The Giver Unit Quiz 4: Chapters 10-11

Select the piece of evidence that best shows that Jonas and Fiona are nervous at the beginning of chapter 10.

• "Fiona told him when they reached the front door of the House of the Old" (91)

• "I've been here so often before" (91)

• "She turned her folder over in her hands" (91)

• "everything's different now" (91)

Select all that accurately describe Jonas's first impressions of The Receiver's dwelling in the annex.

• Jonas is excited to read the fabulous stories and daring tales of adventure that the thousands of books must hold.

• Jonas is uncomfortable learning that this is the only door he has ever seen in the community that has a lock.

• Jonas notices that the Receiver's furniture is slightly more luxurious than the standard issue furniture in his own dwelling.

• Jonas is terrified to remove his tunic for the Receiver to transfer memory through touch.

How can we characterize Jonas based on this response to seeing thousands of books for the first time: "Could there be rules beyond the rules that governed the community? Could there be more descriptions of offices and factories and committees?" (94).

Organize these options into the right categories:

Select the statement that best describes each characters' understanding in chapter 10.

• Jonas and the Receiver both understand that, as he reports for training, Jonas is to receive the memories of all generations in all places in the world.

• Jonas believes the Receiver wishes to share memories of his own childhood with him, but the Receiver actually plans to share memories of all generations in all places in the world.

• The Receiver wishes to share memories of his own childhood as well as stories from the books, but Jonas is eager to learn the memories of all the generations of all the places in the world.

• The Receiver plans to share memories of all generations in all places in the world while Jonas only wishes to repeat memories of sledding in the snow.

Order the following to summarize the first memories and training that Jonas gets as the Receiver:

• Jonas is told that Sameness and Climate Control eliminated the things he experienced in the memory.

• Jonas receives the memory of sledding down a hill in the snow.

• Jonas receives a pleasant memory of sunshine.

• Jonas receives the memory of sunburn.

At the end of the chapter, Jonas tells the Giver he is glad he experienced the pain of sunburn; now he says he knows what to expect. The Giver hesitates and does not respond. In fact, he sends him home. Infer why the Giver reacts this way.

• The Giver is extraordinarily weary and exhausted from transmitting memories, and so he no longer wishes to talk with Jonas.

• The Giver knows that Fiona is waiting on Jonas to ride their bikes home together after training, and he does not want Jonas to miss this opportunity.

• The Giver is angry that Jonas cannot comprehend so much information yet, and he dismisses him out of disappointment in the first training.

• The Giver struggles with the knowledge that Jonas will have to endure much worse pain than sunburn, and so he hesitates to answer and dismisses him.
