The
Giver
 
 Somebody:  Character:  Who?  Wanted:  Goal:  What were they  trying to do?  But:  Conflict:  What got in their  way?  So:  Resolution: How did they  solve their problem?  How did they reach their  goal?  Jonas
 Jonas
wants
to
find
his
place
 in
the
community
and
 understand
why
he
is
 different
 Jonas
sees
the
world
 differently
than
the
rest
of
the
 community
particularly
once
 he
becomes
the
Receiver.
He
 has
difficulty
reconciling
his
 knowledge
and
morals
with
 the
choices
of
the
community
 Jonas
leaves
the
community
 with
Gabriel
to
protect
him
 from
being
released.
 
 He
keeps
his
morality
intact
 The
Giver
 The
Giver
wants
to
retire
and
 give
his
memories
to
the
new
 Receiver
because
he
is
tired,
 in
pain
and
old
 The
Giver
knows
that
 transmitting
the
memories
 causes
the
Receiver
pain
and
 he
doesn’t
want
to
hurt
 anyone.
He
is
also
afraid
 because
Rosemary
asked
for
 release
when
she
started
 getting
the
memories.
He
also
 doesn’t
approve
of
the
 community’s
choices
 The
Giver
transmits
the
 memories
to
Jonas
despite
 the
pain
because
the
 community
requires
it.
He
 does
help
Jonas
plan
his
 escape
but
he
won’t
leave
 himself.
 
 He
does
not
stand
up
for
his
 morality
 Jonas’
Father
 Jonas’
father
wants
to
feel
 comfortable
with
his
role
and
 work
in
the
community
but
 he
also
wants
to
save
Gabriel
 Gabriel
does
not
fall
in
line
 with
the
community
values
so
 Jonas’
father
brings
him
into
 their
home
to
try
to
help
him.
 He
agrees
to
release
Gabriel
 Community
 The
people
in
the
community
 want
everyone
and
 everything
to
be
the
same
 Jonas
and
Gabriel
don’t
fit
 into
the
roles
that
the
 community
wants
them
to
 have.
 The
community
decides
to
 maintain
their
sameness
and
 release
Gabriel.
They
try
to
 hunt
Jonas
down
when
he
 escapes
in
order
to
preserve
 their
society.
