The giver- 1st Blog post

The characters that have been mentioned in the book are Jonas it says he is an “11” so it means either he is 11 or in grade 11, he has a sister Lilly and it says she is a “7” so again she could be in age 7 or she could be in grade 7. There are two other characters in the book and that is Mother and Father. There isn’t much about Mother and Father yet but what we do know is that the Mother is something like a lawyer and the father is something like a nurturer (works with the newborns) and that’s all we really know about the characters. I don’t have a prediction of what is going to happen in chapter two because we just started the book.

My question for this chapter is what is “12” and “7”
