The Giver - Chapter 1

We've just read the first chapter of 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry, meeting the main character Jonas and his family.

Was there anything in this first chapter that you have questions or wonderings about?  Comment!

  1. Is this in the future? Or a different reality because it kept talking about things we don't have. It's odd how they talk about their feelings, and how they only have one for the whole day. All of them talked about a feeling that wasn't a good feeling

  2. I really enjoyed the first chapter but I was wondering, they say something about not knowing about the word animals meaning???? I'm a little bit confused in why they don't? I'm not sure maybe I misheard but I'm just curious whether you find out later on.
