30-Second Radio Broadcast - Summarizing a Jonas interview
Homework: Google Classroom One-Paragraph Sunburn Response
On page 109, after having received the memory of a sunburn, Jonas tells the Giver that, “now I understand better, what it meant, that there would be pain.” The Giver didn’t respond,, sat silently for a moment and then told Jonas to go home. In a well-written paragraph, please explain how and why the Giver’s silent response to Jonas’ comment foreshadows what awaits Jonas in the near future. Be specific as to the type of experiences this foreshadowing may be telling readers.
