As you read The Giver, did you think of Jonas as a hero? At what point did he seem heroic to you, if at all? You may answer these questions differently than other readers of the novel, and that’s okay.

Think about the most important events in The Giver, and try to identify at least one scene that matches up with a stage or event in the hero’s journey. Locate your file containing this module’s journal assignment, paste the prompt below at the end of the document, and label the entry with this lesson’s title. Then, type a response to the prompt.

Describe a scene from The Giver that helps support the claim that the novel is a story about a hero on a quest. If you think The Giver is not that kind of story, describe a scene that makes the plot seem different from a hero’s journey

Answer: Jonas was a hero, he proved he was a hero when he risked his own life to try and take his friend, the girl he loved and a baby Gabriel that he had grown quite attached to. Jonas escaped right away. At the evening meal, his father tells the family that he tried to see if Gabriel could sleep through the night at the Nurturing Center, and that the new child had cried all night. Jonas’s father voted to release him the next day. Jonas wouldn't allow that to happen, so he takes some leftover food and his father’s bicycle and makes his way to else where.
