Mr. Walls-The Giver Review

What is the first memory Jonas receives?

• A ride on a sled through falling snow
• A sunburn
• A family at Christmas
• A ride on a sled resulting in a broken leg

Why is Jonas not permitted to apply for release?

• If Jonas left, all the valuable time and money spent on his training would be wasted.
• If Jonas left, all of the Committee of Elders would die of broken hearts because they love him so much.
• If Jonas left, all the memories he had accumulated would enter the minds of the citizens and create chaos.
• If Jonas left, the Giver would be lonely.

Why does the nurturing center release one child from each set of identical twins?

• The staff there is crazy.
• Two identical people cannot exist and only 50 births are allowed per year.
• They need to practice their releasing techniques.
• One twin is always seriously ill at birth.

Why do Jonas's parents refuse to tell him that they love him?

• They think that Jonas will be smothered by their love.
• They secretly hate him.
• They think love is an obsolete word with no meaning.
• They were not paying attention when Jonas asked if they loved him.

How does Jonas keep the search planes from finding him and Gabriel?

• He covers their bodies with think, dirty leaves.
• He shoots down the planes.
• He transmits memories of cold so that heat-seeking planes cannot locate him.
• He stays very still because the planes have motion sensors.

The Giver’s favorite memory is of

• A family at Christmas
• Sledding downhill
• Sailing on a lake
• A birthday party

(of two or more people) fully in agreement

• Unanimous

• Animated

• Philanthropy

• Antibiotic
