  10. What have you found so far? Utopian societies Genetic engineering

  11. Create a "perfect" community 5 minutes Give it a name, A system of government, A physical description, An account of how its people spend their days. Discuss how that community would change and grow. What roles would history and memories of painful events play in the growth of the community? What would have to be added to our own society in order to make it perfect? What would be lost in this quest for perfection?

  12. 5 minutes Discussion Question: In The Giver, each family has two parents, a son, and a daughter. The relationships are not biological, but are developed through observation and a careful handling of personality. In our own society, the make up of family is under discussion. How are families defined? Are families the foundations of a society, or are they continually open for new definitions?

  13. Personal response 15 minutes Describe one of your greatest memories as well as one of your more painful memories. What makes the first memory such a fond one, and what makes the second memory one that you would just as soon forget. Would you give up your fondest memory if it meant you also would be able to forget your most painful memory? Why or why not?

  14. Chapter 11 questions

  15. 5 minutes Discussion Question: The Giver pictures a community in which every person and his or her experience is precisely the same. The climate is controlled, and competition has been eliminated in favor of a community in which everyone works only for the common good. What advantages might "Sameness" yield for contemporary communities? In what ways do our differences make us distinctly human? Is the loss of diversity worthwhile?

  16. 5 minutes Discussion Question: Underneath the placid calm of Jonas's society lies a very orderly and inexorable system of euthanasia, practiced on the very young who do not conform, the elderly, and those whose errors threaten the stability of the community. What are the disadvantages and benefits accepting assisted suicide/euthanasia?

  17. Dialectical journalChapter 15 - 16 A dialectical journal is a way of learning to interact with your text. DIALECTIC means “the art or practice of arriving at the truth by the exchange of ideas.” The purpose of this journal is to allow you to have a “conversation” with the text that will deepen your understanding of its contents.

  18. Metaphor: A direct relationship where one thing or idea substitutes for another. • Act IIShakespeare often uses light as a metaphor for Juliet; Romeo refers to her as the sun, as • “a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear,” and as a solitary dove among crows. This use of metaphor helps to describe how Juliet is set apart in her beauty. A jewel would be in stark, beautiful contrast to the dark skin of someone from Ethiopia, as would a white dove in a group of black crows.

  19. Chapters 16 - 19 • Somehow, you come upon Jonas’s Community…a group of people living peacefully, no poverty, no suffering, no pain, no war. Should you tell them about pain and war and all those bad things, or not? List the arguments for telling them, then list the arguments for not telling them. Then decide whether you’d tell them or not. • EXCEPT for the “Release” of babies and others, describe what you think are the worst parts of the society described in this book.
