Question

From the book the giver, explain how families are formed in Jonas's community and why this is significant so far in the story, within your analysis, use at least 2 pieces of textual evidence as support.
pls help :")

Answer 1

Here are some of the ways the families are significant, I'm not sure how far you are in the story yet tho. I read this book last year, so I can't remember which parts these are from

1) The way they have 2 children to a family, one male and one female

2) Raising children were rules in the community

3) The parents aren't the real birth givers of the children, you had to apply for kids

4) Very controlled family with special practices

Hope this helps! (I believe it's all before chapter 10)

Answer 2

Families are formed at ceremonies that will give a male and female couple one boy and one girl child. they are not the real parents, but the called “birth mother” is. this is important to the story because it shows what normal life is for jonas’s community, unlike our world.
