Excerpt
- In the early chapters of The Giver, what details does the author reveal about the setting? In particular, which parts of Jonas’s physical surroundings seem much different from the world as you know it?
- Jonas is curious about what exactly happens when a person is “released” from the community. What do you think “release” is? Which details from the story lead you to make this guess?
- Jonas normally follows his community’s rules without question. What circumstances can you imagine that might cause him to change his behavior and break an important rule? In other words, what do you think is more important to Jonas than following the rules?
