The Giver: Ch 16-18

From a memory with a brown horse that had nudged his shoulder, what did Jonas now understand?

• the way horses can be loving
• the bond between animal and human
• the perfect weather for riding horses
• the activity he had always wanted to do

What "favorite" memory did the giver share with Jonas?

• riding a gleaming brown horse through a field
• sledding quickly down a hill
• playing miniature golf with friends
• sitting with family at Christmas

Why was Jonas surprised to see Grandparents in one of the memories?

• because he did not like to think about his grand parents
• because his own grand parents had been released long ago
• because people did not age in his community
• because old people never left the House of Old

When Jonas explained what he was feeling, what did he wish?

• He wished the community could see color.
• He wished The Giver could be his grandparent.
• He wished his parents could keep Gabriel.
• He wished The Giver would never leave him.

What question did Jonas ask his parents after the evening meal?

• "Do you love me?"
• "Do you know who my grand parents are?
• "Do you like Gabriel more than me?"
• "Do you ever see colors?"

What was Jonas's first lie to his parents?

• that he understood why he didn't have grand parents
• that he had never experienced anything fun at training
• that he understood why the word "love" is inappropriate
• that he had never given a memory to Gabriel

What did Jonas do each night for Gabriel?

• He gave him memories.
• He sang him to sleep.
• He fed him to help him grow.
• He gave him a bubble bath.

Something within Jonas told him to do what for the first time?

• tell his parents about his training
• tell Lily about the colors he had experienced
• throw his pill away instead of taking it
• tell Fiona how he felt about her

What rare announcement was made that allowed the community to be free from work, school, training, and volunteer hours?

• "Today is a snow day for everyone in the community."
• "Today is announced as a day of rest for everyone."
• "Today is the first Christmas we will celebrate as a community.
• "Today is declared an unscheduled holiday."
