In the giver Why do you think Lowry put the memory of war in a separate chapter instead of making it part of another chapter?

Answer 1

By putting the memory of war in a chapter of its own, the author brings attention to its importance. In chapter it is the climax of Jonas' training as Receiver, and it has the effect of irrevocably changing the way he looks at everything that comes after it. Because Jonas now truly knows what pain is, he can better appreciate the softer, tender memories of Grandparents and love and family; their preciousness is acutely enhanced in contrast to the Horror previously experienced. After Jonas receives the memory of war, he begins to think more deeply and actively about what life in the Community really means. This was important that she separate chapter instead of making it part of another chapter.

Answer 2

Separating the memory of war into its own chapter allows Lowry to give this significant event the attention and impact it deserves. By isolating it, she creates a distinct moment that stands out in the reader's mind, emphasizing the horrors and consequences of war. This also allows Lowry to focus on this specific memory without it getting lost or diluted within the narrative of other chapters.
