Giver


Prompt 1 - In the Giver, everyone is nearly the same. All things are controlled and individuality has been eliminated. All this is done to bring peace to the common good Is there an advantage to this way of life and how can it be used in today's world?

Prompt 2 - Discuss the attitude toward euthanasia as expressed in The Giver. Does the novel condemn, promote, or donditionally accept the practice? Explain your choice with evidence from the text.

Answer:

Prompt 1: The society in the Giver, is structured in such a way that promotes security over freedom. The people have no choices or freedom of any kind, yet they don't need to worry about getting enough resources, or basic survival needs because everything is planned out by the government.

Prompt 2: I would say that the attitude toward euthanasia is mostly accepted because that is what is written into the society, and part of your planned out life. However, I think you would need to go back to the text and pay attention to the tone and word choices around that subject.

Read the article "Voyages of Discovery:"


Centuries ago, countries sponsored explorers to set sail for parts unknown and return with tales of new lands. These explorations led the Europeans to discover North America. The ocean journey from England, France, or Spain to North America was 3,000 miles of unknown dangers, but it led to discoveries. Explorers made these treacherous voyages for three main reasons: religion, wealth, and competition. These voyages of discovery began in the eleventh century.


Historical records indicate that Leif Eriksson, a Viking explorer, was the first man to reach North America around 1000. Leif is credited with landing along the coastline of present-day Newfoundland. A Viking settlement was established and occupied for several years before Eriksson left to return to his homeland. He died around 1020.


Much later, Christopher Columbus left his homeland in 1492 to seek wealth in the form of trade items. The Italian explorer was destined for China but erred in direction and arrived on Watling's Island in the Bahamas. It was a long and dangerous journey. Upon arrival, Columbus dedicated the newly discovered land to the Spanish King and Queen of Aragon. Then, Columbus made three more voyages to North America in 1493, 1498, and 1502. To the very end, Christopher Columbus was adamant that he discovered a trade route to China. He denied ever being to North America.


Credited with sailing around the southern tip of Florida, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon had several adventures in the New World. His journey around Florida occurred in 1513. At the time, he thought Florida was an island. When he returned to Florida in 1521, he was wounded by a poisoned arrow, which ultimately ended his life.


Afterward, Hernando De Soto, a Spanish adventurer, left to explore present-day Florida in 1538. He and his men traveled thousands of miles through the South. They were the first Europeans recorded to have crossed the Mississippi River in 1541.


Sir Walter Raleigh was a soldier, a writer, and a friend of the Queen of England. Around 1587, he sent English colonists to a region later called Virginia. The colony is believed to have been located in North Carolina. Since the people arrived together, their previous lifestyle and beliefs were transplanted to the New World.


Finally, Rene Robert de La Salle was French. Historical data credits de La Salle as being the first explorer to traverse the Mississippi to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico. He claimed the land that bordered the Mississippi River (about a third of present-day United States) for France on April 9, 1682. He built numerous forts along the route, but the settlers were often terrorized by the natives.


These brave explorers from England, France, and Spain have left their legacy. As a result of their adventures, many people now enjoy North America's religious diversity, natural resources, and independence.

Read the following excerpt from the article "Volunteers Count Every Street Tree in New York City." As you read, think about which statements are opinions and which ones are facts.

Did you know? Over 80 percent of the U.S. population lives in cities or metropolitan areas, making urban trees more important than ever. Trees bring many benefits to human health--they filter air pollution, release oxygen, reduce mental stress, and absorb rainwater and noise. Trees in cities connect rural forests and parks to the urban landscape, creating habitat linkages for wildlife species like migratory birds. These are some of the many reasons the U.S. Forest Service supports trees in urban areas, and why the City of New York has been recruiting residents to count its trees for decades.

Which of these statements is an opinion?

a. "Trees in cities connect rural forests and parks to the urban landscape. . . ."
b. "[U]rban trees [are] more important than ever."

Dissect and analyze the allegory of the man overboard from: "A man overboard!
What matters it? The vessel does not halt. The wind blows. That sombre ship has a path which it is
forced to pursue. It passes on.
The man disappears, then reappears; he plunges, he rises again to the surface; he calls, he stretches
out his arms; he is not heard. The vessel, trembling under the hurricane, is wholly absorbed in its own
workings; the passengers and sailors do not even see the drowning man; his miserable head is but a speck
amid the immensity of the waves. He gives vent to desperate cries from out of the depths. What a spectre
is that retreating sail! He gazes and gazes at it frantically. It retreats, it grows dim, it diminishes in size. He
was there but just now, he was one of the crew, he went and came along the deck with the rest, he had his
part of breath and of sunlight, he was a living man. Now, what has taken place? He has slipped, he has
fallen; all is at an end.
He is in the tremendous sea. Under foot he has nothing but what flees and crumbles. The billows, torn
and lashed by the wind, encompass him hideously; the tossings of the abyss bear him away; all the
tongues of water dash over his head; a populace of waves spits upon him; confused openings half devour
him; every time that he sinks, he catches glimpses of precipices filled with night; frightful and unknown
vegetations seize him, knot about his feet, draw him to them; he is conscious that he is becoming an abyss,
that he forms part of the foam; the waves toss him from one to another; he drinks in the bitterness; the
cowardly ocean attacks him furiously, to drown him; the enormity plays with his agony. It seems as
though all that water were hate.
Nevertheless, he struggles.
He tries to defend himself; he tries to sustain himself; he makes an effort; he swims. He, his petty
strength all exhausted instantly, combats the inexhaustible.
Where, then, is the ship? Yonder. Barely visible in the pale shadows of the horizon.
The wind blows in gusts; all the foam overwhelms him. He raises his eyes and beholds only the
lividness of the clouds. He witnesses, amid his death-pangs, the immense madness of the sea. He is
tortured by this madness; he hears noises strange to man, which seem to come from beyond the limits of
the earth, and from one knows not what frightful region beyond.
LES MISÉRABLES 114
There are birds in the clouds, just as there are angels above human distresses; but what can they do
for him? They sing and fly and float, and he, he rattles in the death agony.
He feels himself buried in those two infinities, the ocean and the sky, at one and the same time: the
one is a tomb; the other is a shroud.
Night descends; he has been swimming for hours; his strength is exhausted; that ship, that distant
thing in which there were men, has vanished; he is alone in the formidable twilight gulf; he sinks, he
stiffens himself, he twists himself; he feels under him the monstrous billows of the invisible; he shouts.
There are no more men. Where is God?
He shouts. Help! Help! He still shouts on.
Nothing on the horizon; nothing in heaven.
He implores the expanse, the waves, the seaweed, the reef; they are deaf. He beseeches the tempest;
the imperturbable tempest obeys only the infinite.
Around him darkness, fog, solitude, the stormy and nonsentient tumult, the undefined curling of
those wild waters. In him horror and fatigue. Beneath him the depths. Not a point of support. He thinks of
the gloomy adventures of the corpse in the limitless shadow. The bottomless cold paralyzes him. His
hands contract convulsively; they close, and grasp nothingness. Winds, clouds, whirlwinds, gusts, useless
stars! What is to be done? The desperate man gives up; he is weary, he chooses the alternative of death; he
resists not; he lets himself go; he abandons his grip; and then he tosses forevermore in the lugubrious
dreary depths of engulfment.
Oh, implacable march of human societies! Oh, losses of men and of souls on the way! Ocean into
which falls all that the law lets slip! Disastrous absence of help! Oh, moral death!
The sea is the inexorable social night into which the penal laws fling their condemned. The sea is the
immensity of wretchedness.
The soul, going down stream in this gulf, may become a corpse. Who shall resuscitate it?"
