Read the plot synopsis below of the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry and answer the question that follows. Society has eliminated p

ain and strife by converting to “sameness,” a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from people’s lives. Jonas is selected to fulfill the position “Receiver of Memory,” the person who stores all the memories of the time before “sameness,” in case his society ever needs those memories to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. As Jonas receives the memories from the previous Receiver, now the “Giver,” he discovers the power of knowledge. He faces a dilemma. Should he stay with the community (his family) and live a shallow life without love, color, sound, and knowledge, or should he run away to where he can live life with all experiences, both wonderful and difficult?

I would say he should run away and experience life the way it should have been in the first place. The community shut out all differences and uniqueness.

How is Patrick Maloney, the husband, acting when he arrives home? How is this different from his normal behavior, and what does
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Patrick Maloney drinks heavily when he arrives home. He is not as communicative as he usually is. This behavior foreshadows that he has some news for his wife, which she will not be happy to hear.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives the readers certain clues about what will happen later in the story.

In "Lamb to the Slaughter", Patrick Maloney returns home and everything seems as usual, until he starts to drink a lot of alcohol. He barely talks to his wife, giving short answers to what Mary says. This behavior indicates that Patrick has certain news to share with his wife, and that he expects that she will not be happy when she hears it. He wants to leave his pregnant wife, and is aware that there is a difficult conversation in front of them.
