Exploring Sacrifice and Individuality in "The Giver"

This analysis of "The Giver" delves into critical questions about the sacrifices individuals make for collective peace and perfection. It invites discussion on how much of oneself one should relinquish for the greater good and questions the feasibility of minimizing pain for a happier existence. Participants will explore themes of irony throughout the novel, particularly how the community’s focus on language precision contrasts with the imprecision found in actual communication. A T-chart will be utilized to highlight discrepancies in meaning, fostering a deeper understanding of key terms.
