The Giver Discussion Assignment - WILL GIVE 5 STARS AND THANKS/ BRAINLIEST

Please respond with your answer to one of the questions below using evidence and elaboration.

1. How do you think the training as Receiver will affect Jonas’s relationships? How will it affect his future relationships, such as applying for a spouse and children? Do you think the honor that comes with this position is worth it to Jonas?

2. Discuss the positive and negative aspects of being The Receiver of Memory. Why does Jonas feel isolated? How does Jonas react to seeing in color?

3. Do you feel that Jonas giving Gabriel a pleasant memory was a wise choice? What was Jonas’s reason for doing this?

4. Discuss what it really means to be “released.” How does Jonas react to this knowledge? How will this change his relationship with his father after seeing the release of the twin?

(i picked #2)

Some positive aspects would be the fact that Jonas can constantly grow wiser and can continue to be exposed to new experiences. Negatively, he can not share the great experiences with anyone nor can anyone relate to the  bad experiences. No one can feel his pain; Jonas, even though he loves being the receiver, feels completely alone. Jonas is in awe of color, he thinks its so amazing that everyone should be able to experience it.

Number 4

Explanation:

Being released actually means killing someone, but Jonas thought they were just being sent off somewhere. Jonas is surprised that they killed people, and even mad. Jonas has a different perspective about his dad once he saw the release of the twin.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
