The Giver Chapters 11 - 16

The first memory the Giver gives Jonas is

• a sled ride
• a horse ride
• a boat ride
• a carousel ride

What happens to the Giver after transmitting the memory?

• he no longer wants to give Jonas any memories
• he feels sad
• he no longer has the memory
• he is ready to give Jonas all his memories right away

Why doesn't it snow in Jonas's community?

• the community has climate control
• the Earth is getting warmer
• Jonas's community is near the equator

During the first day of job training Jonas experiences

• ice
• lightning and thunder
• sunburn
• rain

"It's just that I don't know your name.  I thought you were the Receiver, but you say I'm the Receiver, so I don't know what to call you."
What is the importance of this line?

• in Jonas's community two people will never have the same name
• the man's reply explains the title of the book
• it is an example of why precision of language is important
• it explains how a name can influence a person's personality

Why does Jonas feel different the day after he begins job training?

• he is the only person training for his job
• he isn't allowed to talk about his training
• he wishes he had been given a different job

Why is Jonas late for his second day of training?

• he rode with Asher to the Department of Bicycle Repair
• he saw the change in Fiona's hair that he had experienced earlier with the apple
• his teacher kept him after school to ask how his training went
• he helped Fiona in the House of the Old

"This time the sled had...that same mysterious quality that the apple had had so briefly.  And Fiona's hair." 
The thing Jonas is seeing is

• light
• music
• color
• laughter

The Giver wants Jonas to understand his capacity to see beyond.  Which line is an example of Jonas's ability?

• We gained control of so many things.  But we had to let go of others.
• The Giver looked startled at the certainty of Jonas's reaction.
• Close your eyes and be still, now.  I'm going to give you a memory of a rainbow.
• Lie back down, now.  We have so much to do.

A theme that is beginning to form in Chapter 12 is

• Jonas begins to disagree with his community's values thinking; he feels sameness is wrong
• The Giver explains to Jonas what society was like when Jonas's community allowed free choice; he said making wrong choices is important
• anger is part of growing up; Jonas is upset and angry when he can't figure out the flashes of red he is seeing
• Jonas is opposed to the Giver's teachings; he feels the Giver is wrong to go against the values of the community
