The Giver- Chapters 6-10

When the first little Caleb was lost in the river, the entire community-

• celebrated his release

• performed the Ceremony of Loss

• pledged never to use his name for a newchild

• hoped he had found Elsewhere

Gabriel was not at the Ceremonies because he had been-

• already named and placed with Jonas's family

• labeled Inadequate and released

• granted an additional year of nurturing

• assigned to a family unit Elsewhere

As the Ceremony of Twelve begins, Jonas-

• is certain that his Assignment will be the right one for him

• fears that Fiona will be assigned to be a Birthmother

• assumes that he will be assigned to the Rehabilitation Center with Asher

• hopes that he will be assigned to follow in his Mother's footsteps

The Chief Elder shared a recollection (memory) of Asher's childhood. "'...we even gave a little thought to some retroactive chastisement for the one who had been Asher's Instructor of Threes so long ago." Why was chastisement considered?

• Asher fell short of academic expectations.

• Asher did not show respect for the Community.

• Asher had not mastered precise language.

• Asher was not at the expected weight and maturity level for his age.
