Pain In The Giver
. Describe how Jonas gets to experience pain in his sled-ride memory.
The sledge knocked in the hill and Jonas was jarred loose and thrown violently into the air. He fell with his leg twisted under him while he could hear the crack of his bone. His face scraped along sharp edges of ice when he lay shocked with fear. Then he felt the first wave of pain. It was like a hatchet lay lodged in his leg, cutting through each nerve with a hot blade. He tried to move but couldn’t because the pain grew. He screamed and turned his head and vomited on to the frozen snow.
2. Why do you think The Giver ends each training session with color-filled memories of pleasure? To relief Jonas of pain
3. “The memories give us wisdom” (p.111). Do you agree or disagree?
