In "The Giver," there are examples of figurative language such as metaphor, simile, and symbolism. One instance of metaphor is when Jonas carries memories described as "burdens" like heavy weights. Symbolism is shown through the color red representing strong emotions, while simile is seen when Jonas compares the release of memories to a sled going downhill.
There are four books in The Giver series by Lois Lowry: "The Giver," "Gathering Blue," "Messenger," and "Son."
In chapters 6 through 10 of "The Giver," the occupations mentioned include Nurturer, instructor, laborer, doctor, engineer, and Receiver of Memory. Each member of the community is assigned a specific job based on their skills and aptitude to contribute to the society's functioning.

In Chapters 1-5 of "The Giver," the setting is a seemingly utopian community where everything is controlled and regulated. The community appears to be peaceful and harmonious, with rules and procedures governing every aspect of daily life. Jonas, the protagonist, is getting ready to turn twelve and receive his assigned role in the community.
Jonas is described as curious, intelligent, and eager to learn during school in "The Giver." He participates actively in discussions and demonstrates a genuine desire to understand the world around him. His sensitivity and compassion also set him apart from his classmates.

The Giver holds the memories of the society's past, serving as a repository of knowledge and experience. He is responsible for advising the community's leaders based on the memories he possesses, guiding them in decision-making and providing a historical perspective on issues that arise. Through his role, The Giver helps maintain order and stability in the society.
When the narrator says the giver is obviously thinking, it implies that the giver's thoughts are evident through his actions or expression. The giver may be contemplating the weight of the memories he carries or strategizing how to best convey their importance to the narrator.
The word "sinuous" appears on page 61 in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. It describes the river that flows through the community.
