<u>The Giver</u>, by <u>Lois Lowry</u>, is set in a futuristic dystopian / utopian society. Based on the evidence in the text, the place where <u>Jonas</u> lives seems to be a fairly small community. The community is by a river, which comes up often in the plot (at one point, a four year old boy name Caleb drowns in the river). 

The various places within the community include: 

The Nursery, the Nurturing Center, the Childcare Center, the Department of Justice, the school, the fish hatchery, the House of the Old, the Rehabilitation Center, the Hall of Open Records, the Hall of Closed Records, the Auditorium (where public events are held, such as the ceremony of twelves), and various family houses (called units or dwellings).

Also, there is a Annex, where the Giver / Receiver lives. It is special and noteworthy because it is the only place in the entire community that has locks on the doors, indicating the Giver / Receiver's unique status in the community. 

A VERY important setting is also "Elsewhere," which is what the members of this community call anywhere that is beyond the community. At the very end of the novel, Jonas escapes the community and supposedly makes it to the mysterious "Elsewhere."

Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? Father Wolf waited till his cubs could run a little, and then on the night of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The detail that uses sensory words to describe Akela is:

C. out at full length on his rock.

Explanation:

Sensory words are words or phrases that appeal to one of more of our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Having that in mind, we can use elimination to answer this question:

A. a hilltop covered with stones and boulders - may appeal to sight, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

B. who led all the Pack by strength and cunning - does refer to Akela, but does not appeal to any of the five senses. The words "strength" and "cunning" demand a different kind of interpretation from readers. This option is incorrect.

C. out at full length on his rock - this is the correct option. We can imagine Akela lying down on the rock; we can even see the position of his body because of this description. Imagine your dog or cat, for instance, lying down on the floor, with his/her belly's whole extension touching the floor.

D. from badger-coloured veterans - again, does appeal to the senses, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

In the poem the golden cat, a narrator describes a cat who brings joy and light to the world. Which best describes whether this
evablogger [386]

The correct answer is D <em>"while the narrator is a real person, his encounter with the cat is fictional."</em>

This is because we know for sure the narrator does exist, the story he tells is takes place on Earth but we don't know if the cat does. He brings joy and light to the world but it obvius it does not exist, he is talking to it while it is outside the real world.
