Based on The Giver, do you think that sometimes it is okay to lie? Do memories play an important part in your life and who you are? Is it better...

This question is a pre-reading assessment for The Giver. This answers should be based on your own opinion, but I can still guide you through the process. 


  1. Some people believe that lying is always bad. Is that the case for you? Do you ever lie because you do not want to hurt someone's feelings? If you do that, then it is okay to lie. Maybe you believe truth should always be given no matter what.

  2. Are you who you are today because of the memories that you have? Do you have memories of your family talking about religion or politics? Those memories could play a role in your life today. What other memories do you have that play a huge role in your personality or life? 

  3. Do you think it's best to never be cold or hungry? That could be an amazing life to never experience hunger or cold, especially among our poorest citizens. Or do you think it's better for humans to have some type of suffering?
