The Giver

When I was reading The Giver by Lois Lowry I saw a word of the wiser moment. There hasn't been many word of the wiser throughout chapter 1-4. But the one I found is about the ceremony of twelves and how they get an assignment. In chapter 2, Jonas gets advice from his parents on how the assignment they got was carefully chosen by the elders since it's their job to carefully observe what you do on age 11. "Of course the Elders are so careful in their observation and selections" (Page 16). This shows how Jonas's parents are giving him a lesson on what ever assignment he gets it will be  chosen carefully. As well as he will enjoy the assignment he gets as time goes by. like it in the beginning. "...Yoshika was surprised by her selection as doctor-but she was thrilled." (Page 16) This also shows how Jonas's parents are also giving him advice that even if he gets a job he doesn't like at first he will learn to enjoy it. This is a word of the wiser on how Jonas's parents give him advice and a lesson about the ceremony of 12 and how the assignment he gets will be given to him for a reason and he will enjoy it.

While reading the Giver by Lois Lowry there has been words that repeat again and again. One of these words is release. Which means it's something important because it has been mentioned over and over again when someone makes a mistake. In chapter 1, a pilot had misread the coordinates and tried to go back before someone noticed and he was relased. "A pilot-in-training has misread his navigational instructions-the pilot had been trying to make his way back before his error was noticed. NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE WILL BE RELEASED" (Page 2). This shows how the word release is being mentioned because the pilot made a mistake. As well as when Jonas's father comes home and says that a newborn child might not make it and will be released. "A concern about one of the newchildren-he isn't growing well-the committee's beginning to talk about releasing him" (page 7). This shows how the world release is also said here because a child isn't growing well. So the word release must be important if the pilot wanted to turn back b fore someone noticed so he wouldn't be released and the concern look on Jonas's father's face about the baby not growing good to b released. So this word release is said again and again and must be important.
