The Giver
Chapter 3
Father tells Lily the the Birth mother actually never get to see the new born. "the Birth mothers actually never get too see the newborn. If you enjoy the little ones so much, you should hope for an Assingnment as a Nurture" pg.28
Asher was playing catch with Jonas using an apple, but Jonas noticed something mysterious about the apple. It felt as if it changed in mid-air. So Jonas asked Asher if he saw it too, but he just said the apple keeps "jumping out of his hands" because his hand-eye coordination wasn't that strong. "Does anything seem strange to you? About the apple? Yes, Asher called back, laughing. It jumps out of my hand onto the ground!" pg.13
Jonas felt weird that the baby had the same eye shade as him which was really rare. No one ever noticed they were different, but there was also no rule against it. He then remembered an odd memory from a few years back when he took an apple home which was not allowed. "Jonas himself, and a female Five who he had noticed had the different, lighter eyes." pg.25
Lily wants to be a Birth mother when she grows up, but Mother insures her that it's not the best choice because they would have to work really hard. So she eventually changes her decision to becoming a Nurturer where she can still work with babies. "When you're an Eight and start your volunteer hours, you can try some at the Nurturing Center, Mother suggested. Yes, I think I will," pg.28
Mother strongly disagrees with Lily wanting to be a Birth mother.She thinks there isn't a lot of honor and is just a waste of time as your Assingnment. "After that they are Laborers for the rest of their adult lives, until the day that they enter the House of Old." pg. 27
Chapter 5
In Jonas' Stirring, Fiona was in it laughing and saying no to getting in the bathtub with Jonas. "But she wouldn't. She kept laughing and saying no" pg. 45
Mother stayed home with Jonas to listen to what happened in his dream. She explained to him that they were his first Stirrings and that everyone gets them around his age. He would just have to take a pill each morning to keep them away. "It's just the pills. You're ready for the pills, that's all. That's the treatment for Stirrings" pg. 48
Jonas had a dream the night before, which usually never happens. His dream was about wanting Fiona to get in the bathtub with him. They called it the Stirrings. You'd need to take a pill each morning to stop them from coming again. "the feeling you described as the wanting? It was our first Stirrings." pg. 47
Father asked Jonas about the dream and left with Lily and Gabriel after he received a glance from Mother so they could talk privately. "Thank you for your dream, Jonas, Mother said after a moment. She glanced at Father." pg. 46
Chapter 12
Jonas asked The Giver about why he saw the "changing" of certain objects. He found out that he was beginning to see the color red. Which then answered all his confusion in the past experiences of "seeing-beyond". "...She herself didn't change, exactly. But something about her changed for a second. Her hair looked different; but not in its shape, not in its length..." pg. 115
Mother had asked Jonas first thing in the morning to see if he was sleeping soundly and checked if he had any dreams. "You slept soundly, Jonas?" pg. 111
Fiona rode with Jonas after class and discussed Fiona's assignments. While Jonas just stayed quite most of the time, knowing that he wasn't allowed to share information about his assignments. "I stayed a little longer than I expected. Jonas explained. She pedaled forward silently, and he knew that she expected him to tell her why." pg. 113
The Giver explained to Jonas that the "seeing-beyond" he was experiencing was just his first few times seeing the color red. He asked Jonas to try to recall the memory of the sled to test if he can really see the color red. "...everything had a shape and a size, the way things still do, but they also had a quality called color." pg. 119
Chapter 16
The Giver transferred the memory of family and love to Jonas, telling him it was his favorite one. He and Jonas discussed how changing the way things worked in the community by unlocking the feeling of love. "...And that I wish we could be that way, and that you could be my grandparent...I like the feeling of love" pg. 158
Mother explained to Jonas that even saying the word love is inappropriate in their community. "Do you understand why it's inappropriate to use a word like love?" pg. 160
Jonas received the memory of love, feeling something he has never experienced before. Later in the chapter, he expresses how important the feeling of "love" is to one's life. "Things could change...Things could be different." pg. 161
Gabriel received some of the memories from Jonas every night, letting him sleep more soundly at night. The ones in particularly are the ones filled more with happiness and joy. "Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun..." pg. 161
Chapter 9
Father told the story of the "girl" who the Chief Elder failed on a selection for the next Receiver, and how there's a lot of honor but there's also a hint of risk in the job. "...as one Eleven had been passed over when the Assignments were given. Then the announcement, when they singled out the one...We don't know. We never saw her again." pg. 85
Jonas felt that there was a little hesitation in each congratulation everyone gave to him. He also felt nervous and worried about the amount of pain and how he would be restricted to do a lot of things. Which might eventually take away all the fun and happiness in his life. "What would happen to his friendships? His mindless hours playing ball, or riding his bike along the river? Those had been happy and vital time for him. Were they to be completely taken from him, now?" pg. 87
Mother explains that getting the job as a Receiver is a great honor and how only a small percent of people can be selected. "This is different. It's not a job, really. I never thought, never expected-" pg. 84-85
Chapter 8
Jonas was selected to be the next Receiver of Memory which was one of the most rare and honored. At first, he was nervous and unsure that he had been selected, but once he say how the whole community chanted his name, he felt gratitude. "I don't understand it yet. I don't know what it is. but sometimes I see something. And maybe it's beyond." pg. 80
Chief Elder explained the requirements for the Receiver of Memory d how they always knew it was going to be Jonas from when he was just a toddler. The Receiver needs to have intelligence, integrity, and courage. "Jonas was identified as a possible Receiver many years ago. We have observed him meticulously. There were no dreams of uncertainty." pg. 78
