1. Words are powerful. It is through words that we transmit history and memories, share feelings and ideas, and enact a change. Words can liberate or oppress people. Words can evoke powerful feelings. Words can make people believe stereotypes. How do people use words to do all this? In The Giver, community members are taught precision of language from a young age to ensure the correct ideas are always transmitted. How are words that we tend to be passionate about changed in the community? Think about words like: “love”, “passion/desire”, “family”, “home”, “career”, etc.
