Line 9:
** Oh, and let's not forget the memory of [[War Is Hell|dying soldiers.]] From Jonas's point of view, ''it lasted for'' '''''hours.'''''
* [[Tear Jerker]]: What happened to {{spoiler|Rosemary}} is bad enough, but when you find out that {{spoiler|she was The Giver's ''daughter,'' and that he watched her "being released," and that HE plans on "being released" himself now that he's finished teaching Jonas,}} it takes on a whole new level of depressing.
* [[This Is Your Premise
* [[Uncanny Valley]]
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The idea of an eye color being "superior", especially [[Blue Eyes|light eyes]], may be shady if you're [[Godwin's Law|thinking that way]], but the even more unfortunate implication is that Jonas's first "encounter" with people of a different race is them brutally killing a defenseless elephant.
* [[Wham! Line]]: At some point The Giver mentions that {{spoiler|there used to be another receiver named Rosemary. She was given sweet memories most of the time, but when she started to get the ''really'' painful memories, she asked to be released. After she died, her memories were let out, and there was chaos. Only with The Giver's help did people return to their normal lives. Later on, you also learn that The Giver has a daughter. Jonas, eager to help, asked what her name was. The reply? [[Tear Jerker|"Her name was Rosemary."]]}}
