The Giver, by Lois Lowry Setting a Purpose: Chapters 18‐19 pages 139‐151 (13 pages) OVERVIEW: • We learn more about the Receiver before Jonas‐ the one who failed‐ and why she couldn’t take being the Receiver anymore. • So, the Giver transmits memories to the Receiver, right? Ever wonder what would happen if the Receiver (with all the memories of the past) were to be killed or leave the community? • Jonas finally witnesses a release of a baby. It’s much different than the release of Roberto, the old man. • Jonas learns a shocking piece of information about his own father.
