Think about things parts of the story that Lois Lowry left unwritten. You want to find something you know happened, but the narrator didn't show us. Here are some examples:
- What does a marriage look like in a community where people think "love" is meaningless?
- What would one of the other jobs look like (recreation director, caretaker, teacher, etc.)?
- What happened way, way back to make people set up this kind of government?
- How are other communities different?
- How did others (Asher, Fiona, Jonas's family, the Giver, the leaders) react to Jonas running away?
- What will happen in the community when the memories come back?
- Do other people have "super powers" like Jonas's ability to share memories?
- Did Jonas really find a sled, or was that in his imagination? Does he live or die?
- What happens when Jonas reaches the other community?
Pick one of these questions or another one that makes you wonder. This will become the focus for your story.
You will write a short chapter about one of these ideas that wasn't actually in the book.
- Make a new Document called "[Yourname] Giver Missing Chapter"
- On this file, write out your idea as a question. Then, answer the question in three sentences or LESS! Due tomorrow.
