The Giver by Lois Lowry - Chapter Three 1.) What can you piece together about how children are brought into the world and how they become part of a family grouping in this community?
2.) What is missing from the picture of families you were able to piece together so far?
3.) Based on what you know about the community, why do you think mirrors are rare and that there is no real need of them?
4.) t the end of Chapter Two, Lily’s father “had already gone to the shelf and taken down the stuffed elephant which was kept there. Many of the comfort objects, like Lily’s, were soft, stuffed, imaginary creatures. Jonas’s had been called a bear.” When Lily’s father brings the newchild home at the beginning of Chapter Three, Lily asks him what the newchild’s comfort object is called. When her father says, “Hippo,” she giggles at the strange word. What can you learn about the community by reading between the lines in the descriptions and responses to comfort objects?
