The Giver Chapter14
Süžeeskeem Tekst
- "May I have relief-of-pain, please?" he begged. It was always provided in his everyday life for the bruises and wounds, for a mashed finger, a stomach ache, a skinned knee from a fall from a bike. There was always a daub of anesthetic ointment, or a pill; or in severe instances, an injection that brought complete and instantaneous deliverance.But The Giver said no, and looked away.

It was not unendurable, as the pain on the hill had been. Jonas tried to be brave. He remembered that the Chief Elder had said he was brave.
- But Jonas remembered the rules. No medication for anything related to his training.And no discussion of his training. At the time for sharing-of-feelings, he simply said that he felt tired, that his school lessons had been unusually demanding that day.
- "Is something wrong, Jonas?""You're so quiet tonight. Aren't you feeling well? Would you like some medication?"
