One of the most important themes in The Giver is the significance of memory to human life. Lowry was inspired to write The Giver after a visit to her aging father, who had lost most of his long-term memory. She realized that without memory, there is no pain—if you cannot remember physical pain, you might as well not have experienced it, and you cannot be plagued by regret or grief if you cannot remember the events that hurt you. At some point in the past the community in The Giver decided to eliminate all pain from their lives. To do so, they had to give up the memories of their society’s collective experiences. Not only did this allow them to forget all of the pain that had been suffered throughout human history, it also prevented members of the society from wanting to engage in activities and relationships that could result in conflict and suffering, and eliminated any nostalgia for the things the community gave up in order to live in total peace and harmony. According to the novel, however, memory is essential. The Committee of Elders does recognize the practical applications of memory—if you do not remember your errors, you may repeat them—so it designates a Receiver to remember history for the community. But as Jonas undergoes his training, he learns that just as there is no pain without memory, there is also no true happiness.

The metaphysical poets are a group of poets from the 17th century. They are loosely associated, and their writings differ greatly, so the commonalities among them are not obvious. However, one of the clearest ones is the use of wit. This can be seen in the metaphors they used. These metaphors, called <em>conceits</em>, are extremely creative, and at times comical or absurd. They also excelled in their use of wordplay.

I wanted to buy the car (but/however) it was costlier than my house.
Explanation:
You could use either but or however for the first and last question because the second sentence is contradicting the first sentence. For the second question you could have it both ways, but I recommened using the first way, (He bought a house and it's near the zoo.) because it uses a clause.
