Question

Why was Rosemary's death a disaster for the Giver?

Answer 1

Answer: Rosemary's death hit the community hard, but it was particularly disastrous for the Giver because she was his daughter. He was aware of their connection when she became his apprentice, and he tried to insulate her from physically painful memories by instead focusing on emotionally painful ones.

Answer 2
