Archetypes cont.

Hey there! I'm back with more on archetypes in The Giver. The Giver himself is a good example of the mentor archetype, having knowledge and experience he literally gives to Jonas, hence the title. Jonas can be seen as the hero in that he displays self sacrifice, taking on the Giver's harsh burden. He shows reflection and is changed so much by the journey. He finds an entire reality outside that which he once knew, with color and feeling and pain. That's all until this friday!
