Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the main character?

Answer: Jonas

"'Jonas,' she said, speaking not to him alone but to the entire community of which he was a part, 'you will be trained to be our next Receiver of Memory. We thank you for your childhood.'"

2. What was his assignment?

Answer: Receiver of Memory

"He has shown all the qualities that a receiver must have."

3. What was the first memory the Giver gave to Jonas?

Answer: snow

"'It's like going downhill through deep snow on a sled...At first it's exhilarating: the speed; the sharp, clear air, but then the snow accumulates, builds up on the runners and...' 'That meant nothing to you, did it?' Jonas was confused. 'I didn't understand it, sir.' 'Of course you didn't. You don't know what snow is, do you?'"

4. What was the child's name that stayed with Jonas's family?

Answer: Gabriel

No one was supposed to know the new child's name until the Naming Ceremony. But since Jonas's father was a nurturer, he had access to that information and thought that if he called Gabe by his name then he would get better and not have to be released.

5. Gabriel is released.

Answer: False

He was going to be released, but Jonas kidnapped him, stole his dad's bike and ran away from the community.

6. Jonas saw a release.

Answer: True

He was shocked at what he saw. He thought that it was more pleasant than getting a long needle stuck into a vein. This is one of the reasons why he decided to kidnap Gabe after he found out that he was to be released.

7. How many births are Birthmothers allowed to have?

Answer: 3

"They wanted to increase the rate of births. They wanted each Birthmother to be assigned four births instead of three, so that the population would increase and there would be more Laborers available." The Giver discouraged this because of his memories of famine and starvation.

8. What sense did Jonas have first (that no other member besides the giver had)?

Answer: color

He saw the apple turn red, as well as his friend Fiona's hair.

9. Jonas hears music at the end of the book.

Answer: True

10. Jonas is released.

Answer: False

He runs away and if he was caught, he probably would have been released.
