TFA uses "giving" and "taking" in an idiosyncratic way. Specifically, in terms of giving/taking the stage. That's the purpose of the story about improv at the top.

Yeah. This was the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around while reading. Even after the terms were put in context, it was Hard Work to continue forcing them into my mind.
Eventually I just gave up on that and realized that the rest of the point was thoroughly useful without those terms.
