Question

What is the telling in the giver

Answer 1

The purpose of dream-telling is to determine any emotions a person might be feeling that the person does not realize and get rid of them. Jonas's community has two rituals related to feelings. There is the telling of feelings every night and the telling of dreams every morning.

Answer 2

Dream-telling is a morning ritual used by Jonas's community. Like the feeling-telling in the evening, dream-telling is designed to identify, label, and dismiss feelings in the pursuit of Sameness. The community's goal is to eliminate all feelings in order to make sure that the citizens are happy, or at least numb.
