 * __Review questions 1-8__**

1. Jonas was apprehensive about the ceremony of twelve.

2. Jonas' parents reassure Jonas about the ceremony of twelve so he won't feel apprehensive anymore.

3. What happened with tyhe apple was that it changed colour when he through it but asher didn't see anything.

4. Jonas' volunteer job was to wash an old ladies feet.

5. In chapter five Jonas had a stirring. So he had to take some pills to make it stop.

6. In the community auditorium there is a ceremony that is held each year. The different age groups get called up and recieve gifts and the twelves get given their assignments.

7. When they are giving out the assignments for the twelves, Jonas gets a special assignment, the reciever. There was a whole list of rules for himself like no dream telling and not being allowed to tell anyone about his training.

8. At first the audience is confused about Jonas not getting called out, But when they see that Jonas has been selected he gets all of the attention.

1. I think the positive aspects about Jonas' community would be that they reccieve gifts every year at the ceremony and that they get their assignments when they are 12. The community is also well protected and looked after all the time.

2. I think the negative aspects about Jonas' community would be that they don't get to choose their assignments so they might not like what job they get. You also don't get to have your own children. They also don't get to know much stuff about the rest of the world because they don't know what pain is or any colours.

3. The adjectives I would use to describe Jonas' family would be kind because they are always there to help Jonas and are always happy. I would also use cautious because they are always quite careful about what they say to Jonas.

4. I think that it is a good idea to do volunteer work while they are young because it prepares them for what they do when they are older and probably makes them more confident.

5.

1. The rules that DO disturb Jonas is that he can lie and that he can't tell anyone about his training with the Giver. The rules that DO NOT disturb Jonas is that he can ask any question and he will get a answer.

2. The Givers house is different from the rest because he has his doors locked and none of the other houses in the community do.

3. To transmit memories you have to lie down on a bed and then shut your eyes. Then the Giver places his hands on your back and you will experience the memory. The first memory Jonas recieves is him on a sled in the snow riding down the hill.

4. The three memories Jonas recieves in chapter 11

5. What really happened to the apple that day was that Jonas saw the apple started to change but asher didn't see any thing. What really happened was that the apple was red and Jonas saw the flashing because Jonas was starting to see the colour red.

1. I agree and disagree at the same time that people **should** learn about the history and the past because if they do, then they will know what their family and friends have experience and see how they have grown up. You can also learn about how different the world was before you were born. But they also shouldn't because if they did, then they might get confused about what they are doing because they might think that just because they did something different in the past then they should do it that way because that is how it used to be.

2. I disagree that everyone is equal but is not the same because everyone in the whole world is different in some way or another, even twins are not always alike even though some times they act and look the same. Also I don't really think that everyone is equal because we all have different strengths in different areas in life. Like some people are good at art and some are not, and then again some people are good at soccer but some are not, but no one can be good at everything either.

3. I think that a world without any pain would be a bad thing because if someone did something bad then they would not feel bad about it because they won't feel any pain so even if they did get in trouble they will just do it again because they won't know what they did wrong.


 * __Review Questions 13-23__**

1. Jonas' second memory that was painful was the memory of the war.

2. Jonas' solution for getting Gabriel to sleep was to give Gabriel peaceful memories that made him happy.

3.The extremly painful memory that the Giver was in extreme pain from was the memory of poverty. The starving children and the peeople crying for their mums and dads.

4. The Giver's favourite memory is th memory of christmas. What the community doesn't have but the family in the dream does is love.

5. If Jonas fell into the river and droened then the whole community would know all of his memories.

6. The true deffinition of release is when someone gets an injection and pushes it into their forehead and they die.

7. The Giver didn't have the gift of seeing beyond he had the gift of hearing beyond instead.

8. The plan that the Giver and Jonas came up with was for Jonas to run away and when he did the memories would be given back to the community.

9. The plan went wrong because when he ran away he got real cold from the snow and nearly died.

10. In the last two chapters Jonas bikes away with Gabrielle and he sees snow and a sled along with music.

1. If I didn't tell the community about pain and war etc then they would never be able to really live life the way it should because they wouldn't really know anything at all. But if I did tell them the community would be more thoughtful on how they were living life and how lucky they are but it would also be chaos. I would choose to tell them.

2. I think the worst part of the community other then getting released would be that they can't see colours and they don't know any thing about pain or love.

3.The best parts of the society described in this book is that they would be peaceful because they don't know about war or anything. And they also get to have a ceremony each year and they get their assignments when they are twelve.

4. I think that Jonas and Gabrielle DO die but peacefully and I think that the community get the memories and find out that there is another community from Jonas' last moments in the snow.

5. I think the messages the author is trying to get through to the reader is to believe in yourself no matter what you have been through and that sometimes people are wrong and you can learn from their mistakes.
