Ok, so the passage and answer choices that I'm pretty sure correspond with this question is:


"For a long time, I refused to forgive Philippe for what he had said. I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy. But soon it was my insides that were burning."

A. It illustrates unforgiveness as a poison to show how it can be administered incorrectly.


B. It compares unforgiveness as a poison to show that it hurts the offended more than the offender.


C. It likens enemies to poison to show that sometimes we don't know we've been harmed until it's too late.


D. It makes Philippe seem like poison to show how he damaged the speaker's inner being.

Themes in the Giver:
JulsSmile [24]

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.
