An inspector finds a prostitute unconscious by the river. Assumes she attempted suicide; but it's not,someone tried to kill her and cover up the crime to make it look like suicide. The prostitute gets amnesia, forgets her past, becomes as innocent as a child. So, basically, she symbolizes how humans were before they were affected by the ways of society. Anyways, the inspector hates her at first, because she is, after all, a prostitute, but later on comes to love her-of course, this happens towards the end of the story.
The question is WHO tried to kill her?A clergyman who had an affair with her,but tried to cover it up for the sake of his reputation?
Should I have the inspector find a diary of the prostitute's which tells of her life before she got amnesia?
How should the story end?Turn her back into a prostitute,by the influence of society?
....This isn't a mystery fiction, it's mostly based on the life of the prostitute

What sin is referred to in lines 1 - 2?

WILT Thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Which was my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt Thou forgive that sin, through which I run,
And do run still, though still I do deplore?
When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done,
For I have more.

II.
Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I have won
Others to sin, and made my sin their door?
Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun
A year or two, but wallowed in a score?
When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done,
For I have more.

III.
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore ;
But swear by Thyself, that at my death Thy Son
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore ;
And having done that, Thou hast done ;
I fear no more.

When I was in 8th grade, my english class read "The Giver" and nobody except me and the teacher seemed to understand it. Who else has read it and understood it? If you have, do you know why other people might not understand it? It seemed easy for me to understand. Also, does anyone know if there is a sequel to it??

An inspector finds a prostitute unconscious nxt to an abandoned Inn. The prostitute gets amnesia, forgets her past, becomes as innocent as a child (is this possible?)She's forgotten how to read or write,but knows how to talk. So, basically, she symbolizes how humans were before they were affected by the ways of society. Anyways, the inspector hates her at first, because she is, after all, a prostitute, but later on comes to love her-of course, this happens towards the end of the story. Anyways, what should the mystery behind her having been lying unconscious of next to an abandoned inn be?Who tried to kill her?Why? And should I have the inspector find a diary of the prostitutes which tells of her life before she got amnesia,like, the story will change from the present to the past, narrated in first person by the prostitute (her diary)And also,should I have her memory return later?How should the story end?Turn her back into a prostitute,by the influence of society
