Title: The Giver Date read: November 18 Pages read: Chapter 1
Chapter 1 -- Lily, Jonas' sister, announces that she felt angry that afternoon because a group of Sevens had visited her Childcare group, and a boy had constantly cut in line in front of everyone else who had been waiting. Mother and Father suggest that perhaps the boy did not know the rules of their community too well because he was from another community. After listening to her parents, Lily admits that she is no longer angry, but rather, sorry for the boy who must have felt awkward in a new place.
Theme: We can more easily forgive others when we realize what they must be feeling.
