Earlier this week we identified a central theme in The Giver, that - painful memories of the past are important to hold onto bec
ause they bring wisdom to the present. How does the information on pages 139-141 support this theme? Use two pieces of evidence from the text in your AEZEZC response. *
Pages 139-141 show the giver telling a painful story about a woman he loved and who was selected as a receiver of memories. Although the romance did not end happily, it gave the giver the memory of someone special and gave him more experience in helping his next friends, who would also be selected as recipients of memories.
Explanation:
"The giver" is a dystopia where young people are selected to keep the memories of humanity, especially the memories of pain and suffering, which the population does not want to have. Although this society seems to be utopian, it proves to be dystopian, since it removes the experiences of humanity, forcing them to live in sameness and causes suffering for the people who will keep these memories and carry the "weight" of the world on their backs.
