PersonalityAsher is very energetic, clumsy, careless, and imprecise with words, but cheerful and good-humored, but this results in him being hard to work with. He is a bit excitable sometimes which results in him speaking too fast and imprecisely, like when he was a three, and mixed up snack with the word "smack", receiving many blows of the "discipline wand" on his hand and legs. This resulted in a silent Asher for a while, but after a while he learned and began to talk with greater precision. Asher is usually late for school, and uses multiple excuses to explain this. On the other hand he is described by most as fun to be around.

It will be his job to develop games and oversee playing. Jonas thinks the assignment is perfect, because it is wha for Asher because it's something he does naturally. "I worry a little about Asher's Assignment," Jonas confessed. "Asher's such fun. But he doesn't really have any serious interests. He makes a game out of everything." Source(s)The Giver Jonas’s friend Asher demonstrates the community’s inability to truly enforce Sameness, and provides an example of a person for whom life in the community is not entirely comfortable. Although Jonas considers Asher his best friend, Jonas looks down on Asher’s distractibility, even speculating that Asher’s parents delayed applying for another child because Asher is so exhausting. Asher’s foibles involve small issues, such as word confusion, that appear to stem from an underlying issue, possibly a learning disability. The community’s methods of shame and physical discipline cannot force Asher to better fit the mold. While Asher never trespasses enough to warrant release, his inability to fit neatly into the community’s rules nevertheless vexes the elders. Even when Asher receives his assignment, a moment meant to celebrate his achievements, the Chief Elder tells a humiliating story of a teacher hitting Asher. Asher responds with a “rueful” expression of discomfort. Given Asher’s continued language issues, the story appears less a fond anecdote and more a public humiliation. While everyone treats Jonas differently after his selection as Receiver, Asher’s awkwardness in particular hurts Jonas, and suggests jealousy. When Jonas stops his friends from playing a game of war, Asher quickly asserts his newfound expertise in game-playing as Assistant Director of Recreation, emphasizing that he has knowledge that Jonas does not. Asher’s insistence that Jonas’s Receiver assignment does not grant him authority over games shows how uncomfortable their different statuses make him. When Asher apologizes, he doesn’t apologize for making Jonas uncomfortable with the game of war but for not respecting Jonas’s position. Asher cannot understand Jonas’s attempt to explain the horrible reality of war, and Jonas’s inability to explain the terrors he has received from The Giver widens the gap between them. What is Asher's assignment in The Giver Chapter 7?Jonas watches and listens as his classmates receive their Assignments. His friend Asher is assigned the position of Assistant Director of Recreation after the Chief Elder gives a long and humorous speech about Asher's pleasant, fun-loving nature and the trouble he has had in using precise language.
What assignment did Asher and Fiona get?Anyway, the Chief Elder finally gets around to giving Asher his assignment: Assistant Director of Recreation. Yay. And the assignments continue. When the Chief Elder gets to Fiona, number Eighteen and standing to Jonas' left, she assigns Caretaker of the Old, which everyone finds appropriate.
Why was Asher assignment of assistant director of recreation?He enjoys recreation time. He has good humor and an enjoyable personality. Asher is very serious about the rules especially when games are concerned. This is the only reason he is selected for his assignment.
Why is Asher not assigned to be an instructor of threes?The Instructor of Three's would not suit Asher because when children are in their Three's the focus is on acquiring the correct language, and Asher was not very precise with his choice of words. Instead, Asher's assignment was as Assistant Director of Recreation.
