The Giver Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The Ceremony of Twelve begins. When it is his friend Asher's turn, the Chief Elder recalls a time in the boy's youth when he was unable to distinguish between the words âsmackâ and âsnack,â which resulted in repeated physical punishments and led him to stop speaking for a time. In spite of the embarrassing story, Asher's Assignment as the Assistant Director of Recreation is a good one. Jonas watches as the Elevens before him are given Assignments that seem to suit and please them from the Chief Elder. When it is his turn, however, his number and name are passed over, an event which shocks and unsettles him and the rest of the community.

Jonas waits impatiently through the first and the second day for the Ceremony of Twelve
