The Giver: Chapter 14 Review

Jonas's first experience with agonizing pain was

• getting sunburn

• falling off of 20 foot cliff and rupturing his spleen

• losing control of his sled on an icy hill and breaking his leg

• nothing. The Giver refuses to give Jonas painful memories

Which line contains personification?

• In his agony he perceived the word "fire"and felt flames licking at the torn bone and flesh.

• Then, suddenly, he was in the Annex room again, writhing on the bed.

• It was as if a hatchet lay lodged in his leg, slicing each nerve with a hot blade.

The Giver looks away when he denies Jonas pain relief after the sledding memory. His looking away suggests:

• Jonas's wound was too ugly to look at.

• nothing will be able to help Jonas with his pain.

• the Giver feels sorry and ashamed that he cannot help Jonas.

• that the Giver was happy to get rid of one of the many memories that burdened him.

Jonas realizes that no one in the community has ever known pain. The suggestion is that pain is:

• unavoidable to everyone outside of the community.

• a terrible thing that is unnecessary

• making him feel like he is an outcast in this world.

• makes those who feel it appreciate the good moments in life much more than if we never experienced it.

One thing that the Giver always including with painful memories was:

• a lesson on the history of the topic related to the pain.

• a positive memory to lift Jonas's spirits.

• a book to read.

• a thank you to Jonas for making him feel better without the terrible memory weighing on him.

When the Giver recalled his experience of advising the committee against adding a third child, he said they didn't want to hear about the pain (associated with starving), so he only advised them against raising the population. The Giver, and the author, is pointing out:

• that a society that doesn't want to learn is foolish.

• that people need to learn from the failures of the past.

• that people should be more questioning.

• All of the above

After the Giver and Jonas discuss changing the rules in the community, Lowry writes, "Now it was ominous, he knew, that nothing could be changed." Ominous means:

• the idea that something bad will happen

• the idea that something good is about to happen

• ridiculous

• confusing
