  2. The Giver • Quote-"He liked the feeling of safety here in this warm and quiet room; he liked the expression of trust on the woman's face as she lay in the water unprotected, exposed, and free." Chapter 4, pg. 30 • Type of technique-Similes-pg81. Jonas makes a simile when in the first memory the snow gathers on the back of his hands; he compares it to cold fur • It shows that Jonas’ world doesn’t experience any pain. They are “unprotected, exposed and free”.

  3. The Giver • Quote-"You will be faced, now, with pain of a magnitude that none of us here can comprehend because it is beyond our experience. The Receiver himself was not able to describe it, only to remind us that you would be faced with it, that you would need immense courage." Chapter 8, pg. 63 • Type of technique-Metaphor-Jonas had become a rock. He could not move, but yet knew his existence. • Jonas will receive pain that no one can describe, not even the Giver. He will need immense courage to help himself overcome the pain.

  4. The Giver • Quotes-"Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with difference. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others." Chapter 12, pg. 95 • Type of technique-Irony-the fact that Jonas's good friend Fiona, towards whom he is starting to develop feelings, is the one who ultimately stands for everything that he hates within the society: Release. • Sameness was chosen so Jonas’ community would not experience pain, fear, or war. These decisions were made back and back and back.

  5. The Giver • Quote-"Things could change, Gabe. Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors. And grandparents. And everybody would have memories. You know about memories." Chapter 16, pg. 128 • Type of technique-hyperbole-"I'm starving." and he gets scolded because he is just hungry not starving, no one is ever starving in his community. • No one in the community is ever starving because of the food distribution. Jonas overreacted when he said he was “starving”.

  6. The Giver • Quote-"It's the way they live. It's the life that was created for them. It's the same life that you would have, if you had not been chosen as my successor." Chapter 20, pg. 153 • Type of technique-personification-the monkeys acted like humans. • The way the people lived was to kill people that were breaking the rules or were ready to leave. Sometimes they were killed if they were unhealthy.
