNOWING THAT OVERPOPULATION MAY LEAD TO STARVATION AND THEN TO WARS
|
“I’ll have to select the one that is to be nurtured, and the one to be released. It’s usually not hard, though. Usually, it’s just a matter of birthweight. We release the smaller of the two.”
THE FATHER, ABOUT THE TWINS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BORN
|
|
What did Jonas do when his friends talked about their training? How did he feel about that?
HE JUST LISTENED TO THEM. hE COULDN'T USE WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT HE KNEW.
|
What causes the Giver so much pain?
THE MEMORIES OF THE PAST
|
How did Jonas calm Gabriel at night?
HE PASSED SOME PLEASANT MEMORIES TO HIM
|
“It isn’t fair that nothing has color!”
“If everything’s the same, then there aren’t any choices! I want to wake up in the morning and decide things!”
