Light eyes in the Giver, Jonas, and Gabriel are a metaphor for their ability to ‘see beyond,’ or view things differently from other people. Color is a metaphor for choice, while lack of color is a metaphor for a lackluster life. Gabriel, the newchild, is a metaphor for hope of a new beginning where love abounds.

The are different types of figurative language like, a hyperbole, assonance, allusion, alliteration, imagery, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, and simile. When the Giver transferred the memory of the elephant husks being torn off by the poachers. When Jonas says to the Giver I’m starving, he was just hungry.

Why is Lily anxious to turn 10? She can cut her hair and will not have to wear ribbons. The wind whistled as Jonas sped by on his bike. What type of figurative language is being used?

Therefore, Jonas has never experienced anything like the horrors and pain of war before, and after the Giver shares the memory with Jonas, he apologizes because he knows that it has shocked and pained Jonas to receive this memory.

In chapter 13, the Giver tells Jonas that ten years ago, the previous Receiver of Memory failed in her assignment by requesting to be released. When Rosemary was released, her difficult memories spread throughout the community, causing chaos and turmoil to the sensitive citizens.

Jonas and the other community members are unable to see color because the community has eliminated colors in an effort to maintain sameness. Sameness is the community’s name for complete control over everyone’s lives. They want to ensure that everyone in the community shares the same experiences, as much as they can.

Did the giver ever get married? Yes but it was difficult because the giver could not share his memories or books with her. Now his wife lives with the childless adults.

Rosemary was a previous Receiver of Memory who failed and brought some memories back to the Community. She is a minor character in The Giver….

No, Jonas and Fiona do not kiss in The Giver, as romantic relationships are not the basis of the pairings of couples in their community.

The Giver’s real name is never stated in the novel. He used to be known as the Receiver of Memory, but now that he is transmitting memories to the next Receiver, Jonas, he is called the Giver. This isn’t a name as such, but more of a job description, a formal role within the community.

Fiona is condemned to be “released” for helping Jonas. Just as she is about to be “released” by Jonas’s father, the Giver tries to persuade the Chief Elder that the Elders should free the community.

Jonas reappeared for the first time as a full-fledged character — albeit under a different name — in 2004’s Messenger, a sequel to Gathering Blue. And today, his saga (and Gabe’s) finally comes to an end with the release of Son, the first direct sequel to The Giver.

First, Jonas and Gabriel die. The book makes it clear that they are slowly freezing to death. The book also says that Jonas uses his last little bit of strength to find the sled waiting for him at the top of the hill. They sled down the hill to “Elsewhere”, perhaps an afterlife of some kind that follows death.

Father is a Nurturer at the Nurturing Center. He is friendly and loving towards the newchildren. He is the care-taker of Gabriel and the father of Jonas and Lily, married to Mother. He had a sister named Katya….Father.

Both of them are related genetically to The Giver. Jonas and Gabe are actually real brothers. Jonas feels a connection to the newchild right away. He is unsettled by the deep look Gabe seems to have because of those pale eyes.

Lily’s mom doesn’t want lily to become a a birthmother because you don’t get much recognition for being one. Also, you only get to give birth for 3 years then you become aa labourer. At what age do children in the community begin thier volunteering hours.

The announcement reminded male Elevens that “snacks are to be eaten, not hoarded,” referring to an apple that he had taken home with him from school. Jonas had taken the apple because, while playing catch with his friend Asher, he had noticed the apple change in a way he could not describe.

Lily has been Jonas’ little sister since she was assigned to the Family Unit nearly seven years ago. While Lily and Jonas have their sibling spats, Jonas has a stake in her success.

Rosemary committed suicide because she did not want a life of pain. Since Rosemary, Jonas and Gabriel all have pale eyes, it is likely that they are all related, and the capacity to see beyond is inherited.

Lily, also known as Lily-billy (a pet-name given to her by her parents), is Jonas’s younger sister. It is unknown what her assignment will be, but is speculated to be Nurturer. At the beginning of “The Giver”, Lily is a Seven, but in Chapter 6 she becomes an Eight when Jonas becomes a Twelve.

“Lily became an Eight and received the identifying jacket that she would wear this year, this one with smaller buttons and, for the first time, pockets, indicating that she was mature enough now to keep track of her own small belongings.” In the society, children are trained from an early age, to become independent.

Why did Lily become angry with a visiting Seven? He didn’t obey the play area rules.
